  • Abstract:
  • Pure water is one of the most essential components of the environment for supporting living things, including humans. Rapid population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and subsequent development works are causing more contaminants to enter the environment, including water. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) were adopted by United Nations (UN) since the year 2015. To achieving agendum of 2030 for future environmental sustainability and sustainable development, the pure water is one of the focusing areas of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Water also interlinked issue of other SDGs such as no hunger, sustainable production and consumption, reduction of poverty, health and life on land etc. Apart from these direct connections there are many more ancillary linkages between the water quality and sustainable development. Some previous studies have been reported to accounting and realize the connections between water quality and all the SDGs. This review aimed to finds, how water quality is important for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) for the future environment sustainability. The questions of this study were aimed to find out the nexus between water pollution and SDGs.
