The pH of the water from the recent farms (constructed in 2004) was very acidic (2.71), while the 1988 farms were the most basic (pH = 7.44). the conductivity of the water ranged from 938 to 1570 μS/cm. Nitrate levels ranged from 136.40 to 365.8 mg/L for the different rice fields. Phosphate levels ranged from 509.77 to 12322.78 mg/L for paddy – fields. Total nitrogen (Tot N) ranged from 30.8 to 82.6 mg/L for the different paddy field sites. Potassium ranged from 2.22 to 17.02 mg/L for paddy – fields and 1.29 to 4.44 mg/L. Sodium ranged from 3.05 to 11.1 mg/L for paddy – fields
