Abstract/Contents:In arid and semi-arid regions, the concept of irrigation with reclaimed water is increasingly attractive as shortages and costs of fresh water rise. Reclaimed water may be primary, secondary, or tertiary treated municipal or industrial waste water. Primary treatment removes organic and inorganic solids. Secondary treatment is a biological process in which complex organic matter is broken down into simple organisms which are then removed. Tertiary treatments provide a highly purified water. The following are factors that determine suitability of effluent for turfgrass irrigation: health consideration, seasonal and annual variation of reclaimed water, constancy of supply, soil factors, and irrigation system factors. Disadvantages of effluent water are: salinity, permeability (SAR), and toxic elements carried in the water. Advantages of effluent water are: water conservation, cost, and the reclaimed water's nutrient content. Irrigation with effluent water may be desirable for turfgrass due to the large uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash found in the water. They will also tolerate large amounts of boron without showing toxicity symptoms.
