Bhopalgarh tehsil bounded by Nagaur district to the north and east, Pipar city Keshwanand Rajasthan tehsil to the south, Jodhpur tehsil to the southwest and Bawadi tehsil to the west. Georeferenced sixty Agricultural University, Bikaner, water samples of tube well/open well were collected from different villages where the waters are being Rajasthan, India used for irrigation for last few years. The water samples were analyzed for various chemical properties + 2+ 2+ + 2- - - 2- like EC, pH, major cations: Na , Ca , Mg , K and anions: CO3 , HCO3 , Cl and SO4 . Subsequently, RK Jakhar Department of Soil Science and residual sodium carbonate (RSC), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), adjusted SAR, potential salinity and Agricultural Chemistry, Swami Mg/Ca ratio were also calculated. The quality of irrigation water was categorized on the basis of salinity Keshwanand Rajasthan (EC), sodicity (SAR) and alkalinity (RSC) into 4 salinity (C-1 to C-4) classes, 4 sodicity (S-0 to S-3) Agricultural University, Bikaner, classes and 3 alkalinity (A-1 to A-3) classes, respectively.
