Hello!
Water is the foundation of life, and its sustainable management is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. As a Master’s student specializing in Water and Wastewater Engineering, my academic and professional pursuit is commited to unraveling the intricacies of water resource management, advancing wastewater treatment solutions, and promoting environmental sustainability.
This blog is a space where I share insights, research, and practical knowledge about water and wastewater treatment, innovative engineering solutions, and the broader field of environmental engineering. Whether you’re a student, a professional in the field, or simply someone passionate about sustainability, I hope to provide valuable content that inspires, educates, and sparks meaningful conversations about the future of our planet’s most vital resource.
Join me as we dive into the fascinating world of water engineering, explore cutting-edge technologies, and work toward a more sustainable and equitable future.

- The Path of Hazardous WasteHazardous wastes are wastes that could cause harm to life when disposed of improperly. Hazardous wastes can readily catch fire under standard conditions, like oil-based paints or gasoline. They can be corrosive, reactive and toxic when ingested on there is close contact. Imagine a can of spray paint or insecticide… Read more: The Path of Hazardous Waste
- Leakages in pipeline networks: do they really matter?A leaky tap, an ill-fitting pipe connection, a broken faucet – compared to industries and agricultural farms, the water loss is approximately negligible – so, does it really matter on the large scale of things? About 126 billion cubic metres of water is lost due to these “negligible” losses yearly… Read more: Leakages in pipeline networks: do they really matter?
- Are we running out of water?Water is said to be abundant in nature. Despite its abundance, freshwater is only 2.5% of the available water, with 68% locked up in ice and glaciers and 30% below the ground. Although water is continually regenerated through the water cycle year after year, the quantity of water we have… Read more: Are we running out of water?
- Different colours for hydrogen gas
Although hydrogen is abundant in nature, laboratory production of hydrogen gas is required. Using the right type of hydrogen gas can help achieve net zero. Energy gotten from hydrogen gas is the only available energy that produces water, electricity, and heat when consumed in a fuel cell. - Plastic pollution
Plastics are recognized to be non-biodegradable and so incapable of decomposition. Plastic may only be reused, recycled, or thrown away. Plastic pollution stems from unregulated plastic use. Plastics that are improperly disposed of are a nuisance to life on land and in water. Plastics, due to their properties, enter the seas and landfills and remain there for millions of years, occupying space and posing a hazard to aquatic life.

About Me
Hello, my name is Jesutofunmi. My passion for environmental health began during the COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria, where I developed a keen interest in understanding and addressing environmental challenges. This interest deepened during my final year of university while researching a thesis topic. Through extensive reading of journal articles on wastewater treatment and environmental engineering, I developed a strong fascination with the field. Since then, my enthusiasm for water resource management, wastewater treatment, and environmental engineering has continued to grow, driving my commitment to contributing to sustainable solutions in this vital area.
