  • Why is the wastewater treatment plant in Iran poorly treated?
  • As can be seen in Table 2, the use of conventional treatment processes, lack of application of advanced technologies, improper operation, skill-shortage of labor, and not updated wastewater discharge standards can be the main reasons for the poorly treated effluent quality in the municipal wastewater treatment plant in Iran.
  • What are the barriers to the municipal wastewater treatment industry in Iran?
  • Herein, major barriers to the municipal wastewater treatment industry in Iran were identified in four key groups, including barriers related to wastewater treatment plants, environmental and standards, economic aspects, and treated wastewater reuse, as follows:
  • Which sectors can be used for wastewater reuse in Iran?
  • In general, Iran has three major sectors where wastewater reuse can be utilized, including for agricultural, industrial, and municipal uses. To evaluate this more precisely, the quantity and quality of effluent in each sector according to government statistics and predictions in the year 2021 (1,400 in terms of solar year) are presented.
  • Is there a roadmap for the development of wastewater treatment technology in Iran?
  • The present work is a part of the national project of roadmap for the development of wastewater treatment technology in Iran, which has been completed by the authors themselves, and financially supported by Iran’s NWWEC (project code: 37796). Supplementary file 1 contains Table S1.
