Summary:Irrigation with reclaimed water from municipal wastewater treatment plants and wastewater from industrial sources is very widespread and socially acceptable. Increasingly, reclaimed water and wastewater are seen as important resources for water conservation. The design and operation of irrigation systems using these sources of water should take the constituents of the water into account. These constituents include nutrients and potential threats to human health and the environment. Nutrient balances to take the nitrogen and phosphorus content into account may be advisable. Irrigation with reclaimed water requires the use of separate distribution systems in urban environments.
