Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar

Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

    Characterization of ground water quality of Asandh and Nissing blocks of district Karnal, Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2005) Devraj Singh; Verma, S.L.
    Present study entitled, “Characterisation of ground water quality of Nissing and Asandh blocks of district Karnal, Haryana” and to assess the effect of different quality waters on physico-chemical properties of soils in respective blocks, was under taken. With the objective in view 407 and 357 tube-well water samples from 46 villages of Asandh and 50 villages of Nissing block respectively were collected. On the basis of water analysis, soil samples from Asandh and Nissing blocks were collected and analyzed for their physical and chemical properties. pH, EC, SAR and RSC in irrigation waters of Asandh varied from 7.15-9.2, 0.48-6.52 dSm-1, 0.26-19.86 (m mol l-1)½ and Nil-18.1 ml l-1 respectively. Likewise corresponding values of water quality varied from 7.2-9.1, 0.48-4.19 dSm-1, 1.05-19.86 (m mole l-1)½ and Nil-18.0 me l-1 respectively, in Nissing block. Dominant cation was sodium followed by magnesium and calcium. Likewise, in case of anions, bicarbonate was the dominant anion followed by chloride and sulphate upto EC 3dSm-1 and after EC range between 3-4 dSm-1 and above the trend was Cl- > SO42- >HCO3- >CO32- type water in Asandh block. In Nissing block, bicarbonates were the dominant anion followed by chloride and sulphate upto EC range 2-3 dSm-1 , in EC range 3-4 dSm-1 HCO3- > SO42- > Cl- > CO32- type waters and after EC 4 dSm-1 the trend was Cl- > HCO3- > SO42- > CO32- type water in respect of anions. RSC was observed only in tube-well waters having EC upto 3 and 4 dSm-1 respectively in Asandh and Nissing blocks and subsequent EC range of water did not show presence of RSC. In both Asandh and Nissing blocks maximum number of underground water samples (185 and 195) had EC between 1 and 2 dSm-1 and with the increase in EC, number of tube-well water samples decreased, under various range. As per Manchanda classification 49.4, 18.7, 0, 24.6 and 7.3 per cent waters of Asandh block were classified under good, marginal, saline, sodic and saline-sodic categories, respectively. Likewise 53.5, 6.4, 0.6, 38.7 and 0.8 per cent of the respective underground waters were found in the corresponding category in Nissing block. As per AICRP (1989) classification 35.63, 19.9, 5.41, 2.46, 15.48, 15.97 and 5.15 per cent waters of Asandh block were classified under good, marginally saline, saline, high SAR saline, marginally alkali, alkali and highly alkali categories, respectively. Likewise 45.7, 8.7, 0.3, 0.6, 20.2, 19.2 and 5.3 per cent of the respective underground waters were found in the corresponding categories in Nissing block. The use of poor quality water resulted salt accumulation in both the surface (0-15 cm) and sub surface (15-30 cm) layers. Mostly highest ECe and SARe were observed in the upper layer (0-15 cm) of soil.
