Soil salinity in relation to irrigation

Hilgardia, 1949, vol. 18, issue 18

Abstract: Investigations of the trend of salinity were conducted in typical farming areas of four southern California counties, over a ten-year period. The data show that the salinity of most of the soil areas examined is not increasing as a direct result of salts contained in the irrigation water. The salts thus added are being displaced downward wherever sufficient water is applied and where drainage conditions permit deep penetration.
