This book begins by discussing general environmental issues. It then delves into the pollutants found in drainage water, with a particular focus on soil and water salinity, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. The residues of chemical fertilizers and animal manure, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, are major environmental pollutants. Heavy metals, though less understood, are also significant contaminants. The use of wastewater from urban treatment plants introduces pollutants into the soil and plants, posing risks to animal and human health. Therefore, the topic of wastewater irrigation is thoroughly examined.
