The attitude of alternative agriculture movements to irrigation ranges from outright refusal not to alter natural conditions , to prohibition of using plastic pipes, maybe in the belief that metal or asbestos-cement pipes are less polluting, to reject of re-using treated domestic wastewaters, to acceptance, in a more realistic mood.

Biomass, the most useful form of which is wood, may be burned directly, gasified or liquefied, with energy efficiency decreasing in that order (Table XI). In addition, there are nonenergy uses, for example, for pulp, or in the case of juvenile poplar leaves, potentially for cattle fodder. Clearly also, there are alternative agricultural uses for the land used for energy plantations.
