The observed values, however, were well within the safe limit for drinking (WHO, 1973) as well as for crop production (FAO, 1975). Similar trend was also observed in case of
conductivity. The values of conductivity ranged from 0.225 to 0.615 with an overall mean of 0.395 mmhos/cm. Table 1 shows the mean seasonal values of conductivity in the range of 0.330 to 0.460 mmhos/cm and the mean locationwise values within 0.376 to 0.407 mmhos/cm.
