Abstract Background Water contamination has become one of the most challenging problems to clean water supply and infrastructure in twenty-first century. Accordingly, access is limited by negative impacts climate change pollutants varying health risks. Overtime, global population experienced an exponential growth, which put pressure on resources. At least 3 billion people globally rely whose quality largely unknown. Main body abstract The Nile basin, found East Central Africa, covers 11 countries including DRC, Tanzania, South Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rwanda. River flows through it before draining its into Mediterranean Sea Egypt. was pivotal for ancient civilization Sudan Egypt provision fertile soil irrigation, drinking, fishing, animal husbandry, channel transport modern times, top historical utilization, generation hydroelectric power leading conflict cooperation over shared Literature basin summarized, using traditional review method point out gaps, compare with other areas suggest recommendations based findings this study. been contaminated numerous such as toxic heavy metals organic contaminants, therefore pushing resident above World organization (WHO) acceptable guidelines drinking water, agricultural aquatic life support.

The stress of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) discharging to water bodies the environment due increased industrialization has reduced availability clean water. This poses a potential health hazard animals human life because contamination is great issue climate, plants, humans, aquatic habitats. Pharmaceutical compounds are quantified in concentrations ranging from ng/Lto μg/L environments worldwide. According (Alsubih et al., 2022), carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, Lutvastatin, ciprofloxacin, lorazepam were 616–906 ng/L, 16,532–21635 694–2068 734–1178 2742–3775 ng/L respectively. Protecting preserving our must be well-driven by all sectors sustain development. Various methods have been utilized eliminate emerging pollutants, such as adsorption biological advanced oxidation processes. These their benefits drawbacks removal pharmaceuticals. Successful wastewater treatment can save bodies; integrating green initiatives into main purposes actor firms, combined with continually periodic awareness current implications environmental/water pollution, will play major role conservation. article reviews key publications on adsorption, biological, processes used remove environment. It also sheds light capability methods, efficacy concentration removal. A research gap identified for researchers explore order problem associated wastes. Therefore, future study should focus combining an excellent way products, even at low concentrations. Biological ideal circumstances microbial that enable simultaneous effects diverse efficiency.
