“…The important advantages of sewage irrigation are that it gives landowners a permanent supply of water while also adding organic matter and essential fertilizer to the soil. Additionally, around 30% of farmers globally rely on agriculture that uses wastewater for their livelihoods [8][9][10][11]. The typical result of sewage treatment, which is part of water regulation, is a convenient liquid waste product that can be used for irrigation with little risk to humans or the natural environment [12][13][14][15].…”

“…In sophisticated countries with environmental regulations in place, wastewater is evaluated before it is utilized for irrigation, but in other developing nations where the cost of treatment makes it prohibitively expensive, wastewater is frequently employed in agriculture untreated [14,16,17]. Various organic and inorganic materials, particularly heavy metals, can contaminate farmland as a result of improperly or insufficiently treated or untreated sewage [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. As a result, prolonged wastewater use may have a significant impact on the nature of the soil and the crops that grow there [22][23][24][25].…”

Numerous farmers regularly irrigate their farms with inadequately treated sewage water pumped from the sewage system in the Arab El-Madabegh district of Assiut City, Egypt. According to previous studies, long-term irrigation with partially treated sewage water resulted in significant changes in the physicochemical properties of soil. The principal goals of this study are (1) to infer empirical equations between geoelectrical resistivity measurements and certain biophysicochemical parameters of some soil samples, and (2) to use these empirical equations to calculate the biophysicochemical parameters of the unknown samples for the same location. For this purpose, 27 soil samples at different depth levels (0 to 25, 25 to 60, and 60 to 90 cm) were collected from eleven locations at the sewage station. Physical properties including water content and particle size distribution, chemical properties including soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and the heavy metals concentrations, biological properties including total coliform counts, and geoelectrical resistivity measurements were estimated and analyzed for these samples. Electrical resistivity measurements and biophysicochemical properties were cross-correlated using the exponential trend line to fit the cross-correlated data, and the empirical relationships were obtained. These empirical relationships in conjunction with the measured electrical resistivity measurements were used to calculate the biophysicochemical values of the other three random soil samples. The biophysicochemical values of the former three samples were measured by the same normal procedures as 27 samples. Then, the calculated values were correlated with the measured ones. Good correlations between the estimated and the measured values for biophysicochemical features were obtained. Therefore, this method can be employed to calculate the biophysicochemical parameters for any unknown samples that have the same geological conditions for estimating and monitoring soil contamination.
