Abstract:	"The prevailing 'scientific' approach to wastewater irrigation advocates treatment before use, and the implementation of strict regulations. Many developing countries cannot afford to build treatment facilities, and do not have the resources to enforce regulations. There are other options, as IWMI research in Mexico and Pakistan demonstrates."
