[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]GEUSI [Relecteur_IRSTEA]Garnaud, S.France is currently preparing a new law to regulate the application through irrigation techniques of treated waste water in a reuse objective. It appeared in the first draft that the restrictions applied to the use of the sprinkling irrigation for spreading treated waste water were not based on real scientific data. We thus selected 7 models of sprinklers on which we conduct measurements of the distribution of rainfall and the distribution of droplet diameters along the radius. Such data were then used to characterize through numerical simulations the risk potentially induced. A previous research work showed us that we could define limits of droplets size to induce evap...
