How sustainable are current water sources—including alternatives such as desalination, wastewater reuse, and groundwater—for supporting irrigated agriculture in semi-arid and arid regions?
Over 80% of water use in semi-arid and arid regions is allocated to agricultural irrigation, making the sustainability of water sources in these areas a critical concern. The key trade-offs and long-term implications of relying on alternative waters sources are not fully understood.

I'm wondering, if the EDC such as bisphenol A, was chlorinated during the water treatment process, is the toxicity of formed disinfection by-products (DBPs) from EDCs smaller than the EDCs itself?
Many studies have been conducted on the DBP formation potential of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC), however, the toxicity comparison (before and after the chlorination process) was not comprehensive and limited.
