Developing management practices for salt-affected soils and low-quality
irrigation waters includes determining the salinity of the soil and
the water, the origin of the various salts, and the crops that can be
grown. Gathering this information can he very time- and resource-consuming
because salt-affected soils tend to be extremely variable with
time and space. In this chapter, soil and water sampling methods and
the storage of samples will be discussed. References for the more commonly
accepted procedures are listed
