BookDOI
Improving Wastewater Use in Agriculture : An Emerging Priority
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the growing importance of improving wastewater use in agriculture across the spectrum from lower to high-income countries and present an innovative approach linking key issues related to different aspects of wastewater irrigation to a countrys level of economic development.
Journal ArticleDOI
A design equation for human intestinal nematode egg removal in waste stabilization ponds
TL;DR: The percentage removal of human parasitic nematode eggs in waste stabilization ponds can be described by the empirical equation R = 100 where θ is the mean hydraulic retention time (d) and the lower 95% confidence limit of this equation is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of norovirus infection risks to consumers of wastewater-irrigated food crops eaten raw.
Duncan Mara,Andrew Sleigh +1 more
TL;DR: A quantitative microbial risk analysis-Monte Carlo method was used to estimate norovirus infection risks to consumers of wastewater-irrigated lettuce, using the same assumptions used in the 2006 WHO guidelines for the safe use of wastewater in agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiological quality of fish grown in wastewater-fed and non-wastewater-fed fishponds in Hanoi, Vietnam: influence of hygiene practices in local retail markets.
TL;DR: Mean water quality in two wastewater-fed ponds and one non-wastewater-fed pond in Hanoi, Vietnam was approximately 10(6) and approximately 10 (4) presumptive thermotolerant coliforms (pThC) per 100 ml, respectively as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen removal via ammonia volatilization in maturation ponds.
M. A. Camargo Valero,Duncan Mara +1 more
TL;DR: Nitrogen fractions from the M1 influent and effluent showed that ammonia is removed by biological (mainly algal) uptake and total nitrogen removal by sedimentation of dead algal biomass and that ammonia volatilization was not the most important mechanism involved in either total nitrogen or ammonia removal.
