description The main aim of the present study was to characterize the quality of the sewage leaving the Arad Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant and highlight the emergence and importance of water reclamation, recycling, and reuse as vital components in integrated aquatic resources management for further reuse. The sewer quality assessment was performed for the period 2018 - 2021. For this purpose, the Global Pollution Index (𝐼ீ௉∗) was used to determine the degree of pollution of the wastewater influent and effluent from the Arad treatment plant during the mentioned period. These results on the quality of incoming and outgoing sewerage can contribute to developing a management plan for protecting and properly managing water resources.
