Abstract :
Background and Objective: Magnetic or magnetized water technology (MWT) has been recently introduced as
promising approach for water resources management in agricultural, environmental, and industrial processes.
Despite controversial findings of the recent studies, MWT seems one of the future technologies for efficient water
management. This study aims to review the feasibility and perspectives of MWT in water resources management.
Method: The databases of Web of Sciences (1980–2016), EMBASE (1980–2016), and Google Scholar (1980–2016)
were searched using the search terms of “Magnetic water†or "magnetized water" and "water resources
management" and "treatment" and “agriculture†or “irrigation†or “industrial processes†to find the relevant
papers. After reviewing the title and abstract, the papers were selected for selected for further review. The main
focus of this review was the efficacy and feasibility of magnetized water technology in efficient management of water
resources.
Results: Scale prevention or elimination, plant growth and crop yield enhancement, soil enhancement, desalination,
antibacterial feature and wastewater treatment are the main features of MWT approach. Using appropriate set up
of MWT in agricultural and environmental applications can result in water consumption saving. Magnetized water
possesses strong antitoxic features and cannot enter the MW structure.
Conclusion: Although the modern MWT is in its early stage, the general consensus highlights its beneficial effects
in agriculture, industrial applications and even for drinking water.
