Abstract: Clean drinking water and good toilet facilities are important for our health and wellbeing. Sadly, around 2.2 billion people worldwide do not have clean drinking water or good toilet facilities. We need to work together to fix this problem. Because of this, the United Nations created a big goal called Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. This goal involves understanding all the water sources on Earth and using them smartly. It also highlights the importance of being aware of water wasted, especially in areas with little water available, and finding solutions for water shortages. In this article, you will learn about wastewater treatment technology, in which dirty water is cleaned so we can reuse it. The goal is to create a nonstop cycle, reusing water repeatedly, similar to how nature works. We can care for people and the planet by being smart about water use.
