Reverse osmosis is very costly and therefore it is not economically to reduce the salinity of the irrigation water. Are biological or non-biological methods has been developed to reduce salinity of irrigation water? and have found wide (large-scale) application.
Reverse osmosis is not economically viable for reducing the salinity of of water used for irrigation purpose. Usually it is used as point source and In general for domestic uses.
