IWRA Webinar on Agricultural Water Reuse Challenges and Opportunities

IWRA is hosting a third webinar focused on Water Reuse in a Circular Economy. The theme of this webinar will be agricultural water reuse – challenges and opportunities. Agriculture is one of the largest global water users and water reuse will play an increasingly important role in secure food supplies. This webinar will help the audience to better understand potential reuse sources and challenges associated with water reuse in agriculture.

This webinar will feature presentations by authors of three studies that will be documented in the second issue of the i-WSSM UNESCO Global Water Security Issues series. Presentations will cover case studies in arid regions, including irrigation with reclaimed water, marginal water resource use and best practices for wastewater reuse.

Participation is free and open to all. Audience questions are  encouraged.
