On the other hand, the wastewater arising from the use of water is an even more significant problem when they are discharged into re- ceiving water bodies. To cope with this problem and protect the well-being of our environment, various types of wastewater treatment systems; primary, secondary, tertiary have to be installed for the point sources of pol- lutants. Technological advances make it possible to im- plement different types of wastewater systems to mini- mize their polluting effects and moreover, the most re- cent reuse technologies enable to establish advanced systems for reusing wastewater. On one hand, humans pollute their environment through their activities and on the other hand, they work hard and spent time and money in installing wastewater treatment plants to protect their environment. The efforts of the humans in keeping their water resources clean usually become insufficient espe- cially in developing and under-developed countries. Among the reasons, one can address the high investment and operational costs of wastewater treatment plants, the institutional and legal constraints faced in the countries, lack of receiving water and discharge standards, and lack of monitoring and control of the already established plants. Water is for sure the only common and global issue that interests all the living bodies of the world including hu- mans, flora and fauna. Without water, survival is not pos- sible. It is among
