Summary A saline soil from Euphrates alluvium at Abu‐Ghraib was leached in two lysimeters with river water and the changes in composition of the soils and of the leachates were measured as well as the hydraulic conductivity. The results show that the presence of gypsum prevents the soils becoming sodic as leaching with irrigation water of favourable composition proceeds.
