Climate change and the subsequent change in agricultural conditions increase the vulnerability of agricultural water use. Wastewater reuse is a common practice around the globe and is considered as an alternative water resource in a changing agricultural environment. Due to rapid urbanization, indirect wastewater reuse, which is the type of agricultural wastewater reuse that is predominantly pr...

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

The influence of the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field (CPGF) on groundwater quality of the close-by agricultural area was evaluated by means of chemical and isotopic determinations. According to irrigation standards, concentrations of As, Cd, Pb, Crtot, Cr(VI), Cu, Cd, Hg, B in agricultural wells showed the suitability of the water for irrigation. Iron was below irrigation limits in all but one we...

Twenty-three stream sites representing a range of forested, agricultural, and urban land uses were sampled in the South Platte River Basin of Colorado from July through September 2002 to characterize water quality during drought conditions. With a few exceptions, dissolved ammonia, Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorus, and dissolved orthophosphate concentrations were similar to seasonal historic...

water is one of the most valuable natural resources in human societies which is demanded by different parts of the society, and as one of the main inputs of production in agriculture has a special role in the agricultural sustainable development. nowadays, the consumption of water is more than the supply, and its highest consumption is in agriculture. this study scrutinized the role of manageme...

Water stress in Northern China is characterized with major, inefficient irrigation water use and rapidly growing non-agricultural water demands, as well as limited water quantity and declining water quality. Water use in the region is undergoing transfer from agricultural to municipal and industrial sectors. Currently, part of the economic loss and environmental damage due to water stress can b...
