Covers the common reality of untreated wastewater, greywater and excreta use. Presents the state-of-the-art on quantitative risk assessment and low-cost options for health risk reduction, from treatment to on-farm and off-farm measures, in support of the multiple barrier approach of the 2006 guidelines for safe wastewater irrigation published by the World Health Organization. Highlight experiences across the developing world with reference to various case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Mexico and the Middle East. Establishes a connection between agriculture, health and sanitation, which is often the missing link in the current discussion on ?making wastewater an asset.
