IDENTIFICATION OF SALINE, ALKALI AND WATER LOGGED AREAS IN SRISAILAM RIGHT BANK CANAL COMMAND AREA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 53
Abstract
Salinity, alkalinity and water logging have become serious problems in canal irrigated areas of semi-arid regions. These three problems are mainly responsible for poor yield of crops in canal irrigated areas. The total length of the Srisailam Right Bank Canal was 198 km and carrying capacity was 5000 cusecs. Under Srisailam Right Bank Canal the soils are black cotton soils and the major source of irrigation in the command area is dug wells and bore wells. In Srisailam Right Bank Canal command, 14160 acres of land has identified as alkalinity problem, 11725 acres of land has salinity problem and 19360 acres of land has water logged areas.
