Abstract
Taking account of its importance in water scarce regions, the use of non-conventional water resources to complement or replace the use of usual sources of fresh water is discussed. The use of wastewater is considered for irrigation purposes, for aquaculture and for aquifers recharge. Attention is paid to the control of possible associated health risks. Another resource considered in this chapter is saline water and assessment of its suitability for irrigation and related uses. Also dealt with are the use of desalinated water, fog water capture, water harvesting, groundwater harvesting, cloud seeding, and water transfers.
