Water scarcity and water pollution

Water scarcity and water pollution are crucial issues in today’s world. One of the ways to reduce the impact of water scarcity and pollution is to expand water and wastewater reuse. The increasing scarcity of water in the world along with rapid population increase in urban areas gives rise to concern about appropriate water management practices. In the context of trends in urban development, wastewater treatment deserves greater emphasis. Currently, there is a growing awareness of the impact of sewage contamination on rivers and lakes. Accordingly, wastewater treatment is now receiving greater attention from the World Bank and government regulatory bodies.

Urban wastewater treatment has received less attention compared to ‘water supply & treatment.’ Water scarcity coupled with the bursting seams of our cities and towns have taken a toll on our health and environment. The sewage contamination of our lakes, rivers, and domestic water bodies has reached dangerous levels and is being recognized by leading organizations like the World Bank. The current urban wastewater management system is a linear treatment system that is based on disposal. The traditional system needs to be transformed into a sustainable, closed-loop urban wastewater management system that is based on the conservation of water and nutrient resources. A huge loss of life-supporting resources is the result of failed organic wastewater recovery. A wastewater management team is well equipped to create a wastewater management strategy that will result in the reduction of pathogens in surface and groundwater to improve public health.

In a developing urban society, the wastewater generation usually averages 30-70 cubic meters per person per year. In a city of one million people, the wastewater generated would be sufficient to irrigate approximately 1500-3500 hectare. This urban epidemic needs to be tackled ecologically because of so many pressing issues that are afflicting our waste management process:

Polusi air dan kelangkaan air adalah isu-isu penting dalam dunia sekarang ini. Salah satu cara untuk mengurangi dampak dari kelangkaan air dan polusi adalah untuk memperluas penggunaan kembali air dan air limbah. Meningkatnya kelangkaan air di dunia, peningkatan pesat penduduk di daerah perkotaan menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang praktek-praktek pengelolaan air yang tepat. Dalam konteks tren dalam pembangunan perkotaan, pengolahan air limbah layak penekanan yang lebih besar. Saat ini, ada kesadaran dampak pencemaran limbah di sungai dan danau. Dengan demikian, pengolahan air limbah sekarang menerima perhatian yang lebih besar dari Bank Dunia dan pemerintah Badan Pengawas.Urban wastewater treatment has received less attention compared to ‘water supply & treatment.’ Water scarcity coupled with the bursting seams of our cities and towns have taken a toll on our health and environment.
