Wastewater in agriculture: a resource or a risk? A model balancing sustainability and health

With climate change leading to increasing water scarcity, the use of treated wastewater for irrigation is becoming an increasingly widespread solution. This approach saves water resources and reduces fertiliser use, while introducing new risks, including residual drugs and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can pose threats to human health and ecosystems.
