Project Overview

Economic saving in the reuse of treated water for irrigation of University gardens and courts. The domestic wastewater treatment system (WWTP) is composed of the following units: pumping well No.1, pretreatment (sand trap and grease trap), treatment (aeration tank, sedimentation tank, oat tank and sieve) filtration (treated water storage tank and drying bed unit) and finally, a pumping well No.2. Treated waters are used in the irrigation of gardens and courts within the univ…

Economic saving in the reuse of treated water for irrigation of University gardens and courts. The domestic wastewater treatment system (WWTP) is composed of the following units: pumping well No.1, pretreatment (sand trap and grease trap), treatment (aeration tank, sedimentation tank, oat tank and sieve) filtration (treated water storage tank and drying bed unit) and finally, a pumping well No.2. Treated waters are used in the irrigation of gardens and courts within the university campus (30%) and discharged into an irrigation canal to the Lili River (70%).

Project Results

30% of the treated water is reused for irrigation in the gardens and fields of the university campus, equivalent to 1,559 m3/year.
