What are the Challenges in Managing Sewage and Wastewater?

Managing sewage and wastewater poses several challenges, including the high cost of treatment infrastructure, the need for skilled personnel, and the disposal of sludge generated during treatment. Additionally, aging infrastructure in many urban areas can lead to leaks and overflows, further complicating the issue. Climate change and increased urbanization also exacerbate the problem by increasing the volume and variability of wastewater.
