Claim 13:
14. A process for controlling irrigation of wastewater onto an irrigation zone of a vegetated land, comprising:
implementing a predetermined irrigation protocol in accordance with a set of predetermined parameters to irrigate the irrigation zone during an irrigation event having a start irrigation time and an end irrigation time defining an irrigation duration, the set of predetermined parameters comprising:
an irrigation schedule corresponding to a time period during which irrigation is determined to be suitable;
a soaking time indicative of a delay between two successive irrigation events in the irrigation zone;
an irrigation volume threshold indicative of a predetermined cumulative volume of wastewater applicable onto the irrigation zone; and
a DUL-related criterion for the irrigation zone;

wherein when at least one of the start irrigation time is outside of the irrigation schedule, a prior irrigation time is less than the soaking time, a total daily irrigation volume is equal or above the irrigation volume threshold, or a soil water tension measurement of the irrigation zone is below the DUL-related criterion, no irrigation of wastewater is provided to the irrigation zone; and
wherein when the start irrigation time is within the irrigation schedule, the prior irrigation time is equal or more than the soaking time, the total daily irrigation volume is below the irrigation volume threshold, and the soil water tension measurement is equal to or above the DUL-related criterion, irrigating the irrigation zone with wastewater.
