Surface Water Pollution Detection and Management Using Nano Technological Applications

Human activities such as the growth of urban and suburban regions, industry, urbanization, and agriculture make surface water very vulnerable to contamination. In reality, the most prevalent disposal locations for wastewater, which may contain germs, pharmaceutical waste, heavy metals, and dangerous contaminants, are sources of surface water. The Malaysian water quality standards and index were utilized as a reference benchmark for clean water. New nanomaterial-based approaches for water filtration and purification are attracting attention as more efficient ways for water pollution detection and treatment when compared to traditional wastewater treatment methods. Surface water is the primary source of water consumption for people, animals, and plants, prompting the usage of nanotechnology technologies to reduce pollution and quality. This article looked at how nanotechnology may be used to detect and remediate surface water contamination to ensure the longterm viability of a green environment. This study also discussed the use of nanotechnology in wastewater treatment, including Nano-filtration membranes, photocatalysis, plasma discharge, and Nano-adsorbents, as well as the use of Nano-sensors to monitor surface water quality. Because Nano-adsorbents have shown extraordinary effectiveness in the removal of pollutants in wastewater, including them into traditional technology may improve treatment efficiency. This review looked at the problems, opportunities, and future of nanotechnology in wastewater treatment. The findings provided in this work may open up new avenues for research into nanotechnology's potential uses for future surface water treatment.
