Abstract. In this paper, using the Analytic Hierarchy Process to establish the index system of agricultural circular economy in Jinan City. Evaluation of the Development Level of Agricultural Circular Economy in Jinan City from the Perspective of Development Potential, Development Demands and Development Behaviors of Agricultural Circular Economy, and discuss the influence of each factor on the development of agricultural circular economy. Based on the investigation of ecological behavior of rural farmers in Jinan, this paper analyzes the ecological behavior of peasants from two aspects: cognition of peasants in Jinan City and psychology of peasants, according to the results of the evaluation of the development level of agricultural cycle and the analysis of the farmers' ecological behavior in Jinan, the corresponding countermeasures are put forward.

“…Lopez et al ( 2006 ) showed that the microbial quality of treated effl uents in membrane fi ltration was higher than that of local well-water used for irrigation; after simplifi ed treatment, in order to save the agronomic potential of organic matter and nutrients present in urban wastewater, olive trees were irrigated with effl uents produced by skipping biological processes and this resulted in a yield increase of 50 % in storage reservoirs capacity; TSS, BOD 5 , COD and nutrients concentrations achieved the in-force Italian limits for wastewater agricultural reuse, and in constructed wetlands the values of TSS, BOD 5 , COD, total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) removals were 85 %, 65 %, 75 %, 42 % and 32 %, respectively. In Europe, Bixio et al ( 2006 ) inferred that technological innovation and the establishment of a best practice framework would help, but even more, a change was needed in the underlying stakeholders' perception of the water cycle.…”

The need for irrigated agriculture is growing day by day and the largest water withdrawals from renewable water resources are for irrigation. In addition, the available water resources are decreasing and we need to use non-conventional water resources for irrigation due to looming water crisis (Raschid-Sally and Jayakody, Drivers and characteristics of wastewater agriculture in developing countries: results from a global assessment. International Water Management Institute, Colombo, 35p, (IWMI Research Report 127), 2008). However, the volume of treating and using wastewater is limited due to the lack of adequate data and knowledge and/or negative effects of improper wastewater management (i.e. use of untreated wastewater). A comprehensive evaluation of what has been done is necessary in order to explore wastewater irrigation and to avoid trial-and-error policies. Although a study of wastewater irrigation from crops, soil, groundwater, health, irrigation equipments, modern technologies, and other environmental aspects is useful, management studies in comparison with other aspects can help lead to more reliable and more extensive fi ndings and fi nally a better decision on using wastewater for irrigation. The chapter presents challenges and prospects that may help decision making for the use of wastewater in irrigation.

Abstract:Proper water resources management involves the analysis and resolution of various optimization problems according to climate change effects on the availability and distribution of the resources themselves. Specifically, these conditions require the identification of new resource allocation optimization solutions capable of taking into account the water resource losses due to climate change scenarios. As is well known, Southern Italy is a region that is potentially very sensitive to climate change. In this paper, a 1717 km 2 area, corresponding to the province of Crotone, was analyzed as a study case. This area is characterized by a sufficient availability of resources as a whole as compared to the needs of the users, but has an unbalanced distribution of water through its various systems. After identifying water resource allocations in detail for this area, an optimization solution accounting for the expected reduced availability of water resources in the context of climate change was created and was compared with the optimization solution for current water availability.
