Abstract

The effect of Water quality on soil water retention, structure, and hydraulic conductivity in two soil textures was studied. Undisturbed soil samples were treated in 5 wetting and drying periods with 6 different types of Water quality consisting of 2 levels of EC (0. 2 and 10 dS m-1) and three levels of SAR (1, 5 and 12). Undisturbed soil samples were equilibrated on sand box apparatus to soil matric suctions of 0, 10, 20, 40 and 60 cm and on pressure plate apparatus to soil matric suctions of 100, 300, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 15000 cm. The van Genuchten-Mualem model was fitted to simulate the measured soil water characteristic curve. Soil physical quality index (S) and the inflection point of water retention curve (θ INFL) were evaluated using fitted parameters. Also, the macro-porosity, meso-porosity, micro-porosity, available water content (AWC100 and AWC300), and saturated hydraulic conductivity were measured. The study was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. Results showed that increasing EC caused soil particles flocculation, by developing some new pores and, consequently, increasing water retention capacity. Although increase in SAR dispersed soil particles, alteration of some macro-pores and meso-pores to micro-pores enhanced water retention, especially at high matric suctions. But, the available water content did not change significantly. Also, increase in water EC enhanced water retention at all matric suctions and the highest moisture content at inflection point was seen at EC of 10 dSm-1. The increase in SAR and decrease in EC were directly related to decrease in saturated hydraulic conductivity. Soil physical quality index (S) decreased by sodium increment, which indicated the reduced soil physical quality.
