What is municipal wastewater and why is it important to manage it properly?
Municipal wastewater is the water that has been used by households, businesses, and/or industries in populated areas. It contains various contaminants that can harm the environment and human health if not treated properly. Managing municipal wastewater is the process of collecting, transporting, treating, and disposing or reusing the wastewater in a safe and sustainable way.
Municipal wastewater management is a complex and challenging task that requires adequate planning, design, financing, operation, and maintenance of the infrastructure and facilities involved. It also requires coordination and cooperation among various stakeholders, such as governments, utilities, regulators, communities, industries, and civil society. Moreover, it requires innovation and adaptation to address the emerging issues and opportunities related to climate change, population growth, urbanization, technological advancement, and resource recovery.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22text-align%22%3A%22justify%22%7D%7D”]
