The significance of wastewater application in agriculture is increasingly recognized, as the irrigation sector strives to reduce its dependence on freshwater. This comprehensive volume explores wastewater as a valuable resource for agricultural irrigation, addressing the pressing need to conserve freshwater in agriculture. The book is organized into four sections:

Current and Emerging Issues in Wastewater Use in Agriculture: This section delves into the challenges and opportunities associated with wastewater use in agriculture, including regulatory considerations, technological advancements, and economic implications.

Wastewater Management with Biological Systems: This section focuses on the use of biological systems, such as wetlands and biofiltration, for wastewater treatment and management. It discusses the design, operation, and maintenance of these systems, as well as their effectiveness in removing pollutants and improving water quality.

Effective Field Practices for Wastewater Use: This section provides practical guidance on implementing effective field practices for wastewater use in agriculture. It covers topics such as irrigation scheduling, soil and crop management, and nutrient management to optimize the use of wastewater and minimize its environmental impact.

Case Studies: This section presents case studies that provide detailed information on scientific analytical studies on the environment under the influence of wastewater quality from different pollution sources. These studies shed light on the environmental benefits and challenges associated with wastewater irrigation.

This book not only highlights the vast potential of wastewater use in agricultural irrigation but also emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety of agricultural products for human consumption. It addresses the technological aspects necessary for treating wastewater to protect the environment and promote better public health protection. By exploring the intersection of wastewater application, agricultural practices, and environmental sustainability, this book offers valuable insights for professionals, researchers, and policymakers involved in the field of agriculture and wastewater management.
