ABSTRACT
The technical and regulatory factors mainly include (i) the adopted guidelines and standards for wastewater treatment and reuse (WHO, 1989; USEPA, 1992; FAO, 1985; Abu Rizaiza, 1999; Angelakis et al., 1999), (ii) vulnerability of public health, aquifers, soil, crops, and irrigation equipment (WHO, 1989; Al-Salem, 1996; Haruvy, 1997; Shatanawi and Fayyad, 1996), (iii) reliability of storage, conveyance, and distribution of the reclaimed wastewater (Bahri and Brissaud, 1996; Friedler, 2001), (iv) effectiveness of the policy for pricing of freshwater and reclaimed wastewater and for agricultural-urban water transfer (MWI, 1999; Faruqui, 2000; Saghir et al., 2000; ONAS, 2001).
