Optimizing Various Aspects of Wastewater Treatment with AI: Case of Tanjombato (Antananarivo – Madagascar)

Whether used for industrial, domestic or agricultural purposes, water is both highly coveted and polluted. Water pollution is a major environmental problem. In order to protect the environment, it is essential to treat wastewater before it is discharged into the environment. One reason for this is that the soil is not capable purifying all the pollutants present in our wastewater. In most developing countries, lack of sanitation is a major problem. Like Madagascar, we are well aware of the inadequacy of pumping stations for wastewater treatment. This study was carried out in Antananarivo, more precisely in the commune of Tanjombato, located in the south of the capital. Due to demographic growth, with a population density of 11,443 inhabitants per km², increasing industrial, agricultural needs, and climate change, the overall demand for water is rising. The industries, enterprises in this study generate large volumes of wastewater on a daily basis. In most cases, this wastewater is discharged untreated into the environment. As a result, water-related diseases are the second leading cause of death on the island. In addition to its status as waste, wastewater is now seen as a raw material that should not be neglected. Considered as resource, it is increasingly attracting the attention of public authorities and scientific researchers alike. The safety and quality of water intended for various uses is an important issue that threatens human life. The loss of millions of human and animal lives is due to the use of polluted water. With this in mind, the World Health Organization, national and international regulations have established standards and recommendations to prevent the presence of microorganisms and undesirable chemical substances in drinking water. Raw water, whether groundwater or surface water, does not always meet the required criteria in terms of chemical and microbiological quality, which means that it needs to be properly treated before consumption. This research will highlight one of our latest study in Madagascar. It's provides deep insight and case studies on the successful application from the innovative new technologies. By using AI (Machine Learning algorithms), searchers can optimize various aspects of wastewater treatment including pollutant detection, process control, resource recovery, real-time forecasting models, water quality by eliminating conventional pollutants, the preventive approach: monitoring, control and evaluation.
