Conversely, certain discharge points exhibited elevated conductivity and increased total dissolved solids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importantly, sodium adsorption ratios (SAR) in many samples were found to be low to very low, indicating limited immediate risk for soil structure degradation in irrigation scenarios, though further analysis is required for long-term evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From Measurement to Management<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond chemical analysis, the survey included consultations with local residents to understand current water usage patterns. These interactions provide valuable context for assessing practical water needs and future intervention acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2025 field survey, therefore, serves two purposes: technical characterisation of water quality and contextual understanding of local dependency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, these insights strengthen the project\u2019s capacity to design water management solutions that are not only technically sound but also socially relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The MWAZACO project is supported by the Czech Development Agency within the Czech Development Cooperation programme.
