Study on the Effects of agriculture on water and soil quality in agricultural areas Bang Duan Subdistrict, Palian District, Trang Province The objective was to study the effects of agricultural activities on water quality in canals and soil quality in agricultural areas. Water and soil samples were randomly collected from 3 study areas and quality measurements were carried out according to the guidelines of the GLOBE project, including pH, temperature, transparency, and dissolved oxygen content in the water. Anchorage, pH and Soil Structural Characteristics The results of the experiment showed that the water quality in the canal had an acid-alkalinity (pH) value in the range of 6–7 The average dissolved oxygen value in water is between 6.67–12.17 milligrams per liter and the average transparency value is in the range of 35.9–77.5 centimeters, indicating that the water is of good quality and suitable for the life of aquatic organisms. Soil quality It was found that the soil in the agricultural area is loamy and sticky. The soil pH is in the range of 5–6, indicating a weak to moderately acidic soil condition that may be caused by the continuous use of fertilizers and agrochemicals. The results of this study show that agricultural activities have a greater impact on soil quality than water quality during the study period, and the data obtained can be used as a guide for soil and water resource management, as well as the promotion of sustainable agriculture in the area.
