**9. Feasibility of SDG 6 in India**

Innovation, technology, and materials engineering advancements offer tremendous opportunities to accelerate the implementation of SDG 6. Science solely, however, cannot tackle all of the country's water-related issues. To accomplish SDG 6, three important pillars have been devised which includes sustainable management, science, and commerce. The economic approach towards freshwater scarcity, opportunities, and pollution cost has been given a little value. Due to its scarcity, water must be regarded as a non - renewable resource and its utilization should be controlled keeping in mind the sustainable approach.

In addition, the traditional approach to water management and architecture has to be reassessed. India's water technologists must design strategies which reuse sewage and other wastewater and differentiate between the water resource coming from different sources, expenditures, qualities, and dependability, each utilized for specific requirements and objectives. This necessitates a variety of local suppliers as well as the use of strategic planning, circularity, decentralization, and potential for eco-friendly alternatives.

In order to take connections, unpredictability, and transitions into account, management of water resources must be flexible and interconnected. Using integrated strategies makes it simpler to identify market, mitigate them, and comprehend unexpected consequences. They also enable integrated water infrastructure by drawing together numerous sectors and partners at all levels, spanning between regional to cross-border [30].

## **10. Conclusions**

Management of sewage runoffs is a topic which is becoming ever more relevant. Developed economies are now stretching the purview of wastewater management to incorporate the elimination of trace nutrients and organic compounds in addition to the elimination of carbon - containing contaminants. Eventually, treatment facilities must provide discharge that would be suitable for direct water consumption. Considering the potential of recent technological advances, this seems to be feasible and will therefore spread across the globe. It's indeed crucial to comprehend the physical and chemical properties of wastewater in order to devise an adequate sewage treatment system, select a suitable approach, establish minimum standards for the remnants, ascertain the degree of assessment required to verify the system, and choose the byproducts to be assessed based on the level of toxicity.

As a nation with growing water issues and ever-growing population, India must reconsider its current assumptions and how we perceive and use water in order to meet the targets regarding SDG 6. We cannot continue to think of safe drinking water as something of an excessively abundant and affordable resource. We will be required to employ a considerable measure of creativity, analysis, and ingenuity to come up

with solutions that preserve and design water resources environmentally, while also attempting to utilize water efficiently and equally. This same outcome of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) calls for sustainable improvement in the fields of clean water supply and basic sanitation, that further necessitates proper scrutiny and understanding of societal and economic need of potable water at the nation's level in a manner that ought not to propagate adverse environmental consequences on the regional and global levels.
