Chlorine can be used to kill pathogens, bacteria that are harmful to human consumption, as well algae and iron-forming bacteria that clog filters and nozzles. Chlorinealso provides residual protection by treating water as it travels through the irrigation system and out into the greenhouse or nursery. Hope it helps you.

The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back to the environment. As solid material decays, it uses up oxygen, which is needed by the plants and animals living in the water.
As a halogen, chlorine is a highly efficient disinfectant, and is added to public water supplies to kill disease-causing pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoans, that commonly grow in water supply reservoirs, on the walls of water mains and in storage tanks.
