About this product
Product Information
In most developing countries wastewater treatment systems are hardly functioning or have a very low coverage, resulting in large scale water pollution and the use of very poor quality water for crop irrigation especially in the vicinity of urban centres. This can create significant risks to public health, particularly where crops are eaten raw.Wastewater Irrigation and Health approaches this serious problem from a practical and realistic perspective, addressing the issues of health risk assessment and reduction in developing country settings. The book therefore complements other books on the topic of wastewater which focus on high-end treatment options and the use of treated wastewater. This book moves the debate forward by covering also the common reality of untreated wastewater, greywater and excreta use. It presents the state-of-the-art on quantitative risk assessment and low-cost options for health risk reduction, from treatment to on-farm and off-farm measures, in support of the multiple barrier approach of the 2006 guidelines for safe wastewater irrigation published by the World Health Organization. The 38 authors and co-authors are international key experts in the field of wastewater irrigation representing a mix of agronomists, engineers, social scientists and public health experts from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Australia. The chapters highlight experiences across the developing world with reference to various case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Mexico and the Middle East. The book also addresses options for resource recovery and wastewater governance, thus clearly establishes a connection between agriculture, health and sanitation, which is often the missing link in the current discussion on 'making wastewater an asset'.

'This book represents the best, modern innovative thinking on the topic and symbolizes an important turning point in the history of wastewater reuse in irrigation as a major contributor to water and nutrient conservation, public health and welfare.' Professor Hillel Shuval, Hadassah Academic College and Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel'This is a tremendously useful book with its clear focus on developing countries where wastewater treatment does not work. It is also a great resource for students.' Sasha Koo-Oshima, FAO, This book represents the best, modern innovative thinking on the topic and symbolizes an important turning point in the history of wastewater reuse in irrigation as a major contributor to water and nutrient conservation, public health and welfare.' Professor Hillel Shuval, Hadassah Academic College and Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel'This is a tremendously useful book with its clear focus on developing countries where wastewater treatment does not work. It is also a great resource for students.' Sasha Koo-Oshima, FAOThis book is likely to be of interest to decision makers, consultants and researchers who are looking for practical tools to improve the selection of wastewater management strategies particularly in countries of the global south, and where water scarcity is critical. The lively and informative style makes it an accessible and easy read...definitely a worthwhile investment.'Barbara Evans, Waterlines'The volume is successful in moving the state of knowledge beyond these basic perceptions and documenting methods for safe wastewater irrigation.'International Journal of Water Resources Development'This book provides great insights into appropriate solution development for anyone interested in closed loop or cradle-to-cradle design and presents an approach for how to apply these concepts to a complex and culturally sensitive topic.'Ecosystem Marketplace
