A survey of groundwater quality for irrigation was conducted in different villages of Hisar district, Haryana during 2021-2022 and 380 water samples were collected and analyzed for various hydro-chemical parameters viz. 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 6.35 to 9.48, 0.20-14.90 (dS m-1), 2.10-32.87(mmol l-1)1/2 and 0.00-6.30 (mel-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 Hisar district 26.3, 20.5, 5.5, 39.2, 1.1,1.1 and 6.3 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 ground water used for irrigation in the district were also prepared.
