The reuse of wastewater in irrigation is being practiced only
recently to solve water scarcity problems in agriculture.
Management of water, soil, crop, and operational procedures,
including precautions to protect farm workers, play an important
role in the successful use of sewage effluent for irrigation.
Appropriate water management practices must be followed to prevent
salinization. If salt is not flushed out of the root zone by
leaching and removed from the soil by effective drainage, salinity
problems can build up rapidly. Leaching and drainage are, thus, two
important water management practices to avoid salinization of
soils. One of the options that may be available to farmers is the
blending of treated sewage with conventional sources of water to
obtain a blended water of acceptable salinity level. This important
book focuses on the use of wastewater as a valuable resource for
agricultural micro irrigation purposes. It covers effective
wastewater management practices in a variety of climates, including
semi-arid regions and others; how to perform effective evaluations
to gauge the quality of the water on plants, including potatoes,
maize, and eggplant; and the cost-benefit of using wastewater. It
addresses the sources of wastewater for irrigation and the problems
along with challenges, including water quality, clogging, soil
quality, and more. The mission of this compendium is to serve as a
reference manual for professionals in biological and civil
engineering, horticulture, soil and crop science, and agronomy, as
well as for graduate and undergraduate students in related fields.
It will be a valuable reference for professionals who work with
micro irrigation/wastewater and water management, for technical
agricultural centers, irrigation centers, agricultural extension
services, and other agencies that work with micro irrigation
programs.
