In order to preserve the quality of water masses and reduce the deterioration of the natural environment, alternative water supplies should be required. The reuse of treated wastewater seems to be a good alternative in agriculture. Our study focuses on the characterization of the physico-chemical effluents (pH, EC, Turbidity, SS, COD, and BOD 5 ) in treated wastewater of M'zar plant in Agadir during one-year cycle. It aimed to study the evolution of these parameters over five years since 2006 in compliance with discharge standards in the natural environment and concerning the safety of water for irrigation. It has been shown that the quality and quantity of wastewater depends essentially on the amount of water consumed by the population, the intensity of industrial activities and tourism according to the seasons. The removal percentage of particulate pollution and oxidizable parameters already mentioned were very satisfactory and range from an average of (97 to 99%). The rate of the Electrical Conductivity (EC) does not change between input and output of plant. The treated wastewater characterized by a high EC (between 3 and 4 dS/m) and it can be a problem for reuse in irrigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
