Abstract:

Today, water resources are on unprecedented pressure. The global population is growing fast; it has been estimated that with current practices, the world will face a 40% shortfall between forecast demand and available supply of water by 2030. Indeed, while the demand for water resources is increasing rapidly around the world due to population growth and climate change, the supply is very limited. Although 72% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, less than 3% of this water is suitable for uses such as irrigation. Thus, the treatment of effluents from municipal sources to a good level of purification becomes important by developing new solutions for the recovery and reuse of resources, which allows them to be reused in agriculture (sustainable agriculture), and even serve for recharging groundwater and watering and maintaining green spaces. This research is structured around two parts: Developing an eco-innovative process and considering wastewater as an essential resource for achieving a sustainable circular economy and on the other hand, on the promising and potential roles of biotechnology and green chemistry in treatment and reuse of domestic wastewater for irrigation. The applications of Biotechnology and green chemistry by using anaerobic digestion, phytorestoration and photocatalysis for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment.
