Effect of Using Treated Sewage Water In Landscape Fields Using Pressurized Irrigation

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in Omdurman Nakheel public Garden. The objective of the study was the comparison between the use of normal domestic tap water and sewage treated water through pressurized irrigation in landscape fields at Omdurman Public Square. Drip irrigation was used irrigate the flowering shrubs and sprinkler irrigate was used irrigate the grass squaresr respectively. The complete randomized black design was used. The experiment consisted of two treatments each replicated three times. Parameters used to measure the performance of the grass were the dry matter content for the garden grass (nageel). The flowering shrubs parameters measured were, number of leaves and number of flowers and colour rate of the plant. The experiments results showed that there is significant difference between the use of waste water and normal tap water in Bermuda grass dry matter content in all cuts. The ornamental shrubs (Euphorbia and Wenka) showed significant difference between waste water treatment and normal tap water in the number of leaves emerged, the number of flowers produced and the colour in tensity. No difference in emitter performance in both water treatment .According to these results the use of treat waste water in recommended in irrigation of landscape yards.
