RECYCLING REALITIES: MANAGING HEALTH RISKS
TO MAKE WASTEWATER AN ASSET
Irrigation with polluted water
or wastewater is a widespread reality, especially in low-income
countries. Yet many policymakers are unaware of the significance
of the practice and the benefits it can bring. Nor do they know
that practical recommendations are now available to make wastewater
use safer and more sustainable without relying on expensive treatment
technologies alone. These approaches tackle the problem from many
angles, over the short, medium and long term, and accord with new
World Health Organization guidelines.
