Wastewater, often also called sewage, is the polluted water that is formed as a result of human activities or rainwater runoff. Historically, such water was released into naturally occurring water bodies without much treatment. However, with increasing population and industrialisation, the pollution caused by human activities has increased. Thus, it has now become necessary to treat wastewater before it is released into the environment to avoid diseases and harm to humans as well as other organisms.
The process of wastewater treatment involves removing all the physical and chemical pollutants in the water to make it safe to use. This process protects the environment and reduces the strain that continuous human use creates on waterbodies.
The following are the leading companies providing wastewater treatment services to protect the environment and ecology of India.
