Abstract
Wastewater is predominantly utilized water discharged from municipal sewage water systems. Wastewater treatment is essential for the protection of public health and environmental quality. The effluent obtained after wastewater treatment is often utilized for irrigation. Attention has to be paid to various organic, inorganic, and microbial components in these effluents, since some are beneficial while others may adversely affect soil properties, crop quality and yield, or public health. These components in treated wastewater, regulations related to its utilization, and its potential desirable and adverse effects are discussed in detail.
