“…Such groundwater is rated as highly and very highly saline for irrigation. Although some researches suggested that it is rational and feasible to use brackish water to irrigate the winter wheat in this region (Pang et al 2009;Ma et al 2008;Zhou et al 2010), special considerations of salinity effect on water and solute permeability should be taken (Saleh et al 1999) to avoid the crisis of negative acquisition of water and organic matter in crop. Soil quality deterioration caused by the salinity accumulation should also be avoided as possible.…”

To characterize the spatial distribution of groundwater level (GWL) and its chemistry characteristics in the low plain around the Bohai Sea, shallow groundwater depth of 130 wells were determined. Water soluble ions composition, total dissolved solid (TDS), electric conductivity (EC), total hardness (TH), total alkalinity (TA), and total salt content (TS) of 128 representative groundwater samples were also measured. Classical statistics, geostatistical method combined with GIS technique were then used to analyze the spatial variability and distribution of GWL and groundwater chemical properties. Results show that GWL, TDS, EC, TH, TA, and TS all presented a lognormal distribution and could be fitted by different semivariogram models (spherical, exponential, and Gaussian). Spatial structure of GWL, TDS, EC, TH, TA, and TS changed obviously. GWL decreased from west inland plain to the east coastal plain, however, TDS, EC, and TS increased from west to east, TH and TA were higher in the middle and coastal plain area. Groundwater chemical type in the coastal plain was SO (4) (2-) ·Cl(-)-Na(+) while chemical types in the inland plain were SO (4) (2-) ·Cl(-)-Ca(2+)·Mg(2+) and HCO (3) (-) -Ca(2+)·Mg(2+).

“…Many investigators showed that the use of saline water in irrigation resulted in a marked increase in soil salinity, Kandiah, (1990), van Hoorn et al, (1993), Pang et al, (2004), Ma et al, (2008) and Ben Ahmed et al, 2012). On the other hand, El-Nagar (1995) stated that the soil salinity profile differs distinctly among several of irrigation systems due to the different methods of water application.…”

Field experiment was conducted in calcareous soil at Maryout Experimental Station Farm, Desert Research Center, Egypt to investigate the influence of deficit irrigation water using highly saline water on yield and water productivity of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, mill., cultivator 888) under drip and gated pipe irrigation systems. The tomato plants were subjected to 3 deficit irrigation depths (100, 75 and 50 % of ETc) throughout 3 growth stages (development, flowering and harvesting) using highly saline water of 9.15 dSm -1 plus control treatment. The tomato plants were irrigated by the full irrigation (100 % ETc) during the whole growth season using slightly saline water of 2.80 dSm -1 . The reduction percentage in tomato fruit yield ranged between 9.9 to 41.5 % and 9.1 to 30.9 % at treatment T 2 100 D (plants irrigated by the full irrigation: 100% of ETc) using highly saline water throughout the development stage then irrigated by the same water depth using slightly saline water (agricultural drainage water), throughout the other growth stages and treatment T 9 50 F (plants irrigated by deficit irrigation depth of 50% ETc using highly saline water, 9.15dSm -1 . The flowering growth stage of tomatoes was the highest stage influenced to deficit irrigation using highly saline water especially at deficit irrigation of 50 % ETc. The tomato fruit yield under drip irrigation system was significantly higher than that obtained under gated pipe irrigation system. The highest value of crop water productivity (CWP) was obtained at control treatment and the lowest value was obtained at treatment T 9 50-F. The highest and lowest values were 9.5 and 5.56 kg/m 3 and 8.23 and 5.69 kg/m 3 under drip and gated pipe irrigation systems, respectively. A significant polynomial relationship between tomato fruit yield (Y), kg/m 2 , and applied irrigation water (AW), m 3 /m 2 was given with R 2 0.78. The predicted maximum yields were 18.54 and 11.63 kg/m 2 and the corresponding calculated the applied irrigation water were 2.57 and 2.59 m 3 /m 2 under drip and gated pipe irrigation systems, respectively. The crop response factor (Ky) using highly saline water under drip and gated pipe irrigation systems were 1.090 and 0.743, respectively.

“…Especially over dryland areas, soil salinization is more likely to occur because of harsh climatic conditions and irrational irrigation practices (Clarke et al, 2002;Ma et al, 2008). While salinization has direct effects on cultivated lands, e.g., crop failures (Bernstein, 1974;De Pascale and Barbieri, 1995), it may also trigger many other land degradation processes, such as soil dispersion (Metternicht and Zinck, 2003).…”
