The present investigation entitled “Correlation of irrigation water and soil in Telhara and Nandura tehsils of Purna valley” was undertaken during 2020-2021 at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra. The investigation was carried out to correlate the properties of irrigation water and properties of soil by using saturated soil paste extract in Purna tract in Telhara and Nandura tehsil. Twenty water samples from borewells were collected in post monsoon season (winter) from Telhara tehsil of Akola Disrict and Nandura tehsil of Buldhana District.

The simple correlation studies indicated that the parameters of irrigation water collected from borewell especially in respect of EC, Sodium and bicarbonates have highly correlated with parameters of soil.
