8.3.3 Iranian Limits for Wastewater Reuse

Despite the aforementioned advantages that have been recognized by the Iranian government, the country lacks a policy for wastewater reuse. In 1994 the “Effluent Discharge Standard” was developed by the Department of the Environment (Bahri 2008). The standard is only applicable for discharge of treated wastewater into receiving surface water bodies, into absorption wells and for irrigation purposes in agriculture (Iranian Department of Environment 1998). In this context, surface waters are defined as seasonal or permanent rivers, natural or artificial lakes and lagoons. The term absorption well refers to ditches or trenches having the capacity for the infiltration of water into the ground. The limit values are given in Table 8.5 is. Being limited to these three reuse options, the standard does not represent a complete wastewater reuse policy.Table 8.5Iranian Standard for discharge and reuse of treated sewage effluent (Iranian Department of Environment 1998)
