Abstract

Due to the rapid development of recent society, the amount of pollutants has become larger and larger, especially the amount of wastewater, which has become a crucial challenge around the world. It is significant to understand the paramount importance of efficient sewage drainage and wastewater treatment systems in safeguarding human health and ecological balance. This study mainly focuses on the progress in sewage drainage and wastewater treatment infrastructure and then shifts to emphasize the strategic implementation of sustainable solutions. This paper explores the design and operational aspects of advanced systems, including Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and innovative technologies like green roofs and membrane bioreactors (MBRs), used in Hong Kong as a model. Apart from acknowledging the challenges behind such systems, such as knowledge gaps, financial barriers, and technical complexities, this study proposes solutions like educational initiatives and financial support. With the integration of innovative technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), these systems can effectively enhance their efficiency and sustainability. This futuristic approach aims to build urban resilience and guarantee effective sewage management, thereby mitigating environmental pollution and fostering a healthier, sustainable urban landscape.
