Jordan states that it uses treated effluent from the As Samra wastewater treatment plant for crop irrigation.

(b) Water Effluent is collected in sump tanks, then treated and sampled before final discharge from the complex

e) the prevention and control of water pollution through, inter alia, the establishment of effluent and water quality standards.

This led to an increase in the salinity of effluent from the treatment plant, which in turn damaged agricultural resources.

Jordan also claims that these studies show that damage to agricultural resources resulted from increased salinity of effluent from the As Samra wastewater treatment plant.

In this respect the weapons complex is no different from a more conventional facility, except for the high degree of emission and effluent monitoring and control usually imposed.

Saline effluent from the treatment plant also led to an increase in the salinity of irrigation waters drawn from the King Talal reservoir and the King Abdullah canal.

(4) propose a scheme for monitoring water quality conditions including the placement and operation of test wells and for remedial actions where required, including pretreatment and effluent discharge limitations and charges

However, Iraq observes that, given the standard efficiency of waste stabilization ponds, this would have resulted in increasing organic matter, suspended solids and microbiological contents of the effluent, but not in an increase in salinity.

Humans have caused major changes to the global P cycle through shipping of P minerals, and use of P fertilizer, and also the shipping of food from farms to cities, where it is lost as effluent.

And we'll watch as global warming makes them melt. More water comes down, the deforested areas, here in the Tarai, will be unable to absorb the effluent, because trees are like straws that suck up the extra seasonal water.
