Abstract :

Background and Aims: Magnetic water technology is a topic that has been considered in the field of water and agriculture resources in recent years. One of the applications of magnetic water is soil remediation with minimal use of chemicals and acids. By applying a magnetic field, ordinary water can be turned into a liquid with special physical and chemical effects. Methods: In this research, using laboratory and simulation methods, the effect of magnetic water on soil remediation was investigated and an operational study was performed in this regard. Results: The results indicated that the specific heat and boiling point of magnetic water decreased and the amount of evaporation increased. Other properties including specific gravity, surface tension, viscosity, electrical conductivity, and solubility also changed. Applying a magnetic field increases the solubility of water and thus activates the nutrients in the soil, and then facilitating the dissolution of insoluble salts in the soil reduces fertilizer consumption by 50%. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of experiments on irrigation with magnetic water on different fields revealed that seed yield increased, and water consumption and pump cost decreased by 44%. Considering that water supply for domestic, industrial, agricultural, etc. is becoming more difficult year by year and imposes heavier costs on the government, the use of magnetic water technology and localization of its technology seem inevitable and could result in save in foreign currency.
