AIWW subtheme 2: Water reuse, recycle and recover
Water is central to life itself. With the expansions in urban living, urban waste like household waste, pharmaceutical waste, agricultural waste, chemical waste, bacteriological pollution, virus transmission and solid waste has been the major sources of pollution.
Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good health and well-being), 6 (Clean water and Sanitation), 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and 15 (Life on land) consider the challenges and consequences of wastewater treatment related issues. United Nations’ World Water Development Report 2017 was focussed on establishing wastewater as a valuable resource. African renewal magazine considered wastewater as the ‘new black gold’.
Abovementioned developments helped us shaping the second AIWW subtheme: Water reuse, recycle and recover.
