Waste Management Using Trees: Wastewater, Leachate, and Groundwater Irrigation

Le résumé fourni par la source

Phytoirrigation provides a relatively inexpensive means of moving impaired water to a planted area or forest for treatment, greatly expanding the ways in which phytoremediation can be used. Irrigation systems can be used to apply water at the land surface or below to meet the requirements of treatment and for regulatory and public acceptance. Irrigation-system designs based on trees are particularly advantageous because of the high water use, deep rooting, and low operations and maintenance costs of tree systems. This chapter introduces the rationale for using trees with irrigation to manage contaminated water, identifies key limitations, describes example projects, and provides a general design guidance.
