Özet
In order to meet the demand for scarce water resources, which decrease in quantity and quality in many countries, especially domestic waste water is primarily treated and re-used. Discharging of waste water is an important resource to meet water demand in addition to achieving the minimum flow in rivers. Treated wastewater could be used as an alternative water resource in many areas especially in landscaping and irrigation of major agricultural products. Wastewater treatment level and accuracy requirements vary based on the field of use. Biological treatment requires taking into consideration of the public health in agricultural irrigation. Treated wastewater used in agricultural irrigation could meet a portion or all nutrient requirements for plant growth. In addition, particularly heavy metals and excessive amount of certain pathogens might have caused the adverse effects on human health and also soil accumulation. Therefore, certain basic standards must be established even if wastewater was treated for the purpose of utilisation. In this study, the suitability of treated wastewater for irrigation and the possible effects on public health were discussed. Additionally, infectious diseases arising from the drinking and potable water were examined in Diyarbakir Province between the years 2005-2015.
