Minimum Quality Requirements for Water Reuse in Agricultural Irrigation: A Review of Legislation in the European Union.

  • The European Commission has identified water reuse "as a possible other way of mitigating the impacts of severe drought" (European Union: European Commission, 2007) and is thus stepping up efforts to encourage water reuse in the Union (European Union: European Commission, 2012a). In order to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks associated with this practise, and ensure compliance with the laws, the clear identification and sound knowledge of existing or developing limit values of water quality is of crucial importance, when planning and creating water reuse schemes. In this study, the water quality requirements in terms of limit values of treated waste water for agricultural irrigation set in the legislation of different countries and regions (i.e. European Union, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Italy and Spain) were investigated. In the eventuality of a regulatory gap, the requirements set in other pieces of legislation regulating the quality of water for agricultural irrigation or other uses were provided. The purpose of this work is to support the decision making of a subject planning to reuse water for agricultural irrigation, but is not aware of the legal framework regulating this activity.
