Contents Notes |
Sewage effluent as an agricultural water resource -- Agricultural value of sewage sludge -- Land disposal of liquid wastes, pollution abatement and effects on soil properties -- Sanitary aspects of waste water utilization -- Industrial, recreational, and other water reuse applications. The effluent and sewage sludge from municipal and industrial treatment plants is a source of water and nutrients for agricultural uses. Considering its potential, only a few instances of agricultural uses of waste water in crop production have been recorded. Most of the literature on this subject is by scientists in the sewage disposal field. This report brings together about 300 annotated references on the agricultural uses of sewage effluents and sludge. Such uses aid crop production, but also make use of water that would have been wasted, decrease the pollutant load on the receiving streams, and preserve the normal stream flow for downstream uses. |
