First paragraph: Water that is intended for agricultural uses but in some way endangers agricultural activity can be defined as unsuitable water. Natural waters are defined as polluted when they become unsuitable following the addition of substances other than those normally present. The use of water of less than optimal quality for irrigation introduces various kinds of risk (agronomic, sanitary, and environmental) and can produce damage of direct and indirect types, depending on the form of pollution involved (see Fig. 5.76; [13]).
