Summary
A rise in the level of the water table to the effective root zone results in decreasing yields because of salinity and sodicity, and eventually such areas cannot be cultivated. For sustainable irrigated agriculture, the salinity and level of the water table should be monitored continuously and held within tolerable limits.
