The discharge of agricultural wastewater poses significant risks to human health and aquatic ecosystems by promoting eutrophication, groundwater contamination, and biodiversity loss. Effective management of agricultural wastewater requires an integrated approach that combines pollution prevention, sustainable management practices, and efficient treatment technologies. Management strategies such as source reduction, hydraulic segregation, containment systems, vegetative buffer strips, and wastewater reuse help minimize pollutant generation and improve water-use efficiency. In addition, treatment technologies including coagulation-flocculation, membrane filtration, adsorption, electrochemical processes, and microalgae-based systems play a vital role in removing contaminants and enabling the safe reuse of wastewater for agricultural purposes. A combination of sustainable management practices, advanced treatment technologies, and effective regulatory measures is essential for reducing environmental pollution, conserving water resources, and supporting long-term agricultural productivity and food security.</em></p> Aakankshya Pradhan, Swetaleena Tripathy Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Environmental Engineering and Studies https://matjournals.net/engineering/index.php/JoEES/article/view/4041 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000
