Treated municipal wastewater to fulfil crop water footprints and irrigation demand – a review

Direct application of raw municipal wastewater for irrigation purposes may create many undesirable harmful consequences. Therefore, treated effluent through different technologies is generally preferred for reuse especially in water-scarce regions. In the present study, the performances of some trea...
