Guidelines for treated wastewater use for irrigation projects - Part 3: Components of a reuse project for irrigation

This document covers the system's components needed for the use of treated wastewater (TWW) for irrigation. Emphasis is placed on irrigation methods, mainly drip irrigation, as this method represents an efficient method of irrigation and water saving, while reducing the pollution of the crops. Despite the fact that water quality and filtration of treated wastewater (herein TWW) using drip irrigation are critical, open irrigation systems are more popular and are frequently used for irrigation with TWW and therefore are covered in this document.

This document covers issues related to the main components of a TWW irrigation project, including the following:

—    pumping stations;

—    storage reservoirs;

—    treatment facilities (for irrigation purposes);

—    filtration and disinfection;

—    distribution pipeline networks;

—    water application devices: irrigation system components and treatment.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
