ABSTRACT

With increasing global water scarcity and pollution of water bodies, agricultural water reuse is becoming more common [17]. Globally, agricultural water reuse is by far the largest water reuse application portfolio [16]. Existing literature from global and

country-level assessments that have been conducted show that wastewater irrigation systems are widespread, regardless of the development level and climate [21,35]. is literature shows that these systems are benecial as they increase agricultural production, especially that of high-value crops like vegetables, leading to high-income generation for farmers and others in the supply
