Interview R.P. Bartholomeus - Purified residual water for agricultur

“Irrigation helps combat drought in agriculture. Instead of scarce groundwater, an alternative water source can be used: the purified effluent from water treatment plants. However, this water still contains contaminants. This project investigated two aspects of reuse via ‘reverse drainage’: the dispersal of contamination in the soil and subsoil, and the purifying effect of the soil.”
