Project description

Amid increasing freshwater demands and extreme weather, this project examines the impacts of treated wastewater (TWW) irrigation on soil quality, focusing on changes and connections in soil physiochemical, structural, hydraulic, and microbial properties. Meta-analysis and field experiments aim to optimize future water application strategies, providing critical insights into TWW's influence on soil for future application strategies.
