- Wastewater fertigation in agriculture: Issues and . . .
Increasingly degrading freshwater quality linked to overuse or lack of suitable treatment poses significant threats on the sustainability of water-intensive crops cultivation (Sidhu et al , 2019), since agricultural irrigation accounts for about 70% of global freshwater withdrawals (Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012)
- Global irrigation water demand: Variability and uncertainties . . .
