Abstract: A systematic study was carried out on objects, contents and techniques of the investigation and evaluation of status of groundwater environment in reclaimed wastewater irrigated agricultural area and a set of methods was established and tested in a typical area irrigated with reclaimed wastewater. Results show that the evaluation basically and objectively reflected the status of the groundwater environment in the region and determined sources and degree of the pollution of the groundwater, which demonstrates that the set of methods is target-oriented and operable. Their The establishment of the methods is of great significance to guiding nationwide investigation and evaluation of status of groundwater environment in such regions.

Key words: reclaimed wastewater irrigated area, groundwater, environment status, investigation, evaluation
