Access to safe and clean water is essential for human health and well-being. However, many people around the world lack access to safe drinking water due to various factors, including pollution, inadequate infrastructure, and climate change.

Water quality can be affected by a range of contaminants, including pathogens, chemicals, and physical pollutants. Wastewater can also contain a variety of pollutants that can harm human health and the environment if not properly treated.

Effective water quality management requires a combination of approaches, including source water protection, treatment, and monitoring. Wastewater treatment is also essential for protecting public health and the environment, and can involve various technologies such as biological treatment, physical-chemical treatment, and advanced treatment processes.
