“…Alternative water sources include harvesting rainwater in wet periods for use in dry periods, potentially in storage tanks built into the building structure in the utility spaces. Further savings can be achieved by planting drought-resistant grass varieties or using subsurface drip lines (Taylor et al, 2006). The higher salinity of this water (6-18 dS m À1 ) can reduce soil water potentials and hence evapotranspiration, but CAM plants in their study responded by increasing water use efficiency.…”

“…Los desechos generados por estas actividades humanas empeoran de manera notable la calidad de los recursos hídricos. En ambientes semiáridos donde el agua es un bien escaso, la percepción que tiene la población sobre la salud pública, se basa en normas establecidas para reutilizar el agua residual (TAYLOR et al, 2006). Por lo general, estas pautas aconsejan intensos tratamientos aplicados a los efluentes para uso humano, sin embargo su reutilización con fines agrícolas por lo general es más laxo.…”

2 RESUMENEn la parte central del estado de Chihuahua (México) se encuentra la cuenca de drenaje que alimenta las lagunas endorreicas de Bustillos, y de los Mexicanos. Estos humedales de especial interés ambiental, se encuentran amenazados por una fuerte presión de actividades humanas. Para este trabajo se han planteado una serie de análisis químicos, físicos y microbiológicos, que determinan unos elevados índices de contaminación en estos hábitats acuáticos. Los resultados han mostrado bajos índices de oxígeno disuelto y elevadas concentraciones en nitratos y bacterias coliformes en el agua. Se ha detectado que las principales fuentes de contaminación de estos recursos hídricos son las actividades agropecuarias, los vertidos de aguas residuales de las áreas urbanas y, en mayor medida, por los desechos de los tratamientos industriales.Palabras clave: Humedales, contaminación hídrica, recursos hídricos, ambientes semiáridos, aguas residuales. WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS IN THE BUSTILLOS AND DE LOS MEXICANOS LAGOONS (CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO) ABSTRACTThe Bustillos and Mexicanos lagoons are located in the center of the state of Chihuahua (Mexico). These wetlands of special environmental interest are endangered by severe pressure from human activities. These wetlands of environmental relevance are endangered by severe pressure from human activities. This study has raised a series of chemical, physical and microbiological analyzes, which determine high rates of contamination in these aquatic habitats. The results showed in water low levels of dissolved oxygen and high concentrations of nitrate and coliform bacteria. Agricultural activities, wastewater discharges from urban areas and industrial waste has been identified as the main sources of pollution of these water resources.

“…Drip irrigation has several advantages over surface and sprinkler irrigation for agricultural use of reclaimed water (Li et al, 2010;Yan et al, 2010), including minimizing health risks (Bucks et al, 1979;Asano and Pettygrove, 1987;Beggs et al, 2004;Taylor et al, 2006; Beijing Municipal Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision (BMAQTS), 2010).

Filters are the most important components in micro‐irrigation systems, in particular for filtering high levels of suspended solids in reclaimed water. An experiment was conducted using reclaimed water to evaluate the removal efficiencies of sand filters with different uniformity coefficients (UCS) and in combination with sand filters with a 130 µm disc filter (120‐mesh). The treatment effects on emitter discharge were also investigated in this study. The results showed that the sand filters exhibited removal efficiencies of 11.4–48.0%, increasing to 30.7–80.3% when combined with the disc filter. The sand filter removal efficiency decreased with increase of the media diameter. A linear‐plateau relationship was observed between the removal efficiency and UCS. Compared to the control group, the combined filters reduced emitter clogging and significantly prevented a decrease in emitter discharge. It is suggested using the equivalent diameter, dt, to represent the filter medium diameter instead of using the effective diameter, de. The recommended value for the sand filter UCS > 2.0 for a mean total suspended solids (TSS) of 17.5 ± 12.7 mg l−1. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
