Abstract: Agriculture mostly depends on suitable supply of water for irrigation. Before application of water, water quality must be measured because of secure in-toxic food production If the Poor quality of irrigation water is not managed properly then it poses many hazards to plant production. So for the better plant and crop production the quality of the water need to be analyzed properly and improving further management. With the finality to analyze the irrigation water quality (physico-chemical parameters), different places of Pabna District were evaluated. Twenty water samples were collected in the winter season (January-march) and then they were examined for temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), and so on. The study indicates that waters were found within the permissible limits for irrigation purposes. So, The irrigation water samples from surface water, Ground water and deep tube-wells water can be used in agricultural purposes.

Abstract: Flood risks in urban areas constitute today an important research topic in geography, because of increasingly disastrous consequences of certain pluviometry events in more and more important cities. The urban area of Sfax in southern Tunisia, with 22000 hectares and 600,000 inhabitants was also affected, during the five last decades, by floods with recurrent catastrophic consequences. If the flood hazards at the base of these floods risks are relatively well known, the vulnerabilities of the involved stakes are much less. This paper aims to high light, using spatial analysis and GIS mapping, the effective links between territorial features of Sfax and flood processing conditions and proposes a new approach to the risks through a better characterization of its vulnerabilities, which seem largely related to economic factors, human and functioning spatial structures and shapes. The results have confirmed that the existing protection infrastructures of the of Sfax urban area are no longer adequate to deal with the new vulnerabilities, and that it is high time for the risk management of flood to be directed to wards the attenuation of these vulnerabilities by seeking solutions in a future installation by the adoption of a PPRF, one (CMP) and by the integration of risk of flood in the urban development.

Abstract: Drinking water quality is of fundamental importance to human physiology and the durability of humanity depends very much on it’s availability. The present research was conducted purposely to assess the quality of ground water from areas located around Dala hills. Five samples were collected from Rijiya Biyu (D1), Kantudu (D2), Makwalla (D3) Kabawa (D4) and Dala (D5) for physicochemical analysis. The physico-chemical parameters analyzed are pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, turbidity, colour, odour, total suspended solid (TSS), Suspended solids (SS), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Calcium, magnesium, chloride, Total Hardness, Alkalinity and free CO2. The result obtained shows that the water studied has a mean value of 1.6 NTU for turbidity, 8.14 for pH, 1512.2 μS/cm for electrical conductivity, 845mg/L for total dissolved solids. Total suspended solids has a mean value of 845mg/L, Suspended solids 0.00mg/L, Temperature 28.2°C, colour 5 Hazen, total hardness 149.96mg/L, alkalinity 51.4mg/L, chloride 31.08mg/L free CO2 72mg/L, Calcium 62.37 mg/L and 92.99 mg/L for magnesium. As the result indicated all the physicochemical parameters are within the recommended levels set by World Health Organization (WHO) and Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) except for conductivities at all the samples site, and magnesium at D1, D2, and D3.
