IWA Regional Conference on Water Reuse and Salinity Management
Local Organizer: CEBAS-CSIC
Community Organizer: Water Reuse
The IWA Regional Conference on Water Reuse and Salinity Management will address the problem of water scarcity induced by climate change in arid and semiarid areas, the use of non-conventional water sources in agriculture and the risk of agricultural land and groundwater salinization in areas where aquifers are significantly depleted. The assistants to IWARESA 2018 will benefit from an event that will present advancements on water reuse and salinity management in Murcia Region, a typical Mediterranean area where the salt and water stresses are the main limiting factors for a very productive and technical agriculture.
Topics
- Innovation in desalination and water reclamation.
- Renewable energies for water reclamation and desalination.
- Emerging technology for minimization and valorization of brine.
- New tools for mapping salinity at regional scale.
- Plant and soil field salinity measurements.
- Best practices of water reuse for irrigation.
- Scheduling irrigation protocols for salty and/or reclaimed water.
- Industrial and urban water reuse.
- Sustainable soil management under irrigation with saline water.
- Crop response to salinity and added value of salt tolerant crops.
- Nutrients and fertilizers management using reclaimed water.
- Cost and benefits of alternative water resources in agriculture.
- Socio-economic impact of salinization and water reuse.
- Safety aspects of treated wastewater use in agriculture
- Public perception of water reuse and governance regulations.
