A survey of groundwater quality for irrigation of different crops was conducted at different villages of Sonipat district, Haryana during 2020-2021. A total 765 water samples were collected and analyzed for various haydrochemical parameters pH, EC, (Ca2+ , Mg2+ , Na+ and K+) and anions (CO32- , HCO3-, Cl- and SO42- ) by using standard procedures. Irrigation indices such as SAR, RSC,were calculated for these samples. The pH, EC, SAR and RSC in groundwater ranged from 6.50 to 11.50, 0.24-22.32 (dS m-1), 0.22 to 45.28(mmoll-1)1/2 and 0.00-14.40 (me l-1), respectively. The trend among the average ionic concentration of cations and anions were Na+> Mg2+> Ca2+> K+ and anions were Cl-> SO42- >HCO3-> CO32-. According to AICRP,1989 in Sonipat district 31.37, 19.48, 4.44, 18.56, 6.54,3.66 and 15.95 per cent samples were found in good, marginally saline, saline, high SAR saline, marginally alkali, alkali and highly alkali categories, respectively. Spatial variability maps of EC, SAR and RSC of irrigated ground water were also prepared in the Sonipat district.
