Dear Dr. Noui,

Obviously, the values of ground water conductance measured by electrical devices indicate the salinity of ground water per se amount of soluble salts and may help in deciding it's suitability for irrigation purpose.

electric prospecting devices can measure salinity of water.

Measure IMP for quality irrigation water [

This is directly related to the quantity of salts dissolved in the irrigation water. All irrigation water contains potentially injurious salts and nearly all the dissolved salts are left in the soil after the applied water is lost by evaporation from the soil or through transpiration by the plants. Unless the salts are leached from the root zone, sooner or later they will accumulate in quantities which will partially or entirely prevent growth of most crops. ]
