There is considerable range of salt tolerance between varieties of the same
species. Many different cultivars have been speci
cally developed to grow under
conditions of elevated salinity (cf. Tanji and Kielen
2002
). Some plants (halo-
phytes) even respond with higher yields to increased levels of salinity (Goodin et al.
1990
).
Annex 4 Policy Priorities on Wastewater Reuse
Priorities depend to some extent on the context for which wastewater reuse is
considered. The table below, for instance, relates priorities to the level of economic
development of different countries.
