The rapid expansion of both the global economy and human population has led to a shortage water resources suitable for direct consumption. As result, remediation will inexorably become primary focus on scale. Microalgae can be grown in various types wastewaters (WW). They have high potential remove contaminants from effluents industries urban areas. This review focuses recent advances WW through microalgae cultivation. Attention already been paid microalgae-based wastewater treatment (WWT) due its low energy requirements, strong ability thrive under diverse environmental conditions, transform nutrients into high-value compounds. It turned out that WWT is an economical sustainable solution. Moreover, different toxins are removed by biosorption, bioaccumulation, biodegradation processes. Examples agricultural runoffs textile pharmaceutical industrial effluents. mitigate carbon dioxide make use micronutrients present paper highlights application pollutants commonly mechanisms, simultaneous resource recovery, efficient co-culturing systems along with bottlenecks prospects.

Abstract The divergence between agricultural water use and the annual supply of resources (water gap) has been increasing for decades. forecast is that this gap will continue to widen, compromising security a large share global population. On one hand, increase in demand attributed an ever-growing population that, addition, adopting high-water consumption per capita lifestyle (e.g., meat-rich diet, increased biofuels irrigated agriculture). other climate change aridification spatio-temporal heterogeneity precipitation worldwide. particularly acute drylands, where development food based on massive exploitation resources, groundwater. Here we analyze mechanisms underlying gap, which mainly driven by agriculture, suggest suitable solutions can help close it. Using causal diagrams, show how generates different demands create prevailing supply-side cannot close. Indeed, it widening over years because grown exponentially. This behaviour explained series necessary understand realize complexity scarcity problems. For solving propose exemplify eight lines action be combined tailored each territory. Our analyses corroborate urgent need plan integral management avoid widespread scenarios under future climatic conditions.
