Abstract
Drinking water and sanitation has been recognized as the prioritized area of global development, but this sector is also coupled with enormous loads of wastewater generation. The challenges associated with wastewater management thus seem to be ever growing. Wastewater management is a key player in achieving future world water security, and the issues concerning wastewater and water quality have deep rooted connections with various other issues but not limited to the water, food, and energy-nexus. Inadequate/inefficient wastewater management can pose severe threats to ecosystems, human health, and economic activities too.
