Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A region's irrigation water has SAR values ranging from 5 to 20. Analyze management strategies for farmers who need to utilize this water sustainably.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of varying SAR levels.

Question 2

Calculate the SAR for a water sample with sodium at 12 mmol/L, calcium at 8 mmol/L, and magnesium at 3 mmol/L. Discuss water quality concerns if SAR exceeds acceptable levels.

💡 Hint: Refer to the formula for calculation.
