Abstract
As urbanization increases day by day, the demand for water also rises, this growing consumption leads to the overuse of water resources, consequently, the quality of available water continues to decline. Severe water shortages and contamination have become major concerns. To overcome this problem government of different countries launches various preventive measure, one of them is the treatment of contaminant water trough Sewage Treatment Plants (STP). This paper revealed the thorough idea of the performance evaluation of sewage treatment plant by analyzing data of different study conducted in different countries. In this review several research papers has been evaluated to conclude the various aspects of different STP’s along with various factors affected them and various problems associated with this technology. This review recommended that the STP is proved to be the most powerful technology which helps to overcome from the polluted water problems. This study further recommends that, alongside the implementation of these technologies, government intervention through strategic policy measures is essential to effectively mitigate the issue.
