Abstract Fast-Track Water Quality Management (FTWQM) is an ongoing quick action suggested to control the pollution within a certain watershed. watershed is the smallest hydrological management unit through which whatever is dumped in upstream ends up downstream.Two different programs have been implemented based on both conventional and unconventional methods in order to achieve an immediate partial improvement of environmental status and present water quality for better reuse practices. The first onis to set the best prioritization scenario of building, upgrading and upscaling of wastewater treatment plants, while the second one is by applying bioengineering technology through exploiting the natural capacity of bacteria in improving water quality.The first program results proved that the intervention by upgrading and/or upscaling the existing wastewater treatment plants is much more feasible compared to building new ones. In the second program when there are no treatment facilities or the treatment was done partially and pollution spills to waterbody,fast corrective action by applying bio-based material in-stream, shows improvement in oxidative capacity of waterbody |
