Abstract
The third case study is in India, where wastewater use for irrigation is unregulated and indirect, similar to the practices in many other developing countries. Wastewater reuse is not new to India, because there has been a history of untreated or partially treated wastewater use there for a long time. Today, as a result of rapid population growth, massive industrialization, and the growing number of cities, indirect use of wastewater has increased even further as large amounts of sewage are discharged into the rivers.
