As the most important resource for life, water has been a central issue on international agenda several decades. Yet, world’s supply of clean freshwater is steadily decreasing due to extensive agricultural demand irrigated lands. Therefore, resources should be used with greater efficiency, and use non-traditional resources, such as Treated Wastewater (TW), increased. Reusing TW could an alternative option increase resources. Thus, many countries have decided turn wastewater into irrigation help meet urban address shortages. However, because nature that water, there are potential problems associated its in irrigation. Some major concerns health hazards, salinity build-up, toxicity hazards. The objectives this comprehensive literature review illuminate importance using source assess effects soil fertility other properties, plants, public health. reveals reuse become part extension program boosting utilization. uncontrolled application waters unfavorable both soils especially long-term. To reduce these when irrigation, proper guidelines management followed limit negative significantly.

Abstract Antimicrobial pharmaceuticals are classified as emergent micropollutants of concern, implying that even at low concentrations, long-term exposure to the environment can have significant eco-toxicological effects. There is a lack standardized regulatory framework governing permissible antibiotic content for monitoring environmental water quality standards. Therefore, indiscriminate discharge antimicrobials potentially active concentrations into urban wastewater treatment facilities rampant. Antimicrobials may exert selective pressure on bacteria, leading resistance development and eventual health consequences. The emergence clinically important multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria in untreated hospital effluents plants (WWTPs) has been linked continuous antimicrobials. levels antibiotics their correlation evolution spread resistant need be elucidated help formulation mitigation measures. This review explores frequently detected gives comprehensive coverage bacterial mechanisms different classes through expression wide variety genes either inherent and/or exchanged among or acquired from reservoir (ARGs) systems. To complement removal ARGs WWTPs, upscaling implementation prospective interventions such vaccines, phage therapy, natural compounds alternatives widespread use provides multifaceted approach minimize antimicrobial resistance.
