Ground Water Quality and Irrigation: A Potential Source of Sodium in the Soils of the Macon Ridge (November 1992)
Ground Water Quality and Irrigation: A Potential Source of Sodium in the Soils of the Macon Ridge (November 1992)

The purpose of this research was (1) to determine if the natural rise and fall of saline ground water is the source of Na in the soils of the Macon Ridge, and (2) to determine if the use of saline irrigation water results in salinization (increasing levels of both Na and Cl) of the soil environment.
