Abstract: “The global population is rising steadily and is likely to touch a level of 9.8 billion in 2050 from the existing over 7.6 billion. The quick ascent in the population has expanded the urbanization which results in the production of a huge amount of wastewater. The SDG6 of the United Nations pushes the reuse of treated wastewater to 'ensure the availability of water for all'. The use of treated wastewater for crop irrigation is a feasible option as the agriculture sector is the largest user of freshwater sources and uses over 70% of all water resources. The utilization of wastewater for crop irrigation is a common practice throughout the world. Essentially, the utilization of wastewater for irrigation is viewed as an approach to deal with the disparity between water availability and water requirement. It is particularly practiced in the arid and semiarid areas that are facing the large water scarcities. Wastewater contains basic plant supplements that enhance crop production and simultan”
