3 Reasons Why Sustainable Wastewater Management is Important

Management of the wastewater emerging from any facility is of the utmost importance. It not only ensures the smooth outflow of the waste material but also prevents contamination of the environment from the discharge of the toxins which are present in the waste. The installation of the wastewater management system plays a significant role in this. From harvesting and managing rainwater & stormwater runoff to treating industrial discharge, wastewater management systems are involved in the proper disposal of various discharges. Sustainability is a key feature of wastewater management that has gained importance in recent years. Let us take a look at top three reasons why sustainable wastewater management is important:

1. Water-borne diseases are a major challenge for many countries in Asia and active efforts to eliminate this risk are a challenge for governments and people. Properly treated wastewater through a wastewater drainage system significantly reduces the risk of diseases acquired through the consumption of contaminated water. Untreated wastewater is a breeding ground for disease-causing microorganisms and with the presence of toxins, this water can also be poisonous for all living organisms that come in contact with it. Additionally, many waterborne diseases are eliminated through wastewater treatment by eliminating the pollutants in the water.

2. The used water that enters the sewage system through a network of wastewater pipes and waste pipe fittings is full of microbes, pollutants and toxic chemicals which can be detrimental to the overall quality of water. If this wastewater enters the waterbodies, it can cause pollution, not just contaminating the water and making it unfit for human consumption, but also leading to the death of aquatic organisms. Sustainable wastewater management can ensure that this wastewater is properly treated before being discharged to prevent pollution.

3. Given the water scarcity being faced in large parts of the world, which is also an acute crisis in South East Asia, sustainable wastewater management can ensure that most of the waste water can be purified and reused for human activities. Since farmers too rely on wastewater for irrigation, the treated water can be used for agricultural purposes to supply nutrient rich water to crops and ensure better yields. This water can also be used for landscaping and gardening of private and public gardens and parks.
