Abstract
![CDATA[Pollutant source management is an integral part of the overall strategy for sustaining effluent reuse system. Source management includes the identification and monitoring of contaminants with a view to their reduction or elimination before they enter the sewage system. Input of salt laden effluent into the sewer system has resulted in increase of salt levels in the recycled water. As the use of recycled water for irrigation is one of the most common applications, there is an increased risk for salinity in vadose zone of soils that are irrigated with recycled water. In this paper, we identify and review different pollutant sources that contribute to the soil salinity through recycled water irrigation. We then examine different options for controlling salinity at source to reduce the impacts due to recycled water irrigation and propose a risk assessment framework to evaluate the salinity impacts associated with different elements of the source management.]]
