Biomass Production and Metal Remediation by Salix alba L. and Salix viminalis L. Irrigated with Greywater Treated by Floating Wetlands (2024)
Journal Article

As an alternative wood source for biochar and a cost-effective renewable energy source, sustainable biomass production based on fast-growing willows irrigated with treated wastewater has been explored. Salix alba L. and Salix viminalis L. were select... Read More about Biomass Production and Metal Remediation by Salix alba L. and Salix viminalis L. Irrigated with Greywater Treated by Floating Wetlands.

Assessment of capsicum annuum L. grown in controlled and semi-controlled environments irrigated with greywater treated by floating wetland systems (2021)
Journal Article

Accumulation of trace elements, including heavy metals, were evaluated in soil and fruits of chilli plants (Capsicum annuum L.) grown under both laboratory-controlled and semi-controlled greenhouse location conditions. Chilli plant biomass growth in... Read More about Assessment of capsicum annuum L. grown in controlled and semi-controlled environments irrigated with greywater treated by floating wetland systems.

Assessment of the effluents of Basra City main water treatment plants for drinking and irrigation purposes (2020)
Journal Article

A severe water scarcity challenge is facing Iraq, which is predominantly due to the absence of water management policies, negatively impacting the water quantity and quality provision from the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Moreover, these practices ha... Read More about Assessment of the effluents of Basra City main water treatment plants for drinking and irrigation purposes.

Impact of storage time on characteristics of synthetic greywater for two different pollutant strengths to be treated or recycled (2020)
Journal Article

Storage of greywater is controversial for environmental and health reasons. Artificial greywater was assessed after 2 and 7 days of storage time. Two different greywater pollutant strengths were statistically compared at each storage time. A negative... Read More about Impact of storage time on characteristics of synthetic greywater for two different pollutant strengths to be treated or recycled.

Biochemical performance modelling of non-vegetated and vegetated vertical subsurface-flow constructed wetlands treating municipal wastewater in hot and dry climate (2019)
Journal Article

Wastewater treatment and subsequent effluent recycling for non-drinking purposes such as irrigation contributes to the mitigation of the pressure on freshwater resources. In this study, two vertical sub-surface flow constructed wetland (VSSF-CW) pilo... Read More about Biochemical performance modelling of non-vegetated and vegetated vertical subsurface-flow constructed wetlands treating municipal wastewater in hot and dry climate.

Phytoremediation performance of floating treatment wetlands with pelletized mine water sludge for synthetic greywater treatment (2019)
Journal Article

Buckets containing floating reed ( ) simulated floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) and were used to improve the remediation performance of synthetic greywater (SGW). The aim of the study was to investigate the behaviour of FTWs for treatment of key co... Read More about Phytoremediation performance of floating treatment wetlands with pelletized mine water sludge for synthetic greywater treatment.

Contaminations of soil and two Capsicum annuum generations irrigated by reused urban wastewater treated by different reed beds (2018)
Journal Article

Background: In order to save potable water, this study aims to evaluate the contamination of soil and Capsicum annuum L. (chilli) watered with urban wastewater (sewage) pre-treated by various wetland systems.
Methods: The appropriateness of wetlan... Read More about Contaminations of soil and two Capsicum annuum generations irrigated by reused urban wastewater treated by different reed beds.

Recycling of domestic wastewater treated by vertical-flow wetlands for irrigation of two consecutive Capsicum annuum generations (2017)
Journal Article

Due to water scarcity, there is great interest in reusing various nutrient-rich wastewaters. The aim of this article is consequently to evaluate if domestic wastewater treated by various wetland systems can be successfully recycled to irrigate genera... Read More about Recycling of domestic wastewater treated by vertical-flow wetlands for irrigation of two consecutive Capsicum annuum generations.

Monitoring and assessment of treated river, rain, gully pot and grey waters for irrigation of Capsicum annuum (2016)
Journal Article

This study examines the benefits and risks
associated with various types of wastewater recycled
for vegetable garden irrigation and proposes the best
water source in terms of its water quality impact on crop
yields. The aim was to evaluate the us... Read More about Monitoring and assessment of treated river, rain, gully pot and grey waters for irrigation of Capsicum annuum.

Mineral and biological contamination of soil and Capsicum annuumirrigated with recycled domestic wastewater (2016)
Journal Article

Due to water scarcity in many arid countries, there is considerable interest in recycling wastewaterstreams such as treated urban wastewater for irrigation in the agricultural sector. The aim of this study isto assess the contamination of soil and Ca... Read More about Mineral and biological contamination of soil and Capsicum annuumirrigated with recycled domestic wastewater.

Experimental assessment of recycled diesel spill-contaminated domestic wastewater treated by reed beds for irrigation of sweet peppers (2016)
Journal Article

The aim of this experimental study is to assess if urban wastewater treated by ten different greenhouse-based sustainable wetland systems can be recycled to irrigate Capsicum annuum L. (Sweet Pepper; California Wonder) commercially grown either in co... Read More about Experimental assessment of recycled diesel spill-contaminated domestic wastewater treated by reed beds for irrigation of sweet peppers.

Microbial contamination of Capsicum annuum irrigated with recycled domestic wastewater treated by vertical-flow wetlands (2015)
Journal Article

Due to water scarcity in many arid countries, there is considerable interest in recycling various wastewater streams such as treated urban wastewater for irrigation in the agricultural sector. The aim was therefore to assess if domestic wastewater tr... Read More about Microbial contamination of Capsicum annuum irrigated with recycled domestic wastewater treated by vertical-flow wetlands.
