      abstract = {The book is unique in highlighting the issue of wastewater  as one of the important environmental issues. The  uniqueness also lies in exploring the concepts of  converting waste into resources in the form of bioenergy,  biofertilizers through various biological methods. Given  the international scenario, the chapters of this book are  designed to include both anaerobic and aerobic methods of  resource recovery from the industrial wastewater. The book  is a step toward design with nature and the concept of  green chemistry. Waste menace is one of the most voiced and  unsolved problems in the entire world. The whole world is  facing the threat of water pollution, soil pollution/ land  pollution, odour pollution from the growing waste. Though  we find many missions and programs at international,  national, and regional level to solve the waste associated  issues, this is mostly in context with the solid fraction  of the waste. Very little is being done to manage the  liquid part of the waste or what we call the wastewater.  The conversion of wastewater has the potential to be  converted to energy in the form bioenergy, bio-fertilizers,  electricity, nutrient recovery, etc. The use of sludge as  biofertilizers solves the problem of sludge management on  the one hand and production of organic crops on the other.  The biological treatment methods like sludge treatment  gives the farmers the source of biofertilizers and organic  manure for the plants. In the present scenario, energy  crisis is also one of the issues that we are facing  particularly in context with the thermal power plants which  are environmentally highly polluting. Through various  techniques like microbial fuel cells or biohydrogen, we get  a source of cleaner energy. So, through this book, we try  to produce the content and information to give the audience  an understanding of the waste water as one of the  environmental and health issues and mitigation strategies.  The book gives a sufficient understanding of how waste can  be turned into a resource.},
