ABSTRACT:
Engineering science, scientific vision and humankind are today in the path deep scientific rejuvenation and scientific steadfastness. Circular economy and sustainable development are the utmost needs of the hour. Industrial ecology and circular economy are two opposite sides of the visionary coin. Drinking water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment are the pillars of United Nations and World Sustainable Development Goals. The author with deft portrayal depicts the needs and necessities of water and wastewater treatment and sustainability. Science today has no answers to scientific intricasies of heavy metal groundwater contamination. This treatise deeply elucidates the recent advancements in the field of circular economy, environmental management and sustainable development. Surely and remarkably a new dawn of human civilization will emerge when scientists, engineers and policy makers across the globe takes concerted efforts in climate change mitigation and groundwater remediation.
