@@ Line 444: / Line 422: @@
 Some irrigation methods, especially surface irrigation can lead to high soil salinities, since almost all water (even natural rainfall) contains dissolved salts. When the plants use the water or when the water evaporates to fast, salts are left behind in the soil and begin to accumulate. This process can have detrimental effects on plant growth and yield.

 '''Solar-Powered Pumps for Improved Irrigation in Honduras, Nepal and Zambia''': [http://www.ideorg.org/ iDE’s]&nbsp;Clean Irrigation Solution (CIS) can compete with fossil fuel pumps both in terms of cost and enhancing agricultural productivity. CIS’s universal piston pump can run on a variety of power sources (solar steam power, photovoltaic power, and grid-connected alternating current (AC) where available). The system accesses groundwater from deeper depths than conventional pumps, and maintains a slow, steady discharge rate. iDE will work with local businesses to sell and service the CIS. Recently, field testing of pumps have been started in Nepal.
