Water-Food Nexus // Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture: A Workshop on Policy and Implementation for Iran
By Hiroshan Hettiarachchi, Reza Ardakanian, UNU-FLORES. Workshop proceedings. Growing population, decreasing rainfall, increased extraction of both surface and groundwater resources, and adoption of development-oriented approaches have impeded water supply for domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors in Iran. To make matters worse, contamination of water resources, through sewage, for instance, has deterred the supply of clean water. Safe use of waste water can be a practical solution to alleviate some of these issues.
