  2. Soil salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_salinity

    Salinity is an important land degradation problem. Soil salinity can be reduced by leaching soluble salts out of soil with excess irrigation water. Soil salinity control involves watertable control and flushing in combination with tile drainage or another form of subsurface drainage.

  3. Soil salinity control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_salinity_control

    Soil salinity control refers to controlling the process and progress of soil salinity to prevent soil degradation by salination and reclamation of already salty (saline) soils. Soil reclamation is also known as soil improvement, rehabilitation, remediation , recuperation, or amelioration.

  4. Environmental impact of irrigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    where water tables are shallow, the irrigation applications are reduced. As a result, the soil is no longer leached and soil salinity problems develop; stagnant water tables at the soil surface are known to increase the incidence of water-borne diseases like malaria, filariasis, yellow fever, dengue, and schistosomiasis (Bilharzia) in many ...

  5. Salt tolerance of crops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_tolerance_of_crops

    The salt level is often taken as the soil salinity or the salinity of the irrigation water. Salt tolerance is of importance in irrigated lands in (semi)arid regions where the soil salinity problem can be extensive as a result of the salinization occurring here. It concerns hundreds of millions of hectares. [2]

  6. Dryland salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryland_salinity

    Dryland salinity management often focuses on vegetation, yet it is the collective role of soils and vegetation that has an effect on the root cause of the problem, recharge. Soil health cannot be ignored as a valuable and extensive activity for the management of dryland salinity – the multiple benefits of improving soil health are clear and ...

  7. Waterlogging (agriculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterlogging_(agriculture)

    In irrigated agricultural land, waterlogging is often accompanied by soil salinity as waterlogged soils prevent leaching of the salts imported by the irrigation water. From a gardening point of view, waterlogging is the process whereby the soil hardens to the point where neither air nor water can soak through.

  9. Alkali soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_soil

    Where the underground water contains high salts, it leads to acute salinity problem. This problem can be reduced by applying mulch to the land. Using poly-houses or shade netting during summer for cultivating vegetables/crops is also advised to mitigate soil salinity and conserve water / soil moisture.
