It is expected that ninety- five present of our food is directly or indirectly made on our soil. Healthy soil is the base of the food system. Soil is the main basis for agriculture and consequently the medium during which nearly all food-producing plants grow. Healthy soils produce healthy crops that successively feed people and animals. Indeed, soil quality is directly connected to food quality and quantity. Soil is that the resource of essential nutrients, water, oxygen and root sustenance that our food-producing plants got to grow and embellishment. They also function a buffer to guard delicate plant roots against drastic fluctuations in temperature. Irrigation water quality may be a critical aspect of crop production. There are several factors that regulate water quality. Among the foremost important are alkalinity, pH and soluble salts. But there are several other factors to think about, like whether water salts like calcium and magnesium or heavy metals which will clog irrigation systems or individual toxic ions are present. so as to work out this, water must be tested at a laboratory that’s equipped to check water for agricultural irrigation purposes
