A Historical Review of Mechanized Irrigation Performance for Wastewater Reuse Projects in Humid Regions

摘要

This paper will focus on some select mechanized irrigation wastewater reuse projects in humid regions which were proposed and were not developed, were installed but later abandoned and projects which have been operating for ten years or more successfully. An analysis will be presented of what leads to success and to failure of mechanized irrigation wastewater reuse projects both in the short and long run. From the analysis a list of parameters will be discussed which are considered critical to a project’s performance. Municipal, industrial and agricultural projects will be included in the discussion.
