Agricultural Irrigation Using Municipal Effluent, Charles M. Burt
Agricultural Irrigation Using Municipal Effluent, Charles M. Burt
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
The paper describes the development of a design and management plan for disposing of secondary effluent originating in the urban communities. It highlights the differences in approach that a public utility must take, versus a typical agricultural irrigation application. Costs and requirements for municipal effluent irrigation are many times greater. The complexity of regulations and agency procurement procedures relegates the actual irrigation system design to a relatively small role in the total project.
