Effect Of Salt Concentration and PH on Soil, Its Impact In North Kabul

Abstract

The main point of this paper refer to assessment of Hydrogen Ions concentration
which call in abbreviation as pH in Northern Kabul city. The PH control and
assessment is very important issue, because its variation could be bring many
problems such as water and soil contamination and serious structure damages at
fundaments.
The hypothesis of this article is the assessment effect and finding relation
between salt concentration and its pH. The main goal is understanding factors and
comprehension of function mechanism of negative effects of PH on Soil and water
in studies area. Methods of assessment based on library report investigations of
different National and International organization such as USGS, JICA Water Quality
Assessments between 2009-2018 years in Kabul city and around region and Author
field investigation (2018-2020).
According to long term investigation and analyzing data and its correlation
found that the usage of Agricultural fertilizers such as Ammonium Phosphate and
Potassium Phosphate and sulfur reduce pH, vs adding Sodium Nitrate, Calcium
Nitrate and also animal's fertilizers increase Soil PH. Moreover, pH amount
increased with fertilizer usage and depth of soil profile. Shear strength of granular
soil increase with increase of pH value (Motiur, 2015).
