In: UA Magazine 8 - Wastewater Reuse in Urban Agriculture

This study was conducted in Faisalabad, the third most populated city of Pakistan. This paper gives the results of a survey conducted within the municipal boundaries of Faisalabad City. The unavailability and unreliability of canal water, and the bad quality of groundwater are the main reasons for using wastewater in the city, like for agricultural use. There is a need to define a proper policy framework for the use of wastewater for urban agriculture in a productive and non-hazardous way, for which suggestions are made here.
