MADFORWATER. WP4 Field pilots for the adaptation and integration of technologies. Task4.3 Operation and optimization of the field pilots. Wastewater treatment performances and Irrigation/treated wastewater reuse performances. Municipal wastewater pilot. UMA-Tunisia

This dataset contains the data produced by UMA team in the framework of task 4.3 of MADFORWATER project. Two sets of data were generated during the first and the second periods of survey of the pilot to evaluate: (i) the Municipal Wastewater Treatment Pilot efficiency, and (ii) the impact of the Treated Municipal Wastewater (TMWW) reuse in agriculture. The first part of the data consists of quantitative survey results from monitoring the Pilot at different sampling points, including SP1: pilot plant inlet, sampling point after preliminary treatments in the main WWTP, SP2: outlet of the BOD oxidation section, SP3: outlet of the nitrification section and SP4: sample point after disinfection and secondary settler, constructed wetland (CW) inlet and SP5: sample after the constructed wetland. The monitored physicochemical parameters are: chemical oxygen demand (COD), Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), the conductivity, the turbidity, Kjeldahl Nitrogen (NKj), nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4), phosphate (PO4) and Total Phosphorous (TP), pH, Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen, E. coli. The second part of the data consist of the irrigation pilot reports on the performance of the Treated Municipal Wastewater (TMWW) reuse in agriculture. The supply of Plant Growth Promoting (PGP) bacteria through irrigation network was also investigated. A first-year corn field trial allowed the evaluation of the plant growth and crop production including roots and shoots fresh and dry weights, plant height, tassel length, plant and ear numbers, grain number, crop yield, crop biomass and 100-grain weight. The second-year field trial on wheat crop estimated the effect of TMWW and PGPB supply on shoot and spike lengths; root, shoot and spike weights; and wheat crop biomass. Data related to crop water productivity and soil microbiological quality are also reported for both crop types (Maize and Wheat).
