Wastewater is water that has been used for cleaning, flushing, or in an industrial process and hence includes waste products. Water that has been contaminated by various sources like home, agriculture, industries, or commercial use is referred to as wastewater. As a result, the composition of all wastewater is constantly changing and highly varied, making a single definition of the term impossible to come up with.

- Module 1: Introduction To WastewaterWastewater is water that has been used for cleaning, flushing, or in an industrial process and hence includes waste products. Water that has been contaminated by various sources like home, agriculture, industries, or commercial use is referred to as wastewater.1
- Module 2: Sources of WastewaterThe water that is disposed of from homes and workplaces is known as domestic wastewater. It was once known as sewage. Domestic sources of wastewater are toilets, sinks, showers, and washing machines.1
- Module 3: Wastewater Management TechniquesThe Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals prioritizes achieving sustainability in wastewater management. Overall, achieving more sustainable wastewater management techniques will need a holistic and balanced approach to assessing the overall sustainability of a management plan.1
- Module 4: Biological Methods of Wastewater ManagementWastewater is treated using a procedure that combines biological methods of wastewater management with secondary sedimentation. Microbes (aerobically or anaerobically), algae, and fungus use the organic content in the settled wastewater in a properly built bioreactor under aerobic or anaerobic conditions (aerobically).1
- Module 5: Physicochemical Methods of Wastewater ManagementPhysicochemical methods of wastewater management are used for pre-treatment, final treatment, and specific treatment for wastewater reuse as process water. Wastewater contains particles of varying sizes.1
- Module 6: Tertiary Methods of Wastewater ManagementMost wastewater treatment systems have at least two primary and secondary treatment procedures and some extra preparatory approaches. Tertiary wastewater management methods are the third degree of treatment that is more sophisticated and severe.1
