Groundwater is an important source for a drink and irrigation in the Blinaja river basin. Understanding knowledge of water quality critical to management long-term productivity. Historically this study area there no data information regarding use needs. Therefore, was need assess based on analysed from eight sampling points. The purpose paper evaluate, relying analytical results, groundwater basin its agricultural crops. For purpose, River Basin different months during 2015, 2016, 2018 2019, 28 samples were taken irrigation. Water laboratory some key indicators; pH, EC, hardness (TH), Ca, Mg, Na, K, HCO3, SO4, Cl, etc. then indices calculated such as: percentage Na (% Na), SAR (Sodium Adsorption Ratio), PI (Permeability index), KR (Kelly's ratio), overall objective be used by inhabitants Analytical procedures determinations have been given several publications (USDA Handbook 60 Richards, 1954; FAO Soils Bulletin 10 Dewis Freitas1970; APHA 2005).
