Why Test Agricultural Water?
Agricultural water can come from various sources, including private wells, surface water, and municipal supplies. These sources can introduce contaminants that impact crop yield, soil health, and livestock productivity. Regular water testing helps:
Ensure that irrigation water is free from harmful substances that could stunt growth or contaminate produce.
Provide clean drinking water for animals, free from bacteria and heavy metals.
Meet state and federal guidelines for agricultural water quality.
Prevent long-term soil degradation caused by contaminants like excess salts or heavy metals.
