Water Reuse for Irrigation: Agriculture, Landscapes, and Turf Grass

Front Cover
Valentina Lazarova, Akica Bahri
CRC Press, 2004 M12 28 - 432 pages
This compilation provides guidelines that facilitate the successful planning and operation of water reuse projects. Offering the information, analysis and proven experience for agricultural and landscape irrigation, it bridges the gap between fundamental science and relatively uncharted areas of economic, institutional and liability issues. It delivers a synthesis of information recently emerging in both science and in the practice of irrigation with reclaimed water. The book compiles guidelines, recommendations and codes of best practices from around the world for all types of recycled water uses, and it examines recent concerns about adverse effects on plants, groundwater and public health.

Page 125 - Low-salinity water (Cl) can be used for irrigation with most crops on most soils with little likelihood that soil salinity will develop. Some leaching is required, but this occurs under normal irrigation practices except in soils of extremely low permeability.
Page 50 - Toxicity to plants varies widely, ranging from 12 mg/L for Sudan grass to less than 0.05 mg/L for rice.
Page 125 - Medium-salinity water (C2) can be used if a moderate amount of leaching occurs. Plants with moderate salt tolerance can be grown in most cases without special practices for salinity control.
Page 50 - Not toxic to plants in aerated soils, but can contribute to soil acidification and loss of availability of essential phosphorus and molybdenum. Overhead sprinkling may result in unsightly deposits on plants, equipment, and buildings.
Page 253 - And we do also declare natural divinations of diseases, plagues, swarms of hurtful creatures, scarcity, tempests, earthquakes, great inundations, comets, temperature of the year, and divers other things , and we give counsel thereupon what the people shall do for the prevention and remedy of them.
Page 58 - Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the Community action in the field of water policy...
Page 50 - Not toxic to plants at normal concentrations in soil and water. Can be toxic to livestock if forage is grown in soils with high concentrations of available molybdenum.
Page 51 - Toxic to plants at concentrations as low as 0.025 mg/1 and toxic to livestock if forage is grown in soils with relatively high levels of added selenium. An essential element to animals but in very low concentrations . Effectively excluded by plants; specific tolerance unknown.
Page 125 - High-salinity water (C3) cannot be used on soils with restricted drainage. Even with adequate drainage, special management for salinity control may be required and plants with good salt tolerance should be selected. "Very high salinity water (C4) is not suitable for irrigation under ordinary conditions, but may be used occasionally under very special circumstances.
Page 61 - The occurrence and concentration of pathogenic microorganisms in raw wastewater depend on a number of factors, and it is not possible to predict with any degree of assurance what the general characteristics of a particular wastewater will be with respect to infectious agents. Important variables include the sources contributing to the wastewater, the original purpose of the water use, the general health of the contributing population, the existence of "disease carriers...
