The increasing water scarcity and water pollution control efforts in many countries have made treated municipal and industrial wastewater a suitable economic means of augmenting the existing water supply, especially when compared to expensive alternatives such as desalination or the development of new water sources involving dams and reservoirs. Water reuse makes it possible to close the water cycle at a point closer to cities by producing “new water” from municipal wastewater and reducing wastewater discharge to the environment.
An important new concept in water reuse is the “fit-to-purpose” approach, which entails the production of reclaimed water quality that meets the needs of the intended end-users. In the situation of reclaimed water for irrigation, the reclaimed water quality can induce an adaptation of the type of plant grown. Thus, the intended water reuse applications are to govern the degree of wastewater treatment required and, inversely, the reliability of wastewater reclamation processes and operation.
The objective of this course is to provide delegates with the comprehensive understanding on how to implement the Guidelines for treated wastewater use for irrigation projects based on BS ISO 16075-1:2015 to ensure that the system in the organization is structured in accordance with standards rather than individual practices.
Course benefits
- Meticulous monitoring of treated wastewater quality to ensure the system functions as planned and designed.
- Design and maintenance instructions of the irrigation systems to ensure their proper long-term operation.
- Compatibility between the treated wastewater quality, the distribution method, and the intended soil and crops to ensure a viable use of the soil and undamaged crop growth.
- Compatibility between the treated wastewater quality and its use to prevent or minimize possible contamination of groundwater or surface water sources.
Who should attend?
- Project managers.
- Environment managers.
- Those looking to understand the benefits of treated wastewater use for irrigation projects concept and framework.

Further information
Prerequisites: Delegates are expected to have general knowledge about the principle of plan, do, check, act (PDCA) cycle in a management system.
There is no formal delegate assessment for this course. On completion, you’ll be awarded an internationally respected BSI Training Academy certificate.
Our high impact accelerated learning approach increases learning by improving knowledge retention and skill application. This course is activity-based, resulting in a deeper understanding of the material and a greater impact on job performance.
Detailed course notes are provided.
