Abstract: | The present study aim was to valorize the treated waste water as source of fertilizers for vegetables seed production and to assess the eventual bacteriological contamination risks of soil, plant and phreatic ground water table. The bacteriological analysis of drained water did not reveal any fecal coliforms vertical migration in depth and a low fecal contamination (thermotolerant coliforms) is limited to the levels of superficial horizons. The seed produced by using waste water showed a slightly fecal contamination which disappeared following treatment with a (5% chloride solution. The treated waste water improve the onion seeds production per hectare in spite of the increases of the phytopathogenic hazards. |
