Saline industrial wastewater containing non-biodegradable compounds (a-methylphenylglycine) can be treated by a photo-Fenton process. However, in order to reduce the treatment costs, the AOP can be coupled with a biologic treatment as soon as water is biodegradable.

The main objective of this publication is therefore to assist planners and practitioners in designing and managing spate irrigation projects. It covers hydrology, engineering, agronomy, local organisations and rules, wadi basin management and the economics. It is designed to be both a practical guidance document and a source of information and examples based extensively on experience from around the world in areas where spate irrigation is practised.
