Abstract

Providing clean and affordable drinking water is one of the modern-times challenges. The world’s  growing population causes water scarcity, and pollutants contaminate whatever water sources are  left. Nanotechnology has provided innovative solutions for water purification. This chapter reviews  nanotechnology-enabled water-treatment processes, showing how they transform our water supply  and wastewater treatment.
