Hello,
I have 26 acres of land in a hilly area, lot of plantation in Murbad Kalyan road, Varap Ulhasnagar. At least 5-6 borewell point have failed here inspite of going about 500 feet deep. Currently we have one borewell 220 feet with water.
This water is used for watering the plants, but they do not seem to be growing beyond 6 inches, whereas the same plants grow up to 3 feet during monsoon. We got the water test and were informed that the water is not potable but could be used to water plants. The results are listed below:
Physical Parameters Result Limit
pH 7.34 (6.52 to 8.5)
Chemical parameters
- Total dissolved solids - 718 mg/lit (500 mg/lit)
- Total hardness - 530 mg/lit (300 mg/lit)
- chlorides - 1030 mg/lit (250 mg/lit)
- sulphate - 94 mg/lit (200 mg/lit)
- TDS organic - 128 mg/lit
- TDS inorganic - 590 mg/lit
Would like to know if this water can be used to water plants?
