Elgallal, M., Fletcher, L., & Evans, B. (2016). Approach for Evaluating Wastewater
Reuse Options in Agriculture
This particular article has focused on the increasing issue of water scarcity in the semi-
arid countries. The rapid increase in water scarcity is thr3eatning to the globa; and sustainab;le
economic development. The increasing global population has posed a burden on the natural
resources of water and therefore, it is high time that people should think of reusing water. The
diminishing of water reserves is a major global issue and it is a matter of great anxiety for the
world population. Seventy percent of water resources have failed to meet up to the increasing
demand for water resources throughout the world. Global warming has also put a negative effect
by reducing the amount of rainfall and therefore, the countries even on the peninsular region
cannot access freshwater. In order to look out for positive solutions for sustainable wastewater
reuse, there is no effective research implemented on the health and environmental impact.
Therefore, this article was intended to focus on this gap by using suitable strategies and
alternatives which will be cost- effective as well as feasible.
Scott, C. A., Faruqui, N. I., & Raschid-Sally, L. (2004). Wastewater use in irrigated
agriculture.
In the book, ‘wastewater use in irrigated agriculture’, the attention is given in the use of
urban wastewater for agricultural purpose. It can be helpful in combating water scarcity in the
dry, arid and semi- arid desert regions of the world. Recycling of wastewater is also a cost-
effective method to conventional agricultural water. However, there are health hazards
associated with this process. This is because if there is any defect in the recycling procedure of
wastewater it might take a serious toll on the health of human beings. This particular book had
