Abstract
There is an unprecedented increase in per capita use of, especially water, during the past few decades. In view of the vital significance of water resources, unsustainable use of water resources would cause serious impediment to the growth of economy and standard of living worldwide. Therefore, new approaches for a sustainable utilization of water resources are of utmost importance for a secure future. In recent past, a number of new wastewater treatment technologies have been developed which paved the way for achieving the sustainability through judicious water resource utilization and management. The new wastewater treatment technology, especially the integration of urban water and waste management systems, is a promising approach for the improvement of sustainability of global water resources.
