Abstract : Urbanization creates water sustainability issues, which increases water consumption. For instance, in the
Asia–Pacific areas, water consumption per day per person ranges from 250–300 litres, whereas in developing countries it is
projected to range from 60–200 litres person per day, the increasing urbanization which leads to higher water consumption and
the related demand for sanitation services dwelling large strain on water resources and infrastructure. The wastewater
treatment plant is also compromised as cities expand because the infrastructure becomes unable to deal with the growing load
of wastewater generated. Moreover, disposal of untreated sewage to water bodies is not acceptable and even transport over
long distances through aging infrastructure taking the danger of leakage and contaminate groundwater due to leachate. The
paper review four major challenges to providing safe water and sanitation on a global basis: (1) Climate change, (2) Population
growth, (3) water pollution, (4) Rapid urbanisation growth
Keywords- Water, Wastewater, Infrastructure, Sustainability, Developing countries.
