Sanitation for Unserved Populations: Technologies, Implementation Challenges, and OpportunitiesAnnual Review of Environment and Resources, 33
[The extreme burden of the mankind on the earth is instigating variety of environmental changes worldwide, which in turn directly affects the safe and protected water for the lives in the world. In this chapter, we focused on the main groups of the marine contaminants, their effects on mankind and methodologies to diminish the pollution of the ground and drinking water resources. The pollution caused by the heavy metal and metalloids is also highlighted as they pose a severe threat to all life forms in the environment owing to its lethal effects. Some aspects of waterborne diseases and the basic requirements for the enriched sanitation in developing countries are also discussed. The chapter also reports the current scientific improvements to deal with the variety of pollutants. This chapter will therefore help the readers to understand the issues and challenges that the human kind is facing in dealing with water quality issues.]
