This study assesses the environmental impact of integrated water supply and sanitation management with a focus on wastewater and rainwater treatment. The study uses an integrated methodology including comparative data analysis, evaluation of water treatment technologies and environmental modeling. The results show that the integration of different treatment technologies such as physico-chemical and biological processes significantly improves water quality, making it suitable for reuse or safe discharge into ecosystems. The study emphasizes the effectiveness of these technologies in reducing environmental pollution, especially in urban areas. In addition, the analysis demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of integrated water management approaches that reduce water consumption and treatment costs, while emphasizing the importance of complying with water quality and environmental regulations. The study also identifies the need for further technological and infrastructural innovations to improve the efficiency of water supply and sanitation systems in response to climate change and urbanization. These findings contribute to the development of sustainable water management strategies that minimize environmental impacts and promote long-term sustainability in urban and rural settings.
