Nanotechnology Use in Water Purification for Sustainable Development of Middle East

Abstract

Growing world population and increasing demands have put considerable pressure on natural resources and the environment. As a result of this situation, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been established to safeguard rights and ensure that everyone's fundamental needs are met by 2030. It is one of the goals of the program to ensure that clean water and sanitation are accessible to all. In this review, we focus on the water crisis in the Middle East, a region with limited water resources and a growing population. The use of nanotechnology as a transformative solution for water purification and sanitation is proposed in this paper. In addition to addressing the water challenges in the Middle East, this technology can also contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals' vision of providing universal, affordable, and sustainable access to clean water.
