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...

to study the effects of zabol wastewater treated with two kinds of fertilizer (manure and chemical fertilizer) application vs use of ordinary water on grain yield and yield components in corn (kosc704) a field experiment was conducted at the university of zabol, iran during 2007 growing season. the statistical plan selected was a split plot one of three replications. the treatments were compris...

This review on Sustainability covers selected 2015 publications on the focus of Sustainability. It is divided into the following sections : • Sustainable water and wastewater utilities • Sustainable water resources management • Stormwater and green infrastructure • Sustainability in wastewater treatment • Life cycle assessment (LCA) applications • Sustainability and energy in wastewater industr...

This study quantifies the regional distribution of the micropollutant benzothiazole (BT) in river water by sampling 15 river sites in the Schwarzbach watershed (about 400 km(2)) from November 2008 to February 2010. Additionally, wastewater samples from three municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Germany were analyzed. BT was detected in all wastewater influent and effluent samples as...

textile wastewater contains substantial pollution loads in terms of chemical oxygen demand (cod), biological oxygen demand (bod), total suspended solids (tss), total dissolved solids (tds) and heavy metals. phytoremediation used for removing heavy metals and other pollutants by aquatic macrophytes treatment systems (amats) is well established environmental protective technique. a lab scale stud...

decolorization of aqueous solutions containing ionic dyes (reactive blue 19 and acid black 172) by a tfc commercial polyamide nanofilter (nf) in a spiral wound configuration was studied. the effect of operating parameters including feed concentration (60-180 mg/l), pressure (0.5-1.1 mpa) and ph (6-10) on dye removal efficiency was evaluated. the response surface method (rsm) was utilized for th...

The disparity between volume of wastewater generated and treated has resulted in severe water pollution and eutrophication of the water bodies in most Indian cities. Constructed wetlands (CWs) present a low-cost wastewater treatment option; however, field scale studies with real life wastewater are limited. Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), Typha latifolia (Typha) and Pistia stratiotes (wa...

During the last two decades, and particularly during the last few years, the environmental sector has shown a largely growing interest in the treatment of different types of water and wastewater by electrocoagulation (EC). The aim of this work was to review studies, conducted mainly during 2008-2011, on the wide and versatile range of feasible EC applications employed in the purification of dif...
