Introduction
It is estimated that 10–20 million people die every year due to waterborne and nonfatal
infection causes death of more than 200 million people every year. Every day, about 5,000–
6,000 children die due to the water-related problem of diarrhea. There are currently more
than 0.78 billion people around the world who do not have access to safe water resources
resulting in major health problems. Nanotechnology has been considered effective in solving
water problems related to quality and quantity. Nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes
(CNTs) and dendrimers) are contributing to the development of more efficient treatment
processes among the advanced water systems. There are many aspects of nanotechnology to
address the multiple problems of water quality in order to ensure the environmental stability.
This study provides a unique perspective on basic research of nanotechnology for
water/wastewater treatment and reuse by focusing on challenges of future research
