Keywords

  • Biofilms, gradual accumulation of biological deposit
  • Changes in pH or alkalinity of irrigation water-effect on solubility of scaling ions
  • Emitter clogging, irrigation efficiency in microirrigation
  • Emitter clogging, managed through control of TWW quality, filtration, emitter design, and appropriate operation and maintenance
  • Emitter efficiency restoration-nature of most permanent deposit, removal of scaling and biofilm layer
  • Fouling in microirrigation systems-and treated wastewater effluents
  • Major agrotechnical constraints-wastewater effluents in irrigation systems, fouling of pipes
  • Nitrogen and phosphorous species-dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and type of treatment employed
  • Qualitative and quantitative aspects-of clogging-related phenomena
  • Quality of treated effluents-source of irrigation water
