Abstract
Water samples of new tubewell bores from various locations of District Chakwal, were collected for chemical analysis. The objective was to check their irrigation quality prior to their use for irrigation purpose. Salt concentration in water samples, collected from 56 locations, varied from 211 to 723 mg L'1 . Four water samples have TSS>800 but ■2000 mg Lr< and only two sites have 2000-mg L". Sodium adsorption ration (SAR) of the samples ranged from 0.07 to 4.92 whereas residual sodium carbonate (RSC) of 47 samples ranged from zero to 1.20 mmol L~'. These are considered desirable characteristics for irrigation water. However, samples obtained from 9 locations have RSC > 1.25 but < 2.25 mmol L . while samples from 6 locations had 2.25 mmol L~'.
