Wastewater composition and its treatment process

Abstract
In many arid and semi-arid countries, water is
becoming an increasingly scarce resource, and planners are forced to consider
any sources of water that might be used economically and effectively to promote
further development. At the same time, with the population expanding at a high
rate, the need for increased food production is apparent. The potential for
irrigation to raise both agricultural productivity and the living standards of
the rural poor has long been recognized. Whenever good-quality water is scarce,
water of marginal quality will have to be considered for use in agriculture. Although
there is no universal definition of 'marginal quality' water, for all practical
purposes it can be defined as water that possesses certain characteristics that
have the potential to cause problems when it is used for an intended purpose.
For example, brackish water is marginal quality water for agricultural use
because of its high dissolved salt content, and municipal wastewater is
marginal quality water because of the associated health hazards. From the
viewpoint of irrigation, use of a 'marginal' quality water requires more
complex management practices and more stringent monitoring procedures than when
good quality water is used.
