Wastewater is becoming an enigma in the sustainable development of society. The growing urban population of developing economies like India and China faces the serious challenge of water quality management and industrial wastewater treatment.

According to UNICEF, nearly two billion people live in countries where the water supply is inadequate. Half of the world’s population, especially underdeveloped and developing economies in Africa and Asia, face water scarcity for clean drinking water for everyone. It is estimated that nearly 700 million people have to relocate due to extreme water scarcity by 2030.

Due to global warming, there has been an increased frequency of droughts and famines across the globe contributing to adverse water conditions. To save the environment from pollution, and the harmful impact of untreated wastewater, it is important to introduce wastewater treatment technology. As we move towards a sustainable future, municipalities and industries are likely to adopt new water and wastewater treatment technologies market.

The top innovations in water and wastewater treatment technology are:

• Water reuse and recycling
• Water treatment and circularity
• Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Destruction
• Thermal Hydrolysis
• Microbial fuel cells
• Membrane filtration
• Advanced Oxidation
• Nanofiltration
• Modular water treatment system
• Desalination
