Greywater Reuse for Smallholder Agricultural Development

Project of ARAVA Institute

This project, funded by USAID/Middle East Regional Cooperation, is a partnership between The Arava Institute, the Towns Association for Environmental Quality, located in Sakhnin, Israel, and iGREENs, a Jordanian environmental consulting firm. The objective of the project is to implement decentralized methods of wastewater treatment (such as constructed wetlands and membrane bioreactor systems) on a household scale to enable water reuse for agriculture. This will improve the capacity of small-scale farmers in Jordan, West Bank, and the Bedouin communities of Israel to maximize the value of greywater for irrigation.
