Abstract There is a proactive interest in recovering water, nutrients and energy from waste streams with the increase municipal wastewater volumes innovations resource recovery. Based on synthesis of data, this study provides insights into global regional “potential” as nutrient sources while acknowledging limitations current recovery opportunities promoting efforts to fast‐track high‐efficiency returns. The estimates suggest that, currently, 380 billion m 3 (m = 1,000 L) are produced...
Domestic wastewater (sewage) has been used for irrigation and aquaculture since the Bronze Age (ca. 3,200-1,100 BC) by prehistoric civilizations (e.g. Chinese, Egyptian, Indus Valley, Mesopotamian, Minoan). In historic times 1,000 BC-330 AD), was disposed of or fertilization purposes Greek civilization later Romans in areas surrounding cities Athens Rome). more recent history, practice land application disposal agricultural use utilized first European USA. Today, planning implementation...
Water Reuse: An International Survey of current practice, issues and needs examines water reuse practices around the world from different perspectives. The objective is to show how differently wastewater conceived practised as well present varied possibilities for reusing wastewater.In first section are described regions having common availability, social aspects. second refers "stakeholders" point view. Each purpose demands quality, not only protect health environment but also fulfil...

Many agricultural production areas worldwide are characterized by high variability of water supply conditions, or simply lack water, creating a dependence on irrigation since Neolithic times. The aim this paper is to provide an overview the evolution lands worldwide, based bibliographical research focusing ancient management techniques and ingenious practices their associated land practices. In Egypt, regular flooding Nile River meant that early agriculture probably consisted planting seeds...
The current world population of 7.6 billion is expected to reach 8.6 in 2030, 9.8 2050 and 11.2 210, with roughly 83 million people being added every year. upward trend size along an improved quality life are continue, them the demand for water. Available water human consumption development remains virtually same. Additional different pressures side on available resources (offer side), climate variability change apply further management resource. increase evaporation due temperature rise,...
Abstract The agricultural reuse of untreated, partially treated and diluted wastewater is a common reality in around three out four cities low-income countries. It practiced both dry wet climates, mostly as an informal activity. In several instances, raw used irrigation; the majority cases, however, discharged into water bodies thus form. main driving forces identified for growth this practice include general global scarcity freshwater resources contamination traditionally irrigation,...
A system was developed to identify and quantify up seven species of helminth eggs (Ascaris lumbricoides -fertile unfertile eggs-, Trichuris trichiura, Toxocara canis, Taenia saginata, Hymenolepis nana, diminuta, Schistosoma mansoni) in wastewater using different image processing tools pattern recognition algorithms. The three stages. Version one used explore the viability concept identifying through an system, while versions 2 3 were improve its efficiency. development based on analysis...
This paper explains how regulations and technology required for efficient safe reuse of wastewater in irrigated agriculture were developed, considering both farmers' needs health protection measures Mexico, where a significant amount municipal is reused agriculture. Instead nutrients organic matter as pollutants, new legislation was developed allowing them to be present appropriate concentrations wastewater, while pathogens, especially helminth ova, had removed prior reuse. Therefore,...
Millions of small-scale farmers around the world irrigate with marginal-quality water, often because they have no alternative. There are two major types water: wastewater from urban and peri-urban areas, saline sodic agricultural drainage water and groundwater. Around cities in developing countries, use wastewater from residential, commercial, industrial sources, sometimes diluted but without treatment. Sometimes farmers deltaic areas tailend sections large-scale irrigation schemes...
