Abstract

WRAP UP AND CONCLUSIONS

  • Antimicrobial Resistance is an emerging threat – Impacts ecosystem damage and human health - environment and climate plays a critical role
  • Wastewater, soils and polluted waters are hotspots for AMR development and spread
  • Water quality modelling can help understand the complex processes and mitigate health risks
  • We need cost effective combination of solutions – AMR Stewardship, Treatment technologies, Effective management solutions, Pollution mitigation strategies, etc. –For that water quality modelling plays a critical role in developing scenarios and management solutions.
