“…Flushing is then incorporated as an additional tool to remove the biological and other precipitates. Trooien and Hills (2007) discuss other chemical control techniques that may be appropriate in some circumstances, particularly those that involve non-livestock effluents, such as municipal effluents that could contain pathogens harmful to humans.…”

“…Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) has been shown to be technically feasible with beef feedlot runoff effluent in Kansas State University research performed in western Kansas (Trooien et al, 2000;Lamm et al, 2002). The use of SDI with effluent has both advantages and disadvantages (Trooien et al, 2000;Trooien et al, 2002, Trooien and Hills, 2007. Potential advantages include saving fresh water for other uses, reducing groundwater withdrawal in areas of low recharge; providing a source of N, P, and K, for crop growth; reducing human contact with effluent; reducing odor and eliminating sprinkler aerial pathogen drift; eliminating effluent runoff into surface waters; subsurface placement of phosphorus-rich water reduces hazards of P movement into streams by surface runoff and soil erosion; increasing water application uniformity resulting in better control of the water, nutrients, and salts; reducing irrigation system corrosion; reducing weather-related water application constraints (especially high winds and freezing temperatures); increasing flexibility in matching field and irrigation system sizes, and better environmental aesthetics.…”

Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) can be successfully used for application of livestock effluent to agricultural fields with careful consideration of design and operational issues. Primary advantages are that exposure of the effluent to volatilization, leaching, runoff into streams, and humans can be reduced while the primary disadvantages are related to system cost and longevity, and the fixed location of the SDI system. An engineering study with beef feedlot effluent has indicated that driplines with discharge of 1.5 to 2.3 L/hr-emitter can be used successfully with little clogging. SDI tended to have greater corn yields and better nutrient utilization than low-energy precision application (LEPA) center pivot sprinklers when using swine effluent in a two-year field study.

“…Farmers in the outskirts of Gazipur use this water for irrigation during the dry (Boro) season. Since irrigation water enjoys some relaxation regarding its quality (FAO, 2003;Trooien & Hills, 2007), greywater irrigation can actually be a viable alternative to the traditional groundwater sources. Greywater irrigation can also ensure safe disposal (Thamsen, 2009) of poor quality water that is rich in nutrients.…”

Greywater is considered as a viable and alternative source of irrigation in many parts of the world. In Bangladesh, it is mainly the marginal farming community who use untreated urban greywater for irrigation. However, very few crop and soil specific investigations on greywater use have been carried out in Bangladesh. This study reports the results of two agronomic experiments carried out to quantify the effects of greywater irrigation on the production of two popular winter crops in Bangladesh i.e., mungbean and wheat. It also reports the status of the nutritional balance of soil due to greywater irrigation in two consecutive years i.e., 2012 and 2013. The experiment with each crop was conducted in random blocks replicating each of the six greywater treatments thrice. The results highlighted the fact that raw use of greywater was not beneficial for mungbean. On the other hand, second highest yield of wheat was obtained from the raw greywater treatment. Nonetheless, the highest crop yield was found when greywater (75%) was diluted with freshwater (25%) in a combined use. Crops irrigated with alum-treated greywater produced moderate yields. Considering the health risks associated with raw use of greywater, the alum-treatment of greywater appears to be a viable alternative to the farmers. It was found that unregulated use of greywater resource could lead to salinity problems in clayey loam soil. In particular, raw greywater irrigation was shown to be leading a buildup of P in the soil which could pose a potential environmental risk. This study recommends that crops good at up-taking phosphorus from the soil should be prioritized in greywater irrigation schemes.
