Soil chemical properties affected by application of treated municipalwastewater

Author(s): Khodabakhsh Panahi Kordlaghari, Sadigheh Nikeghbali Sisakht and Abdolhossin Saleh

In a twelve months pot experiment irrigation with Treated Municipal Wastewater Effluent (TMWE), the changes of some soil properties such as salinity, pH, organic carbon, soluble calcium and magnesium, available potassium and phosphorus was studied. The experiment carried out in the region of Bovirahamad in 2010-2011 in the presence of some green space non-fruit seedling trees . The irrigation treatments include potable water as control (W), “full (F) and intermittent (WF) application of TMWE”. The results showed significant changes in some of the soil properties. Electrical Conductivity (salinity), organic carbon, soluble Ca and Mg, available soil phosphorus and potassium increased significantly. However, the percentage of total neutralizing Value (T.N.V) decreased. A little but not significant reduction was occurred in soil pH.
