Can recycled water be used for agriculture and amenity horticulture?
Yes. Approximately 230 recycled water schemes use recycled water in urban environments, while some 270 schemes are in agriculture. Agriculture uses the largest volume of recycled water accounting for 82% (423 GL) of all recycled water used. Most recycled water in agriculture is used for pastures, dairy farming and horticulture (fruit, grapes and vegetables). Golf courses, sporting grounds and parks are also a signifi cant user of recycled water, using approximately 33 GL. Urban gardens are a relatively small user of recycled water. The required quality of the recycled water will differ depending on the crop being irrigated or the use of the amenities.
