Abstract | The threshold electrolyte concentration (TEC) relationships were determined for surface and lower depth soil samples from the proposed Fairview irrigation areas. The TEC relationship provides a relative measure of the change in hydraulic conductivity when the soil is in equilibrium with the applied water quality. These TEC relationships can be used to determine the effect on the soil structure of applying irrigation water of different quality (i.e. sodium adsorption ratio and electrical conductivity). The analyses assume a bicarbonate level of <100 mg L-1. Surface soil samples were provided for three sampling sites. Deeper samples (ranging between 10 and 60 cm) were also supplied for each site. The stable hydraulic conductivity of the |
