Abstract:
      Salinity of soil and groundwater, main ions components and their distribution in the study area were analyzed. The results showed that: The average value of groundwater salinity was 2.37 g/L, and the average pH value was 7.63. The abandance of anions in groundwater was in the following order: Cl->SO42->HCO3->CO32-, while the abandance of cations in groundwater was in the following order: Ca2+>Na+>Mg2+>K+, and the chemical type of groundwater belonged to Cl--Ca2+ type of water. The pH value of each soil layer increased gradually with the increase of soil salinity, and the soil salinity was accumulated at the soil surface. In the sp atial scale, the salinity of each soil layer and groundwater was increased from the marginal parts to central parts of the study area.
