Formation and prevention of biofilm and mineral precipitate clogging in drip irrigation systems applying treated wastewater
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Irrigation Science"
DOI: 10.1007/s00271-018-0581-0
Abstract: Pressure-irrigation systems and, in particular, micro-irrigation provide an effective methodology for increasing irrigation efficiency. However, emitter clogging is a major problem in micro-irrigation systems, especially under irrigation with treated wastewater (TWW). Currently, farmers treat their… read more here.
