| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of wastewater for irrigation purposes. Explains that an increasing population increases demand for freshwater and as a result, "there is an obvious need to consider water conservation and the use of alternative water sources for landscape irrigation." Highlights potential advantages of using wastewater for irrigation, including: "conservation of freshwater, that would be used for irrigation, [supplying] small amounts of nutrients to enhance plant growth every time the site is watered, and a reduction of pollutant (phosphorus and nitrogen) discharge into surface water." Mentions potential hazards in using wastewater for irrigation, including "salt injury to plants, [and] long term effects on soil health." |
