Abstract |
This report presents the findings of a study on the long-term effects of applying treated domestic wastewater to farmland at Roswell, New Mexico. On the test site, a slow rate irrigation method was used for 33 years. Water, soil, and crop samples from this test site were compared with similar samples from nearby control sites irrigated with well water. Samples were also taken to detect viruses and coliform bacteria. Alkalinity and nitrate were the only parameters found to be significantly greater at the test site. Only one parameter, phosphorus, was significantly greater in the effluent, the upper soil profile, and the plant leaves of the test site compared to the control site. Soil analyses from six depths at different season indicated a rapid renovation of the wastewater. No viruses were detected in wells or plant sample, and coliform bacteria occurred only sporadically in early sampling results, possibly as a result of contamination during collection and processing. |
