The application of treated wastewater for the irrigation of fast-growing trees - field experiments on constructed wetland
Original language description
Due to the progressive decrease in precipitation in the Czech Republic, the need for the irrigation of agricultural crops is steadily increasing. It is proposed that the problem of a lack of water resources might be partially solved via the reuse of treated wastewater in certain agricultural sectors. A semi-operated irrigation field was established at Hostětín vil. planted with willow cuttings. The plants were irrigated by means of two different water sources – wastewater from the local municipal treatment plant and local groundwater. During 2018 and 2019, we observed the significantly enhanced growth of the wastewater irrigated willows – biomass yield ( 6.6 and 31.3 t/ha) under wastewater irrigation conditions, while 1.0 and 1.8 t/ha was produced under fresh water irrigation conditions. The biomass quality was assessed via calorific values and net calorific values. This study confirmed the hypothesis that treated wastewater can be used if it does not endanger either public health or the environment.
