Abstract

Freshwater scarcity has become increasingly common in many regions of the world in the context of global climate change. The reuse of greywater for irrigation is an effective solution to save water and reuse some nutrients in greywater. However, greywater reuse also contains some potential risks to soil, human health, and the yield of plants. In this review, we would like to provide a general overview of greywater characteristics, the potential of its reuse for irrigation, the possible risks, and benefits.
