abstract population increase, limitation of water resources, and increasing volume of municipal wastewater, has caused the necessity of wastewater reuse. application of wastewater on soils seems to be the most economical method of its disposal and by percolating wastewater through the soil, its chemical quality is improved. for this purpose, a greenhouse experiment was carried out with polyethy...

because of water shortage in arid and semi-arid regions, reuse of wastewater and treated effluents for agricultural irrigation has become an essential matter now. while these kinds of water contain a lot of nutrients such as nitrogen, by using them we could be able to increase the soil fertility and decrease both the chemical nutrient consumption and the costs of agricultural production. howeve...

abstract recharge of aquifers by using wastewater, is one of the important and applicable ways for reusing this valuable water resource, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. as the necessity of local practices for finding the proper management strategies and optimum use of recharge systems (conforming to climate, soil, etc.), a preliminary study was carried out. three physical models were ...

The gender empowerment of communities and individuals in Ein Qinia village / Ramallah on the acceptance of wastewater treatment projects and treated wastewater reuse was studied. The gender acceptance was determined through whether or not trained focused women groups in treated wastewater reuse could be increased in reusing the treated wastewater in agricultural activities. Women showed a high ...

today as freshwater resources become scarcer, wastewater use is a major incentive option for conserving and expanding available water supplies. the aim of this research was to investigate the impact of normal irrigation water (well water), chemical fertilizer, and treated urban wastewater effluent on yield quantity and quality of broccoli under micro irrigation system. the accumulation of chemi...

The effect of municipal wastewater irrigation on the yield and quality of vegetables and crops was studied by means of pot and lysimetric experiments. The pots were seeded with lettuce salad, radishes, and carrots in all experimental years; the lysimeters were planted with early potatoes in 2005 and 2007, and with sugar beet in 2006. Secondary-treated wastewater (in 2005) or only primary-treate...

An attempt to use treated wastewater for agriculture in the Chiang Mai area was made, but the re-use process had to be performed under a condition that limited the risks liable to leave pathogens present in the water. The objective of our study was to examine the intestinal parasites and enteric bacteria in the wastewater and treated wastewater from the Chiang Mai University campus as well as t...

in addition to technical, economic and environmental factors, public acceptance plays an important role in successful treated wastewater reuse projects. the aim of this study is to evaluate yazd citizens’ awareness regarding water and wastewater issues and public acceptance towards wastewater reuse by questionnaire-type survey. for this purpose 250 questionnaires were distributed and filled out...

Wastewater consists of a complex mixture of substances. During wastewater treatment these harmful substances can be eliminated or degraded. However, persistent compounds released with the treated sewage effluents enter the environment and pose a risk to animal and human life. To determine the potential risks involved, screening tests are needed to monitor wastewater for potential toxic contamin...
