A Fuzzy Logic Approach for Irrigation Water Quality Assessment: A Case Study of Karunya Watershed, India

The water used for irrigation purposes remains unnoticed in a quality perspective. The ground water is a major source for irrigation in many arid and semi arid regions of India. The widely accepted standard for irrigation water is the United States Salinity Laboratory (USSL) classification system, which is based on Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) and Electrical Conductivity (EC). In the present study, a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) has been developed to classify ground water for irrigation purposes.
