| Popis: | The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of reusing urban treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation in the administrative district of Kerbala in Iraq. Water scarcity in this region has a negative effect on agriculture, especially irrigated agriculture, and the resulting reduction of arable land in the region is predicted to lead to problems with food production. One of the few guaranteed alternative sources of water under the current conditions is treated municipal wastewater. The study thus made a quantitative and qualitative analysis of existing water sources for the city of Kerbala for the period 2014 to 2019, as well as examining water consumption by the population during that period. The period-wide water shortage for irrigation of agricultural land was also determined, and a comprehensive assessment of the possibility of using treated wastewater from the treatment facilities of the town of Kerbala for irrigation purposes was thus developed. |
