Etude technico-économique des installations hydrauliques destinées à l’irrigation par la réutilisation des eaux usées épurées

Abstract

The reuse of treated wastewater is a voluntary and planned action that aims to produce additional quantities of water for different uses. In Algeria, the use of treated wastewater for the irrigation of agricultural land is still in the "embryonic" state and is only practiced on very small areas and often on an experimental basis. The main objective of this work is to know the regulatory framework governing the use of unconventional water from the Ain Témouchent wastewater treatment plant, its production capacities, the quality of the treated water at the outlet and the possibility of reuse in agricultural land irrigation. The results of this study present an ecological, environmental, and technical-economic advantage that can be exploited in controlled irrigation, for a specific type of crop which is cereals
