| Abstract: |
| Due to poor water resources management and appropriate water treatment technologies, freshwater resources depletion and water quality deterioration has made reclaimed waste water, brackish water and rainwater, called unconventional water, an important complementary resource for irrigation. However, due to its unique chemical quality, irrigating with unconventional water might lead to some detrimental impact on environment and impose health risks, which has attracted increased attention in both scientific and public community. This paper reviews the current situation of the usage of unconventional water resources for irrigation in both China and beyond, and summarized the potentially ecological risks of unconventional water, as well the national standards for regulating unconventional water irrigation. We also put forwards suggestions to improve safe and sustainable use of unconventional water resources for irrigation. |
