The inadequate management of wastewater poses a serious threat to environmental sustainability. When vast amounts of untreated wastewater containing nutrients, toxic substances, and organic matter are discharged into rivers, lakes, and oceans, it can have severe implications for the integrity of ecosystems.

Apart from the damage caused to aquatic life, the degradation of these ecosystems also reduces their capacity to provide vital services that humans rely on, such as water purification, coastal protection, and food provision. It is essential to prioritize effective wastewater management practices to ensure the long-term sustainability of our environment and the health and well-being of all living organisms that depend on it.
