How can we develop irrigation water of desired RSC value?For eg. if we want to have irrigation water of RSC 5 and 10, what is required quantity of different salts to be added into the distilled water?(NaCl,Na2So4,NaHCO3, MgCl2 and CaCl2)
You can use NaCl and sodium Carbonate salts. Excessive Na in known amount can be added using calculated amount of NaCl in known concentration NaCo3 solution. That excessive Na (from NaCl) will represent known value of RSC. Convert Known Na concentration from me/L to mg/L and calculate how much NaCl is required to give certain amount of Na ion concentration in solution
Dear we could dilute it accordingly with good quality canal water or if you have sodic water then we could add gypsum accordingly based on the water quality tests.
Renjith , similar type of question we debated at length raised by Dr Nazir on ReseacrhGate . Probably , we take advantage very useful discussion already there .
Dear Renjit please study the paper attached which will prove helpful.
