Abstract

In this research, the use of waste water produced
after treatment for irrigation purposes was investigated. Clean water resources
in our world are gradually decreasing and water scarcity is experienced in some
countries. For this reason, people turned to domestic water obtained after
treatment. In order to meet the water needs of plants, clean water resources are
needed. The use of potable water instead of drinking water for this purpose
provides a large amount of savings. In this sense, the quality of the water
used is very important. Treatment waters must have certain criteria for use in
agricultural irrigation. Criteria for wastewater from conventional activated
sludge; AKM, BOD and total nitrogen value less than 1 mg / L, the COD value
should be less than 2. Ammonium value should be maximum 0.1 mg / L, total
phosphorus value should be 0.5 mg / L (Çevre
ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı). It is desirable to infect plants with any harmful
substances from outside. For this reason, continuous analysis of the water used
should be controlled.
