ABSTRACT

For irrigation with reclaimed wastewater to be a reasonable alternative for municipalities, financial and economic feasibility for farm owners-operators, 1 andowners, and farm tenants must be shown. Financial and economic feasibility are important to both the farmer and the municipality. In the case where a municipality owns the land, the project must be attractive to potential tenants: landowners/farm operators must be better off contracting for the water rather than doing without. But this chapter focuses only on the farmer's view.
