title: The investigation of irrigation with wastewater on trees (Populus deltoids L.).
abstract: The urban green space and environment should be considered to be among the most fundamental elements of the sustainability of natural and human life in the new citizenship. To investigate the effect of irrigation on northern Mashad municipal effluent treatment plant effluent on the chemical properties of soil and accumulation of nutrient in poplar trees, a study was carried out using a random-systematic pattern. To investigate soil as well as accumulation of nutrients and cadmium in leaves, samples of soil (0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm) and leaves were taken from each plot in four replications. The measurements carried out in the laboratory showed that the cadmium of the samples of leaf and soil in the compound irrigated with waste water was significantly more than the compound irrigated with well water. The results of the present research suggest that urban waste water can be used as a source of irrigation whereas muck can be employed in forestation and irrigation with precise and particular supervision and control.
