Farmer driven wastewater treatment: a case study from Faisalabad, Pakistan
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Alexandra E. Clemett, Jeroen H. EnsinkThe use of wastewater in agriculture provides, besides the obvious risks, also benefits to farmers. This paper presents
the case of Faisalabad where farmers used untreated wastewater even though effluent from the local waste stabilization
ponds was available. Untreated wastewater had a higher nutrient value and lower salinity as compared to effluent from
the WSP and its use resulted in a substantially higher farm income. An approach is therefore proposed in which farmers
and wastewater managers enter into dialogue to find mutually beneficial solutions to provide wastewater for agriculture
whilst minimizing health risks.
