Abstract

Sustainable nanotechnology has made substantial contributions in providing contaminant-free water  to humanity. In this Review, we present the compelling need for providing access to clean water  through nanotechnology-enabled solutions and the large disparities in ensuring their  implementation. We also discuss the current nanotechnology frontiers in diverse areas of the clean  water space with an emphasis on applications in the field and provide suggestions for future  research. Extending the vision of sustainable and affordable clean water to environment in general,  we note that cities can live and breathe well by adopting such technologies. By understanding the  global environmental challenges and exploring remedies from emerging nanotechnologies,  sustainability in clean water can be realized. We suggest specific pointers and quantify the impact of  such technologies
