ABSTRACT

Water has a very important role in life because all living things in this world need water.
Plants and animals are mostly composed of water. Plant cells contain more than 75% water
and animal cells contain more than 67%. Less than 0.5% of water can be used directly for

purpose of this study was to determine the Talawaan irrigation water quality associated with
Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) in Talawaan District, North Minahasa Regency. Talawaan
irrigation water quality in Talawaan District includes SAR parameters in the Tertiary
Irrigation Channel (1) of 1.56 me / L and SAR in Tertiary Irrigation Channels (2) of 0.92 me /
