Efficiency and sustainability have been widely investigated in water supply systems. This study evaluates reviews the energy consumption of conventional drinking treatment processes globally. By presenting quantifying unit per cubic meter treated across key process units such as coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, chemical disinfection, we provide insights into historical trends, operational benchmarks, opportunities for efficiency improvements. The review combines data from international case studies, peer-reviewed journal papers technical reports 2000–2024. Our findings confirm that systems are efficient compared to advanced while also highlighting auxiliary demands (e.g., pumping) offer potential further optimisation. Finally, paper discusses prospects integrating renewable sources, particularly solar power, enhance sustainability. form a solid foundation optimising existing guiding future investments infrastructure.

Carbon emissions accounting of wastewater treatment systems is essential for understanding their energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions. To overcome the inefficiencies high uncertainty traditional carbon emission methods in treatment, prediction software biological was developed. This system based on biochemical reactions that occur during processes classification sources within system. By utilizing stoichiometric relationships, a platform created using programming languages, such as Python. The used to calculate two typical urban plants Xi’an. results indicated oxidation ditches conventional demonstrated superior performance, with lower consumption total calculations also revealed septic tanks, which are critical components building drainage systems, frequently underestimated overlooked significant sources.
