The influence of brackish artesian waters used for drip irrigation of gardens in the Sivash area of Crimea on the composition of salts and exchangeable cations of two soils located at different distances from Lake Sivash has been studied. Observations of the dynamics of mineralization and salt composition of irrigation water during three years (2019–2021) indicate that this water is neutral (pH 6.88–7.43) and slightly to moderately saline (1.5–3.4 g/L) with variable chemical composition of solub
