“Emphasis on Water Conservation and Wastewater Treatment from Various Governments”
- Waste conservation and wastewater management are the major challenges faced by the government in tackling water shortage and water supply in urban areas. Wastewater, if not treated properly, is the main source of water pollution
- Since the adaptation of wastewater treatment, the quality of European rivers, lakes and seas has greatly improved
- European Union countries have set up challenge systems and wastewater treatment plants with the bits of help of European Union funding. There has been a high level of compliance with the directive across the European Union, with 98% of the wastewater collected and 92% satisfactorily treated
- For instance, in February 2022, Design Build Network reported that the project name Osijek Wastewater Treatment Plants- USD 95 million. The project involved the construction of a wastewater plant with the capacity to treat 40,000 cubic meters of water every day, which will serve 170,000 people in Osijek, Croatia. The construction work started in 2021 and is expected to be completed in 2024. The purpose of this project is to enhance the purity of water available in Osijek and to improve the health standard of the people due to the health issues faced by the people due to impure water
- With government involvement and interest in making and maintaining a sustainable environment and making our earth a greener place, wastewater treatment is one of the focuses to achieve this task
