New methodical way for sustainable farming systems using treated sewage water in irrigation in Jordan
Most scientific approaches in research are done under objectified, controlled conditions. Such experiments do not reflect the everyday reality of farmers. Moreover, experimental research in agriculture does not always reflect the interests of Jordanian farmers. Another type of research is therefore needed. We need research that integrates Gamma and Beta sciences, farmers and scientists and the ...

Significance to human health of carbamazepine detected in fruits and vegetables irrigated with recycled water
The relevance and significance of the findings of chemicals of emerging concern at nanogram concentrations in recycled water is critically important for the consumers of these crops. The relevance and significance of these chemicals at these concentrations is placed in perspective in terms of the number of years of consumption necessary to accrue one acceptable daily intake every day, over a ...

Water reuse through subsurface drip irrigation systems
Water reuse in Hawaii has been primarily relegated to agricultural irrigation and irrigation of golf courses and other large landscaped areas. The continuing effort to conserve and preserve potable water resources emphasizes using alternative water sources for irrigation. Agriculture, golf courses, highways, parks, playgrounds and cemeteries are among the heaviest users of irrigation water due to ...

Reuse: Agriculture
Agronomic and water quality considerations Water use for agricultural irrigation is the largest component of water use in most countries and is more than 70% of human water use in drier countries. Use of recycled water for irrigation requires consideration of soil types, groundwater levels, soil and water chemistry, nutrient loads, limits on chemicals, the salt tolerance of crops, the ...

Accumulation of contaminants of emerging concern in food crops, part one: Edible strawberries and lettuce grown in reclaimed water
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) present in domestic waste streams include a highly diverse group of potentially biologically‐active compounds that can be detected at trace levels in wastewater. Concerns about potential uptake into crops arise when reclaimed water is used in food crop production. The present study investigated how nine CECs in reclaimed water are taken up into edible ...

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 ...

Irrigating with reclaimed water through permanent subsurface drip irrigation systems
ABSTRACT In Hawaii, reclaimed water has been used in agricultural irrigation and the irrigation of golf courses and other large landscaped areas. However, the Hawaii Department of Health's new "Guidelines for the Treatment and Use of Reclaimed Water" published in November 1993, limits uses of reclaimed water through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems. The subsurface drip irrigation concept ...

Recent Papers on Water Reuse in Irrigation and Agriculture
The long-term goal of this research is to develop the infra-technologies to reclaim effluents from wastewater treatment plants and reuse them for agricultural water demands. The objectives of this were: 1) to study the effects of various wastewater treatment levels on crop growth and yields; 2) to determine the pollution loads from wastewater ...
