1. Introduction
The necessity of clean water has led to several problems starting with water scarcity despite the fact
it is one of the most fundamental needs of humans and the economy. These are issues that have
emerged with increasing populations of the world as well as increased urbanization. Today, water
problems, including scarcity, poor water quality, and inefficient water management, are issues of
concern to both the developed and developing world. The rapidly growing urban population and the
population in general is a challenge for the facilities and putting pressure on the water facilities
leading to issues such as wastage of water, water pollution, and fluctuating pH levels and mineral
content on the existing water supplies.
Highlights the increasing global water security challenges due to factors like population
growth and climate change, emphasizing the need for advanced water management solutions. [1].
The problems are not only environmental but are major causes of health problems to the
society as well. Because factors such as industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and poor treatment
of sewage and other wastes have been traced to contamination of water and quality deterioration,
they have clearly been associated with numerous public health calamities. Some of the effects include
thyroid problems due to excessive fluorides or iodine in the water, some gastrointestinal sicknesses
from bacterial and chemical contaminants and chronic non-communicable diseases from bad water
consumption. Since water is one of the most basic needs of the people, its mismanagement can result
