A review on pesticide degradation from irrigation water and techno-economic feasibility of treatment technologies

Chirag Mandar Mule et al. Water Environ Res. 2021 Nov.

Abstract

The present study focuses and assures the need for pesticide degradation from various water bodies used for irrigation and the available technologies to treat them effectively. A thorough review of the literature is done on pesticide residues present in various irrigation water sources like rivers, groundwater, river sediments, and soil which signifies the existence of pesticides in the ecosystem. This indicates the severity of water pollution due to various sources around and their adverse effect on the ecosystem. However, several technologies are available to treat these pesticides based on the classification. A Cross comparison between the technologies is done to determine the efficient technology for the treatment of irrigation water.

Keywords: hydrodynamic cavitation; irrigation water; pesticide degradation; photo-Fenton; water treatment.
