How can I make sure that using the water from the river for irrigation won't cause any environmental damage?

Before using river water for irrigation, make sure that any contaminants such as bacteria, fungi and nutrients have been removed. Also check the pH levels of the water to ensure that it won't adversely affect the land. Testing should be done before and after to monitor any changes in soil fertility and water quality. Finally, avoid irrigating late at night when runoff can cause problems for nearby aquatic ecosystems or groundwater sources.

To ensure that using the water from the river for irrigation won't cause any environmental damage, you should assess the site where the water will be used to irrigate. The assessment should take into account soil type, topography, hydrology and local climate in order to determine how much water is needed and its likely affects on groundwater and neighboring surface waters. Regulations should also be taken into consideration, as there may be specific regulations about where, when and how much water can be used for irrigation.
