Effect of chlorination and pressure flushing of drippers fed by reclaimed wastewater on biofouling

This study evaluates chlorination and pressure flushing to reduce biofouling in drippers using reclaimed wastewater, finding that combined treatment is most effective in limiting biofilm and altering microbial communities.

Increasing flow rate reduces biofouling and colonization by filamentous bacteria in drippers fed with reclaimed wastewater

This study shows that higher flow rates in drippers reduce biofouling and filamentous bacterial colonization in reclaimed wastewater irrigation systems.
