<p>Arid and semi-arid regions present unique opportunities to explore how irrigation water quality interacts with diverse soil characteristics. This study assesses interactions between irrigation water quality and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K_S) as well as soluble and exchangeable phases within the soils in western Iran. Twenty disturbed soil samples from agricultural lands were poured into three replicates up to a height of 10&#xa0;cm inside glass columns, then leached with three solutions classified as C3S1, C4S3, and C4S4 for up to 20 pore volumes. The pH, electrical conductivity (EC), sodium absorption ratio (SAR), and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) increased in soils after leaching with these three solutions, while the levels of exchangeable Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ decreased. Increasing the SAR of the leaching solutions did not decrease K_S in the study soils because the EC levels of these solutions increased simultaneously. Clay content, organic matter (OM), cation exchange capacity (CEC), along with exchangeable Ca²⁺ and Mg2⁺ negatively correlated with K_S. However, sand exhibited a positive correlation with this parameter. Soils containing higher amounts of clay, OM, and CEC were less affected by sodification. Following leaching with different solutions, sandy loam textural class displayed the highest ESP values. As a result, it was found that soil texture plays a significant role in altering the ESP and K_S values in arid and semi-arid soils. Therefore, attention should be given to soil texture when using poor-quality irrigation water.</p>
