“…The salt content of the irrigation water is important in connection with the reclamation of alkali soil, as was pointed out previously by Scofield and Headley, (23) and by Kelley and Brown. (17) 'I'heexperiments of Gedroiz, (7) de Dominicis, (6) Cummins and Kelley, (5) and others, showing that extremely adverse chemical and physical conditions develop in sodium saline soils upon leaching out the soluble salts, were all conducted with the aid of distilled water.…”

“…A subsequent report by Schwennesen and Forbes characterized groundwater in San Simon Valley, Arizona and New Mexico, for domestic use and irrigation [18]. Clark reported on the chemical composition of groundwater in the Morgan Hill area of California [19], while Scofield and Headly [20] evaluated water composition with respect to irrigation potential. Most of these early works focused on understanding the impact of water quality on long-term viability of irrigation in arid regions of the United States.…”

“…For a given ionic strength, soils tend to have poor structure at high SAR and good structure at low SAR. Indeed, this concept has been known for a long time: “Hard water [low SAR] makes soft land and soft water [high SAR] makes hard land” (Scofield and Headley, 1921). The relationship between SAR and soil structure explains why calcium‐containing soil conditioners such as gypsum are useful in restoring permeability (Shainberg and Letey, 1984).…”
