Discussion

Observational analysis revealed poor water quality in arid regions, indicating severe salinity issues affecting agriculture.

Water quality assessments showed that many samples exceeded safe levels for both drinking and irrigation, highlighting severe contamination concerns.
Key metrics like pH, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids significantly reflected water quality challenges in this region.
The study employed a geographic information system to evaluate seasonal water quality across 104 sampling points in the command area.
Recommendations include introducing salt-sensitive crops and enhancing soil permeability to tackle adverse water quality impacts.

Wadghane et al. (2025) studied this question.
