Water is a source of life and energy, although millions of people worldwide are suffering with the shortage of fresh and clean drinking water. Rapid pace of industrialization, population expansion, and unplanned urbanization have largely contributed to the severe water pollution and surrounding soils. The main sources of freshwater pollution can be attributed to discharge of untreated sanitary and toxic industrial wastes, dumping of industrial effluent, and runoff from agricultural fields. It is well known that 70–80% of all illnesses in developing countries are related to water contamination, particularly susceptible for women and children [1]. Pollutants discharged in wastewaters can be toxic to aquatic life and cause natural waters to be unfit as potable water sources.
