In assessment study an experiment was conducted over 8.1 ha. salt infested area
during 2001-2002 at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth Rahuri, Maharashtra where subsurface
drains were installed. In order to study the impact of sub-surface drains on soil
properties, soil samples were collected with respect to drain spacing and depth at an
interval of four months and analyzed for various salinity parameters viz. pHs ECe, Ca2+
Mg2+ Na+ K+CI- CO/- HC03
- and S042- and it has been observed
that the 15 m drain spacing and 120cm drain depth was found better in improving
the soils properties.
