About the Journal
Focus and Scope
The Journal of Soil Salinity and Water Quality publishes results of novel, original, and quality research, critical reviews, short communications and salient recommendations of scientific conferences and symposia on soil salinity and irrigation water quality research.
 The society encourages to publish the contributions that demonstrate remote sensing and GIS technologies for resource (soil, water and vegetation) mapping, pedogenesis, characterization of salt-affected soils and water, their reclamation and management technologies, drainage and soil reclamation engineering, physiological and biological (including microbial) processes to understand stress tolerance and crop productivity, and ecology of saline habitats.
 Articles dealing with investigations of fundamental, basic and applied nature in saline agriculture, horticulture, agroforestry, agro-ecosystems and saline ecosystems; natural resources management; conservation agriculture; judicious utilization of poor-quality waters; domestication of under-explored and improved halophytic crops and economically important wild species, salinity tolerance models, bioengineering of crop improvement, and biophysical and socioeconomic aspects are also published.
