Application of alternative sources of water in agricultural food production — current trends and future prospects
2022
Rao, Aishwarya P | Patel, Jitendra | Pradhan, Abani K
Irrigation water has been identified as a source of contamination in recent produce-linked outbreaks. With seasonal variations in climate changes, factors such as drought have a profound effect on agriculture. Recent studies have analyzed various water sources to establish microbial and chemical profiles to determine if they are fit for use as irrigation water in fresh produce fields. This review focuses on the recent research done and current regulatory trends seen with respect to water reuse systems. Alternative irrigation sources are being applied to crops not for human consumption but need an extensive health-based assessment before they can be applied to food crops in the field. This paves the way for novel technologies such as computational modeling and simulation to thoroughly assess the risks associated with using nontraditional water sources for crops for human consumption.
