Aquaculture effluent reused as a sustainable alternative water supply for landscape irrigation using drip irrigationl

Aquaculture effluent is the wastewater discharged from fish farm in the industry nourished with nutrients. These are potential pollutants if discharged improperly as overwhelming concentration of nutrients will cause blossom of algae and other aquatic plants and cause eutrophication. At some extend,...
