SUMMARY:Reclaimed water for vineyard irrigation in Mediterranean context
DESCRIPTION:Reclaimed water for vineyard irrigation in Mediterranean context\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nWaste water source\nThe source is domestic wastewater from a small (2\,000 person equivalents) wastewater treatment plant in the region of Roquefort-des-Corbières. BRL exploitation\, initially called ‘Compagnie Nationale d'Aménagement de la Région du Bas Rhône et du Languedoc’\, is the operator of the plant. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nDistribution System\nThe wastewater flows to a buffer container with a 12 m³/h pump which charges a storage basin of 3\,000 m³. Thereafter\, the wastewater is drawn from the basin using a submerged pump and undergoes filtration and chlorination. The reclaimed water is distributed via a pressurized piping system. Irrigation is then performed using subsurface drip irrigation. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nFarming system\nThe reclaimed water is applied to the crops through drip irrigation. In general the drip irrigation system is also used to apply fertilizers (fertigation) and phytosanitary products. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nWaste water treatment description\nNutrient removal : Activated sludge\nPesticide removal : none\nDisinfection : Chlorination and filtration\nSuspended solids removal : Chemical coagulation\nOther \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nCapacity\nThe wastewater treatment plants discharge is about 100 to 300 m³/day. The clean water is used for irrigation purposes from June to mid-August. About 500 to 600 m³/ha/year is foreseen\, which results in a total delivery of 6\,000 to 7\,200 m³/year. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nExtent of the agricultural beneficiaries\nThe extent of the agricultural land benefitting from the reclaimed water is 12 ha. The irrigated area is divided in smaller plots over nine different farms. The average yield for the wineries is about 70 to 80 hl/ha. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nCosts\nOPEX : Around 250€/Ha/year \nCAPEX : Not known \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nType of agreement\n\n\n\nThe farmers are organized within an irrigators union. BRL exploitation operates the wastewater treatment and the reclamation plant. It is also responsible for the water quality\, storage and water delivery to the plots. \nFarmers are responsible for the disinfection of the irrigation pipes at the end of the irrigation season.\n\n\n\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nScientific results\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			 \nAdditional information\nThe legal authorization document can be downloaded here (French only)
