| Abstract | The problem of saline drainage effluent disposal has been tried to tackle by using desalination technique. For this purpose, and irrigated area in Salinity Control and Reclamation Project (SCARP-II) is studied to measure benefits associated with desalinated irrigation water. Drainage effluent from the tube wells having a concentration of 5300 ppm is assumed treated by multistage Flash Distillation process. Cost analysis of the process is done. Benefits associated with crop yields are estimated. Crops with existing cropping pattern in the area and with assumed patterns are used to estimate benefits. High value crops are considered for the assumed cropping patterns. Water supply and brine disposal costs are furnished to determine the overall cost of the project. benefits exceed costs in one out of five instances. |
