1s7: Acceptance and quality assurance of safe irrigation water from municipal wastewater

Abstract

irrigation water supply for the greenhouse horticulture sector is under increasing pressure, which is exacerbated by effects of climate change. Hence, there is a need for alternative water sources for irrigation. In addition, a more general goal is to make water use more circular and to investigate the opportunities for reuse of wastewater in more depth. This includes a situation in which treated wastewater is reused as much as possible, to allow the most sustainable use. This comes together by using treated wastewater as an alternative irrigation source in greenhouse horticulture.
