Abstract
Direct or indirect water reuse involves several aspects: contamination by faecal, inorganic and xenobiotic pollutants; high levels of suspended solids and salinity; rational use of the dissolved nutrients (particularly nitrogen). The challenge is to apply new strategies and technologies which allow for use of the lowest irrigation water quality without harming food safety, yield and fruit or derivatives of quality.
The EU project SAFIR aims to help farmers solve problems with low quality water and decreased access to water.
New water treatment devices (prototypes) are under development to allow a safe use of waste water produced by small communities/industries (≤2000 EI) or of treated water discharged into irrigation channels.
Water treatment technologies are coupled with irrigation strategies and technologies to obtain flexible, easy to use, integrated management.
