Potential and limitations of wastewater reuse in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
Jordan represents a typically water constrained economy that is daily confronted with decisions on its water use. With a fast growing population and an expanding agricultural sector, the demand for alternatives of fresh water resources remains imminent. An important strategy for the Jordanian government is to meet the water demand for agricultural sector by producing more treated wastewater. In this paper characteristics of wastewater for WWTP Al-Baq’a, for example, weres introduced. Characterization of wastewater was evaluated in terms of measuring chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, total suspended solids, for the influent and effluent from the plants. The performance of the wastewater treatment plants was evaluated and the quality of the reclaimed wastewater was compared with Jordanian Standards to determine its suitability for reuse.<br/><br/>
