Effect of irrigation with treated wastewater on soil chemical properties and infiltration rate

Wastewater and Magnetized Wastewater Effects on Soil Erosion in Furrow Irrigation

“…Significant reduction of the water infiltration rate caused by a seal formation was mainly attributed to the accumulation of suspended solids, and partially to clay dispersion and microbiological activity (BEDBABIS et al, 2014). Wastewater irrigation significantly affected soil K but not soil P and total soil N. Change of irrigation system can be causes different effects when using treated wastewater too: studies show that surface irrigation than subsurface irrigation significantly decreases soil EC, Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg) at depth of 0-15 cm (HEIDARPOUR et al, 2007).…”

Flow Hydraulic Investigation of the Wastewater on the Soil and Magnetic Field Effects in This Field

“…Thus infiltration rate and cumulative infiltration equations were determined by Eqs. 1, 2: Z , 1 Z = cumulative infiltration to " 2 t " and " 1 t " times respectively (using Eq. 2).The soil basic infiltration rate (f o ) was also calculated with Eq.…”

“…The reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture can be a sustainable solution to face water scarcity [1]. Irrigation with wastewater may have implications at two different levels: alter the physicochemical and microbiological properties of the soil and/or introduce and contribute to the accumulation of chemical and biological contaminants in soil.…”

“…However, depending on the origin and quality of the effluent, there are risks of soil and crops contamination by pathogens (Palese et al, 2009), as well as promoting salt accumulation, pH alteration and a decrease in soil infiltration rate (Bedbabis et al, 2014). On the other hand, in comparison to surface waters and/or groundwater, the use of wastewater in irrigation increases biomass production and improves crop productivity (Jang et al, 2012;Mojid et al, 2012).…”
