Abstract: The biological process is considered the future for water reclamation, especially for developing countries. The main focus of this paper is to discuss on single and integrated treatment technologies that have been studied for all types of water resources, including surface water and ground water. These treatment technologies have the capability to treat contaminants in polluted water resources, such as heavy metals, natural organic matter, inorganic non-metallic matter, disinfection by-products, endocrine disrupting chemicals and microbial contaminants. The potential threats and challenges of using the biological process for safe water production also have been discussed, as this technology is a relatively new concept for safe water production, and there have been very limited studies performed in developing countries.
