Overview

Water treatment is the engineered and natural processing of water to remove or neutralize physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants and render it suitable for drinking, agriculture, or safe discharge. Conventional steps include coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection, while wastewater treatment adds biological and physicochemical removal of organic load and nutrients; advanced methods extend to adsorptive media, radiation-based processes, and reactive materials. Effective treatment protects public health by interrupting waterborne disease transmission and protects ecosystems by reducing pollutant discharge. Research in this area evaluates municipal decision-making strategies to combat waterborne disease, the use of metallic iron for water treatment, and the design of aerated lagoons for dairy industry wastewater. Studies assess physicochemical and bacteriological water quality from boreholes and household and public sources, attenuation of cyanobacterial microcystins using electron-beam and gamma radiation, and the use of bioindicators and pesticide-impact assessment to gauge contamination. Related contributions link inadequate water quality to diarrheal disease and undernutrition and examine the toxicological effects of water-associated chemicals. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on water and wastewater treatment technologies, water quality monitoring, and their public health and environmental outcomes.
