Hydro-physical, Hydrophobicity and Chemical Characterization of Drip Irrigated Soil Using Aquaculture Wastewater under Sweet Pepper/Okra Intercrop

Mitigating risks and maximizing sustainability of treated wastewater reuse for irrigation

“…Pore clogging can result from suspended solids in TWW ( Vinten et al., 1983 ), increased microbial growth due to the presence of labile organic carbon ( Vandevivere et al., 1995 ), and accumulation of dispersed clay material ( Shainberg and Letey, 1984 ). Alteration of the soil wetting properties and subsequent development of hydrophobicity has been associated with the coating of soil particles with TWW-derived DOM, which impedes hydraulic conductivity and can lead to preferential flow ( Adabembe et al., 2022 ; Liu et al., 2019 ).…”

A Review of Sustainable Pillars and their Fulfillment in Agriculture, Aquaculture, and Aquaponic Production

“…There are two different designs of aquaponic systems; the most common is the recirculating system [105], in which nutrient-rich water resources from fish production run in a circle-loop layout between the fish culture area and the plant production bed [151]. Less well-known is an open aquaponic system with combined soil-based plant cultivation, which consists of an aquaculture production system using aquatic wastewater for soil irrigation to foment plant production [152]; this system is also known as a wastewater irrigation system [153,154].…”
