In these days there is lot of advertisement about use of magnetic to clean irrigation water but there is no scientific evidence. How magnetic effect?
What is the adverse effect of this technology?
I have attached one report for yours kind knowledge
Salinity depend upon dissolved ions , and pH ( acid and alkaline ) with hydrogen ion concentration . How these effected by magnetic technology if so should be interesting.
Dear Mr Zaheer,
I worked on this topic 5 years ago and there was a huge debit about how magnetic field effects on the physical and chemical properties of treated water. Based on some lab experiments have been done, I found out that the EC of the treated water increases and also its ability to dissolve the suspension material increases as well. Depending on the relevant literature, polarity of water molecules increases when they pass through the magnetic filed by re-organize the molecules; thus EC of water increases. See the attachment for some Figures.

I am not an expert; in fact i came to know about this topic from this post. So, I started reading some literature. Most of the information is coming from arcane journals which makes the idea more skeptical. Anyway, I am copying a portion of text which I found somehow relevant.
The mechanisms that influence plant growth and seed germination through magnetic treatment are not well understood. Some beneficial effects of the treatment could be related to the “gas bubble-water interface” (Vallée et al., 2005). Furthermore, these effects may be related to mechanisms such as intramolecular and intra-ionic interactions, effects of Lorentz forces, dissolution of contaminants and interfacial effects (Baker and Simon, 1996). The changes in hydrogen bonding and increased mobility of Na+ and Cl− ions with exposure of irrigation water to magnetic fields may also play some role in the plant growth and seed germination (Chang and Weng, 2008). It is also suggested that the magnetic treatment of water may result in changes in physical and chemical properties of water such as hydrogen bonding, polarity, surface tension, conductivity, pH, refractive index and solubility of salts (Smikhina, 1981; Srebrenik et al., 1993; Amiri and Dadkhah, 2006; Otsuka and Ozeki, 2006; Chang and Weng, 2008).
