Abstract

In the present era, wastewater treatment is a challenging issue for living organism and biophysical environment. According to United Nation (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), climate change is not just a distant future treat, it is the main driver behind rising humanitarian need, and we are seeing its impact. Either there is a lot of environmental issue, but wastewater treatment is one of the main environmental issues for the twenty-first century. Wastewater challenges not only depend on legislations for controlled effluent but also on socioeconomic condition as well as regional characteristics. In this scenario, it is difficult to categorize a common reason to all these situations. In a note, there is a need for implementation of cost-effective and high-performance waste treatment system, and public awareness is of importance. Improper treatment of wastewater from industries and houses before disposal poses severe environmental as well as health issues to the surrounding communities. In this book chapter, we are highlighting several treatment techniques and approaches which have been developed and applied in making sure that these wastewaters are properly treated before being discharged into the environment.
