Page 5: Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture

Needs to develop national strategy

“Multi-sectoral action plan”

“Prepare capacity to all level both of Government and non-government organization”

“Awareness, research and development, capacity building, policy”

“Implementing functional treatment systems and inexpensive management”

“To encourage local government units to develop and adopt their own regulations "

Page 6: Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture

Hindrances and barriers

“Limited knowledge on the advantages or beneficial effects of wastewater reuse ”

“The public awareness about water shortage is insufficient”

“Development of wastewater treatment technology and adequate knowledge and skill for wastewater”

“Lack of strict supervision measures”

What is a dissemination strategy?

An intentionally-developed approach to dissemination includes • identification of targeted potential adopters, • an assessment of the climate of readiness for

change, • planning how engagement will be built, and • enabling transfer of knowledge and materials.

Goal: Utilization
