  2. Given our context, waste water is not segregated by industrial or household effluents. It all just flows into unbelievably stinking dirty nullahs. Even after treatment if this water is used in agriculture, the crops get a smell. It is not particularly healthy. At best the treated waste water could be used for horticulture - u know like forestry, gardening etc. or construction, cleaning etc. - anything that is not edible.

  3. hi renuka, water quaity is most important than water rersources. when we use water for irrigation then water quality is must other wise re use water will be very harmful for human being and agriculture.we are also using industrial waste water for irrigation. but we are following 100% usp water guidelines. we have nabl accredited lab.they check waste water daily basis. biological treatment is the best option for re use water. but it is too costly system so mostly industries use chemical treatment system.

  4. Drip irrigation practices offer the opportunity of spot irrigating and fertilizing when using wastewater, often utilizing a third of the water used in conventional irrigation practices. Drip irrigation also offers the added benefit of minimizing the contact of the wastewater and the crop, decreasing the likelihood of contamination. In cases of salt-tolerant crops, brackish water can be used in localized irrigation schemes. Drip irrigation infrastructure can be manufactured from existing local products, such as using porous ceramic containers or pipes with holes in which water is dripped onto the soil above the root zone only.

    1. hello Shaminder, i liked the concept of drip irrigation. I agree with your proposal for creating drip irrigation infrastructure from existing local products.

    2. Drip irrigation -- well much noise is made about it but it is a high maintenance method as the pores get clogged and need regular cleaning etc. and it often gets abandoned after a year or two of use plus it is difficult t lay the infrastructure each time cropping is done. However I really like your idea of using pipes with holes - simple ad practical. I think this should be implemented everywhere. Porous ceramic containers is also good. I also came across a method used somewhere in Rajasthan of underground irrigation where water seeps out of clay pots buried under ground. So no evaporation loss and roots get hydrated/ nourished in the appropriate manner.

  5. First of all cropping pattern should be in accordance to the local ecological setup. We should revisit the agricultural history of any area before giving the inputs to understand better utilization of available resources which is generally lacking. If any change is done then go for "layer planning" of plantation before the waste water is being used for main crops. The plant species could be used to treat waste water to some extent so that the contaminants could not be entered in food chain. Detail planning could be discussed as per the objective and studying local natural setup.

  6. Hi Renuka, It depends on the source of the waste water as mentioned above domestic water is easier use for irrigation than industrial water which contains lot of nano particles whose long term effects on crops is still somewhat unknown. It is better to use treated waste water where human contact is minimum. Few water companies even sell this water to the farmers. I suggest you to read about "Tula Valley" in Mexico where they have been using waste water for irrigation with very good results along with a few health problems for the people living in this area.

  7. Français -Anglais Toute réutilisation d'eau usée en provenance de l'industrie est dangereuse par tous les micros polluant chimiques qu'elle speuvent contenir. Par contre la revalorisation des eaux usées domestiques c'est beaucoup plus simple. il faut des eaux usées d'un assainissement individuel. Ces eaux usées non polluées par des micros polluant chimiques, subissent un traitement d'épuration Biologique. le reliquat d'eau rejeté, biologique, sert à l'arrosage immédiat du jardin potager. Ceci se fait par l'intermédiaire du concept d'Assainissement Biologique de Lyseconcept qui met en place une structure de traitement qui ne transforme pas les excréments en boue, il les réduit et les élimine tout en produisant une eau fertilisante et enrichissante pour la terre végétale Any reuse wastewater from industry is dangerous by all polluting chemical microphones that contain DISCLAIMERS. As against the revaluation of domestic wastewater is much simpler. it takes an individual wastewater sanitation. These non-polluted wastewater by chemical pollutant microphones undergo Biological sewage treatment. the water remaining rejected, biological, serves the immediate watering the vegetable garden. This is done through the concept of Biological Remediation Lyseconcept which sets up a processing structure that does not transform feces into mud, reduces and eliminates while producing a fertilizing and enriching water topsoil
