The purpose of this e seminar is to review the role of waste water reclamation and reuse for non potable applications in the context of efficient water use management for urban and peri-urban areas of Pakistan.
The use of urban wastewater in agriculture in Haroonabad, Pakistan and in many other cities, is an old practice that is becoming more important due to an increasing scarcity of fresh water resources. Farmers close to rapidly growing cities have a ready market for vegetables which require a reliable water source. This is provided by the abundant amounts of wastewater from these same cities. This research was carried out by a team of researchers from the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). The study focused on crop production in Haroonabad with the evaluation of the health impacts and economics of wastewater irrigated sites as compared to canal water irrigation system. The reclamation of wastewater is an important revenue matter for the local municipality who even auctions right of wastewater use in the area to the highest bidder regardless of the ownership of the land.
The e-seminar will discuss the conclusions of the IWMI study and its relevance to other cities in Pakistan with similar issues. Expected outcomes will be to give recommendations for further work as well as to review health impacts and how to reduce them using both treatment and non treatment options
