Abstract

Awareness and practice of sustainable wastewater management is increasingly important owing to high population growth, high urbanisation and need to reclaim resources from the waste streams. These contemporary engineering techniques have opened up creative technologies for sewage treatment and even circular economy paradigms, but these systems tend to resemble ancient precepts in the Vedic texts as well as Indian traditional philosophies. This will be a cross between new scientific developments and the philosophical and practical frameworks introduced in ancient Vedic literature. By examining classical works, hydrologist, modern-day processes and case studies, an integrated plan based around a heritage technology-integrated management is recommended for future water resources.
