Policy interventions needed to manage bacterial build-up in municipal effluent irrigated agroforestry plantations
Mortality of total enteric bacteria, Escherichia coli, other coliforms and Salmonella spp. was monitored under municipal effluent irrigated agroforestry plantations via periodic field and in vitro studies. The results of the field study showed no significant differences among agroforestry systems in any of the monitored bacterial populations. Microbial populations were higher in summer (January ...

Minimizing health risks during secondary effluent application via subsurface drip irrigation
Health risks posed on consumers due to the use of agricultural products irrigated with reclaimed wastewater were assessed by numerical simulation. The analysis is based on defining of an Exposure Model (EM) which takes into account several parameters: (i) the quality of the applied wastewater, (ii) the irrigation method, (iii) the elapsed times between irrigation, harvest, and product ...

Seasonal ammonia losses from spray-irrigation with secondary-treated recycled water
This work examines ammonia volatilization associated with agricultural irrigation employing recycled water. Effluent from a secondary wastewater treatment plant was applied using a center pivot irrigation system on a 12 ha agricultural site in Palmdale, California. Irrigation water was captured in shallow pans and ammonia concentrations were quantified in four seasonal events. The average ammonia ...
