In water-scarce areas of the Middle East, greywater (household
wastewater excluding toilet waste) is commonly used by poor
communities to irrigate home gardens. This both supplements the
water available to the household and improves food security. This
book draws together material presented at a conference in Jordan in
2007, and examines the technical approaches to treating and using
greywater for irrigation, including its associated risks to health
and the environment. It discusses many of the non-technical issues
that influence effectiveness and sustainability of greywater use.
It also takes a hard look at economic issues, arguing that more
clarity and consistency from policymakers is essential if
low-income, water-stressed communities are to make better and safer
use of their existing water supplies. The book concludes by
offering suggestions for where donor efforts and research could
best be focused in the near future.Greywater use in the Middle East
is important reading for researchers, donors, implementing
agencies, and policymakers, in the fields of water supply, water
reuse, livelihoods and agriculture.
