pH It is defined as the negative common logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions [H + ] in moles/liter: pH = -log 10 [H + ]. The concentration of hydrogen ions is commonly expressed in terms of the pH scale. Low pH corresponds to high hydrogen ion concentration and vice versa.

a Pourbaix diagram, also known as a potential/pH diagram or Eh/pH diagram. The diagrams are named after Marcel Pourbaix (1904–1998), the Russian-born chemist who invented them. In sedimentary environments the concept of geochemical facies is best illustrated on an Eh-pH diagram, a diagram delineating the stability field of certain minerals in terms of the proton concentration (pH) and electron concentration (Eh). Eh and REDOX: the ability of an environment to supply electrons to an oxidizing agent, or to take up electrons from a reducing agent.

Specific conductance (SpC) is a measure of the concentration of soluble salts in solution. Conductance is also a readily available field test which enables a worker to compare a new sample with previously analyzed samples quickly and easily. Irrigation Recommendations
Alkalinity (AT) is a measure of the ability of a solution to neutralize acids to the equivalence point of carbonate or bicarbonate.
