Lecture taken by Dr. Hadas Mamane, Faculty of Engineering and Water Research Center (TAU-WRC), Tel-Aviv University, Ramat Aviv,Israel. She discussed that wastewater reuse is one of the promising and most sustainable solutions to address global water scarcity. Wastewater reuse provides a major alternative to fresh water for the growing needs of water for food production. Soil-Aquifer Treatment (SAT) improves water quality during the percolation of treated waste water through unsaturated soil. However, the reclaimed waste water for irrigation is an important route for the introduction of organic compounds into the environment. Depletion of oxygen has been observed in the aquifer. Infiltrating more oxygenated water has been suggested to enable using artificial recharge system in a more efficient way and provide high quality water from waste water origin for reuse. She also apprised the students of research going on in this field, currently.
