Abstract
Water is the basic need of life and important practices in agricultural practices. Microorganisms are present in the
irrigation water, from house hold and industries, factories are easy transferred to human through the consumption of
these vegetables that has been grown with the waste water becoming the source of illness in many cases of food borne
diseases. The leafy vegetables are more risky for the human and consumption of fresh leafy plants are suspectable to
cause illness in human beings. Wastewater used for the irrigation contains both microbes and toxic heavy metals which
cause toxicity. Industries waste contains microbes that are resistant to heavy metals which are used in common practice
for irrigation. Industrial progress cause the spreading of polluted environment with toxic heavy metals causes many
diseases such as lung cancer, allergic reaction , gastrointestinal, abnormalities of the skeletal system, kidney damage,
prostate, skin rash, genetic material alteration, liver and kidney damage, weakened immune system , biochemical
effects in humans, synthesis of haemoglobin etc. It has notice that some of the microbes showed resistivity towards the
zinc and copper.
Bioremediation uses microorganisms to modify toxic pollutants and obtain energy for the production of biomass in the
process. and biomass production. This kind of process is termed as bioremediation uses microorganisms for degradation
of pollutants

INTRODUCTION
Crops irrigation is long term used practice which is very important for agriculture and horticulture
irrigation of crops is an important and long-used practice to increase agricultural and horticultural
production (1). 274 million hectares lands of agriculture were irrigated with the waste water which is about
16% of total earth area for cultivation (2). Irrigation is the main step in the crop production in areas with
sporadic rainfall, which is why for food production million hectares areas are irrigated world-wide. Due to
scarcity of irrigated water, wastewater is commonly used for irrigation which causes the risk of foodborne
illnesses (3). Listeria spp., Salmonella spp. and verotoxin producing Escherichia coli are foodborne pathogens
transferred through irrigation water to plant surfaces. Vero toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp.
And Listeria spp. are some of the principal foodborne microorganisms, transfer from the irrigation water to
plant surfaces (4, 5). Most of the foodborne pathogens are responsible for gastrointestinal diseases, although
they are consumed freshly. Decontamination of irrigation water is highly recommended for hygienically
safe agricultural production. Environment has great effect on pathogens and can survive for varying period
depends on temperature, nutrient availability, humidity and UV radiation. Gastrointestinal diseases are
allied with the fresh produce consumption, in which foodborne microorganisms are observed. For safe
agriculture irrigation it is recommended, to use decontaminated water for irrigation, microorganisms can
survive on plants surface for varying period of time, depends on the environmental conditions like
nutrients, temperature, UV radiation and humidity (6).
The main objective of irrigation is to supply water to the soil, mainly to the vegetables, in order to
prevent or remove deficiencies in soil moisture. However, irrigation water may also be applied to modify

the growth factors other than soil moisture deficiency in order to maintain or promote growth of crops (7). If
water is expensive or if there is water shortage then frequent irrigation is a direct economic loss and even if
water is inexpensive then excess application may adversely affect the crop growth by leaching soluble
plant nutrients from the soil, which is harmful to the plant. Wastewater contaminated with heavy metals,
microorganisms, organic pollutants, industrial wastes, factories waste products, inorganic compounds, etc
(8). Marginal-quality water irrigation is a common practice adopted by millions of small-scale farmer
around the world because they have no alternative (9). Irrigation water quality can be determined by the
presence of salt in saline water used for the agriculture. Moreover crops are noticed by their ability to
tolerate the salinity (10). Wastewater salinity used for irrigation is increased gradually, certain soil, cropping
problems, water is increased and the only way to manage the salinity problem, salt through the rootzone is
the only practice (11). Organic compounds contaminate the water with heavy metals, petroleum products,
explosives, combustible and hazardous wastes (12, 13).
Biological function and different chemical properties of heavy metals elements make it harmful for
irrigation. Heavy metals are termed as heavy metals due to those metals which have specific weights that
are more than 5g cm-3. Among the heavy metals cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb)
are poison for humans because they are not easily digest due to which there is high risk for humans and also
not easy to breakdown in environment. Cancer and gene transduction is also caused by these elements
consumption. Biochemical reactions are activated by copper and zinc which serve as important constant in
information of enzyme-substrate complex (14).
IRRIGATION METHODS
Different water strategies are applied for agriculture. There are two primary sorts of water system
strategies for irrigation called localized and surface irrigation (24). Surface irrigation is a straightforward

way of crop irrigation, in which water streams beneath gravity without pumping. Surface irrigation system
performed as channel, border peel off irrigation or flood, water is not connected directly to the plant
canopy, so the plant phylloshere cannot be sullied directly in case of contaminated water supply (25).
Localized system use water which is applied to each plant with the help of connected pipes (26).
Localized irrigation method water can be supplied through spray or micro sprinkler in which water is
supplied directly to the plant canopy, drip irrigation which applied water to the root zone of the each plant,
or bubbler irrigation in which water is applied in low quantities to the soil adjacent (27).
Sub water system strategies can be utilized in a zones with high ground water level, in this type of
irrigation water is upraised by pipes and pumps to underground channels and is made accessible through
channel drive to the plant root sector (28).
Between the irrigation events microorganisms have been found within water remaining in channels.
(29, 30). According to research in the USA on membrane bioreactor treatment Aeromonas, Legionella and
other pathogens regrowth has been detailed (31). The flushing of the water system framework is must in
arrange to diminish the chance of microorganisms defilement in channels. In Nigeria E. coli, Vibrio spp. and
Salmonella spp were found from the irrigated plants. In open irrigation system aquatic plants and sediments
helps the microorganisms to survive, whereas in piped based irrigation system microorganisms survive
through biofilms. Survival of these microorganisms depend on few conditions like temperature, organic
matter content, pH, radiation, competition with other microorganisms and supplements accessibility (32).
MICROORGANISMS IN SEWAGE
Sewage water contains pathogens isolated from various investigations which are same pathogens
present in the animal’s wastes. The animals waste has the potentialities of transmission of human disease
and parasitic infection through the soil, when these wastes are provided for agricultural practices. The soil
fertilization with the human waste were very common in the past decades due to which it becomes a
common practice till now and unnamed diseases took birth in the society (63).

Industrialization causes natural contamination with overwhelming metals which is increasing day
by day (64). Heavy metals are heterogeneous elements of periodic table group,, arranged according to
element chemical properties and its natural functions. Heavy metals are those metals which have specific
weights more than 5g cm-3 (65), produces toxins in human and food, among them (As) arsenic, ( Hg)
mercury, (Pb) lead and (Cd) cadmium are growing poison, accumulating in food chain through the
primary producer levels uptake, in human body enters through injection or inhalation. These metals are
carcinogenic and mutagenic (66).

Cadmium, lead, nickel, mercury, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, copper, manganese, iron, zinc are
known as the trace elements, known as environmental pollutants in places with high anthropogenic weight,
copper, manganese, zinc, and iron also known as important trace micronutrients. All organisms are
seriously affected by trace heavy metals presents in the atmosphere, water, soil and abundant bioavailability
of these heavy metals can result in bioaccumulation in the food chain proved to be very toxin for human.
Heavy metals contaminate the soil, ground water, wastewater, surface water, sediments particulate
vegetables causing serious health problems. Although human body needs trace elements in a low quantity
to fulfill the body requirements such as vitamins and minerals (67). Trace elements plays an important role
in biological, chemical, metabolic biochemical, enzymatic reactions and catabolic reaction in the living cells
of human, animals and plants. human body contains these trace elements in a broad concentration to fulfil
body requirements. Heavy metals are often called as xenobiotic as they are not that much beneficial for our
body functioning but they are harmful when present in a minor concentration in body (68).
First discovered in 1992, by environmental protection agency (EPA) about the effects of trace
elements on crops due to wastewater irrigation. The reuse of wastewater by industries and in agricultural
practices were studied in 2004 which also include new information on treatment, emerging chemicals,

pathogens of concern, disinfection technologies, user rate, and funding alternatives, sources of information,
acceptance, research activities and public involvement (69). Intake of contaminated water causes
accumulation of large number of chemicals in the body. These chemicals may range from sodium fluoride
(an active ingredient in rat poison), aluminum and chlorine to some heavy metals like nickel, chromium,
lead and cadmium. All are harmful in our bloodstream beyond some tolerable limitations. Lead, cadmium
in water is toxic for our body (70).

BIOREMEDIATION
Ability of certain microorganisms to convert, utilize and modify toxic pollutants in order to obtain
energy and biomass production in the process. This kind of process is termed as bioremediation in which
the microorganisms is used for the biodegradation of pollutants. Microorganisms are widely distributed on
the biosphere because of their metabolic ability and can easily grow in a wide range of environmental
conditions (105). Bacteria, fungi and archaea are typical prime bioremediators used for bioremediation in
order to clean up contaminated sites (106). Microorganisms act as important pollutants removal tools in
water, sediments and soil, that is due to their advantage over other remediation hone conventions.
Microorganism are preventing the further pollution and restoring the original surroundings (107). A
technique that involves use of organisms to neutralize pollutants from a contaminated site. Environmental
protection agency (EPA) defines that bioremediation is technically a wastewater management, use naturally
occurring organisms to break down hazardous substances to less toxic substances (108). Chemical
contaminants and microorganisms are used as an energy source using their metabolic process during the
microbiological process (109). Hazardous pollutants which when released into the natural water bodies,
they cause serious environmental degradation and also increases the human health risk, which is largely
due to heavy metals, chloride, high dissolved salt, toxic chemicals and other pollutants (110).
Bioremediation only effectively occur through the addition of oxygen, fertilizers, to encourage the
microorganisms growth for the degradation of pollutants within bio-stimulation (111). Bioremediation
depends on many conditions such as the physiochemical characteristics of the environment, their
accessibility to microorganisms, concentration of pollutants and the chemical nature of pollutants (112).
Recent discoveries have been proved to be successful by the expansion of coordinated strains of
microorganisms to the medium in order to enhance the microorganisms’ populace capacity ability to
degenerate (113, 114).

CONCLUSION
Result based conclusion are as follows. The general overview of this research work is based on
water borne diseases related to wastewater irrigation. Due to the shortage of irrigation water in agriculture
practices wastewater are commonly used for irrigation of vegetables. The lack of awareness people buy
vegetables without knowing the origin of irrigation area, that from where these vegetables are process,
brought and which source of water are used for irrigation, due to which most of the people in our society
are affected with diseases such as diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fatigue, cancer and abdominal patellar
reflexes. In future these kind of problems will be increased because of the increased population and shortage
of healthy water causing unhealthy crop production. Squander treatment unit ought to be introducing at the
conclusion of the water supply system, using photocatalysis if there is a tall load of organisms within the
water system. Low water content for cultivation of vegetables did kill human pathogens from the
phyllosphere. In future more research work on wastewater management is required to reduce the risk of
microorganisms population on crops. Photocatalysis unit may be required within the water system water
dissemination framework. Agricultural practices must be used which improves the developments of
antioxidants such as phenolic compounds and should adopt the hone that reestablish the development of
competing bacteria to decrease the numbers of enteric pathogens within the plant phyllosphere. Special
measures are required to improve the quality and hygiene of food items.
