Abstract
The article examines the theoretical and applied aspects of wastewater generation, drainage, treatment, and discharge into water bodies under conditions of increasing anthropogenic pressure on aquatic ecosystems. It provides a systematic analysis of wastewater generation sources, their quantitative and qualitative characteristics, modern transportation and treatment technologies, and environmental requirements for discharging treated water into water bodies. The study substantiates the need to implement integrated water management solutions based on the principles of a circular economy and sustainable development. Particular attention is paid to the application of best available technologies, the digitalization of monitoring processes, and the minimization of environmental risks.
