Abstract

Owing to the importance of water and increasing water crises, wastewater analysis has become extremely important. For water to be usable, there are certain physical, chemical and biological criteria which need to be fulfilled, such as the concentration of elements for drinking as well as for agricultural purposes. Quality of water is affected by natural and human interferences and the major factor is pollution created by human. The wastewater from the population if handled and treated with care should be able to promote the sustainable use of water and make the water available for our upcoming generations. Countries are stressing on water management and have certain specifications for the water being potable. The water–energy nexus describes the relationship between water and energy wherein wastewater can act as a reservoir of renewable energy leading a way towards sustainability. This chapter elaborates the energy–water nexus, strategies towards wastewater remediation and the technological interventions in wastewater application for irrigation.
