Scarcity & Competition Scarcity & Competition for Waterfor Water Declining allocations of water to
agriculture Rapid urban growth a global
phenomenon Water productivity in agriculture
rising (“more crop per drop”) Agriculture increasingly adapting to
the use of poorer quality water for irrigation

Sobering DemographicsSobering Demographics
880 million additional population by 2015, virtually all in developing countries.
After 2015, all worldwide growth in population will take place in developing country cities.

Urban ExplosionUrban Explosion India will soon cross the 50-50 urban-
rural population threshold… 750 million urban Indians by 2050.
China is actively planning for cities each with more than 100 million population.
Africa’s urban population growth rates among the highest in the world.
Latin America has been predominantly urban for generations.

Urban Water Supply Urban Water Supply GrowthGrowth
Millennium Development Goals face resource constraints (water, Millennium Development Goals face resource constraints (water, investment). Progress towards sanitation goals lagging behind water investment). Progress towards sanitation goals lagging behind water supply; therefore, supply; therefore, wastewater management is critical.wastewater management is critical.

DefinitionsDefinitions
Wastewater = partially treated or untreated urban sewage
Effluent = treated to secondary or tertiary levels (with or without disinfection)

Wastewater Use: Wastewater Use: ConclusionsConclusionsUrban growth + high tertiary treatment costs = increasing agricultural reuse
Promote beneficial agricultural reuse
Mitigate health and environmental risk

Treatment for Treatment for ComplianceCompliance WHO - 103 faecal coliforms/100 ml
Cost of treating raw sewage used for direct irrigation to meet WHO standard is approx US$125 per case of infection (of hepatitis, rotavirus, cholera, or typhoid) prevented (Fattal, Shuval, Laempert, 2004).
USEPA – zero incremental risk Incremental cost of further treating
wastewater from WHO to USEPA standard approx. US$450,000 per case of infection prevented (Fattal, Shuval, Laempert, 2004).

Policy ImplicationsPolicy Implications Planned reuse offers no easy solutions Key to success are:
coherent legal and institutional framework coordination of multiple government agencies flexible application of the ‘polluter pays’
principle extension to farmers of appropriate practices
for wastewater use public awareness campaigns to build social
acceptability for reuse
