"Milestones in Water Reuse: The Best Success Stories illustrates the benefits of water reuse in integrated water resources management and its role for water cycle management, climate change adaptation and water in the cities of the future. Selected case studies are used to illustrate the different types of water reuse, i.e. agricultural irrigation, golf course and landscape irrigation, urban and industrial uses, environmental enhancement ..."
"In most developing countries wastewater treatment systems are hardly functioning or have a very low coverage, resulting in large scale water pollution and the use of very poor quality water for crop irrigation especially in the vicinity of urban centres. This can create significant risks to public health, particularly where crops are eaten raw. Wastewater Irrigation and Health approaches this serious problem from a practical and reali ..."

"This compilation provides guidelines that facilitate the successful planning and operation of water reuse projects. Offering the information, analysis, and proven experience for agricultural and landscape irrigation, it bridges the gap between fundamental science and relatively uncharted areas of economic, institutional, and liability issues. It delivers a synthesis of information recently emerging in both science and in the practice of ..."

"These salts become concentrated in the drainage water that moves from the root
zone to the underlying groundwater after most of the irrigation water is returned to
the atmosphere via evapotraspiration, leaving the salts behind in the soil and
groundwater. This increases the TDS of the groundwater and causes
groundwater levels to rise until they eventually can damage underground pipes,
basements, cemeteries, landfills, old trees, et ..."
"Recycling of water has become an important aspect of water resources and environmental management policies. It ensures reliable alternative water resources, reduces pollution and achieves a more sustainable form of development. In view of recycling's growing importance it was no surprise that the 3rd International Symposium on Wastewater Reclamation, Recycling and Reuse, held in conjunction with the 1st IWA World Congress was among the ..."
