Abstract:
The chemical stuff containing domestic
and industrial waste effluents are principal sources to
degrade the quality of agricultural land through water
supplying practices from its related inland water
bodies. The contribution of domestic and other
improper waste disposal to the inland water bodies
were monitored over a period of six months for three
of different water bodies at South Eastern Region. The
significant level of sodium, dissolved oxygen (DO),
pH, temperature, salinity, Total dissolved solid (Tds)
and specific conductivity (SC) were measured.
Impact of the inorganic matters on these water
bodies were studied based on the specific conductivity
values and the influence of this parameter was studied
with other parameters. Absorption of the nutrients was
disturbed by the increasing level Sodium Absorption
Ratio (SAR). Mainly calcium and magnesium intake
ability of the crop massively disturbed by this sodium
containing wastewater and as a result of long term
improper maintenance of wastewater practices
significantly affect the paddy cultivation in this
region.
