In the realm of water supply and management residues arising from treatment plants (WTP), an essential challenge lies in understanding characterising sludge, assessing whether these characteristics impact sludge dewatering, step to reduce costs wastes. This review focuses specifically on characterisation properties relevant dewatering performance, addressing underexplored aspect within recent literature plant (WTS). Unlike prior studies, which predominantly focus reuse after this systematically examines direct correlations interdependencies between outcomes, gaps literature. A bibliometric analysis global WTS research revealed annual average fewer than 14 publications since 1957. Keywords related are notably scarce connection with 'dewatering', highlighting a specific gap that aims address. categorises into 'micro-properties' 'macro-properties', providing detailed descriptions each. The latter primarily influence generally unmeasured WTPs due inherent difficulties their determination. However, it's possible derive macro-properties micro-properties, establishing relationship subsequently selecting appropriate technique. Main findings underscore proportionality between: viscosity (micro) capillary suction time – CST (macro), solid concentration SC CST; inverse resistance filtration SRF (macro). These contribute refined parameters affecting processes, supporting further focused enhancing efficiency management.
