| dc.description.abstract | Water availability for human consumption is largely declining, despite the fact that it is a basic requirement of life. Water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and many are polluted by anthropogenic sources such as industrial effluents, agricultural waste, and household waste. As a result, before discharging wastewater into a natural water body, it must be treated to remove various contaminants found in the wastewater, such as floc, organic carbon, nutrients, inorganic salts, and heavy metals. This chapter briefly discusses the impact and significance of sanitation on public and environmental health; biofilm in wastewater treatment; the formation of polymeric matrix (biofilm) in pipelines in relation to physical, chemical, and biological processes; and the use of microbial biofilms in wastewater treatment and the agricultural sector, as well as methods for mediating biofilm growth by the choice of pipe material used and the disinfectant system employed. | |
