Evaluation of Izmir Province Treated Municipal Wastewater as an Irrigation Water Sources
Abstract
In this study, usage possibilities of treated municipal wastewater for irrigation purposes was investigated. In this scope, the outlet water parameters of the Menemen, Kemalpaşa, Torbalı, Havza and Bayındır wastewater treatment plants were evaluated according to technical procedures of the Official Gazette of the Turkish Government, March 20, 2010, Issue 27527 and international guidelines for wastewater treatment plants compliance in terms of irrigation water quality criteria. Parameters were included pH, electrical conductivity (EC), basic cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+), basic anions (Cl-, SO42-, CO32-, HCO3-) and boron (B) during irrigation season. As a result, the outlet waters of Menemen Wastewater Treatment Plant exceeded the tolerance limit of many plants especially in terms of salinity. The outlet waters were not convenient using for irrigation purposes.
[...]
On the other hand, Kemalpaşa, Bayındır, Havza and Torbalı Wastewater Treatment Plant's outlet waters were possible to use for irrigation purposes.
