Abstract
Modern agricultural practices have significantly transformed the agricultural landscape, leading to increased crop yields and food production. However, these practices have also raised concerns about their impact on irrigation water quality and the subsequent pollution of groundwater resources. This literature review aims to provide an overview of the impact of modern agricultural practices on irrigation water quality and the potential risks of groundwater pollution. The experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2020-2021 at Laboratory conditions of Green Fields Institute of Agriculture Research & Training, Mangalpally, to study the Impact of Modern Agricultural Practices on Irrigation Water Quality Around Rangareddy District of Telangana. The water is the main source of farming the irrigation facility for the farmers will be from the cyclic source of water storage dam. The water is stored during the heavy rainfall the collected water are stored in the dams the dams will be the source of water main source then the water from the dams are left to the lacks and from the lakes the water is transferred through the canals to the nearby local lakes from there the nearby people over the lakes will be using the water as the source. Due to the increase in the industrialization the water from the industries are transferred to the lakes. So by this the pollutants released from the industry challenges water quality. The nature of the water mainly depends upon the different parameters such as pH, Conductivity, Salinity, Alkalinity, Acidity, hardness, turbidity and heavy metals etc. The heavy usage of inorganic chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides in a part of crop production and crop protection, directly showing impact on physico-chemical parameters of water. Taking this factor into consideration the present investigation carried by collecting various water samples from agricultural fields located in and around Rangareddy district of Telangana state, to understand the water chemistry at different sampling zones. The collected water samples were analyzed for various physical and chemical parameters according to standard methods available from literature. The obtained results were compared with soil quality parameters given by WHO for agriculture and concluded that most of the sampling points shown significant changes in their physical and chemical compositions. The obtained results also concluding that the water quality was degraded because of heavy loads of chemicals and fertilizers.
