Abstract :
Sustainable development highly depends on how we manage various parts of the
industry, and it plays a significant role in the sewage purge system to pay attention
to the clutch reducer elements. Complementary procedures and technologies are
needed to resolve water governance concerns, urging a rapid alteration of the
economics, engineering, and administration agendas to determine our generation's
water challenges. Ekbatan Wastewater Treatment Plant (EWTP) confronts several
problems that necessitate comprehensive and strategic planning and management.
An analysis of strength-weakness-opportunity-threat (SWOT) and quantitative
strategic planning matrix (QSPM) methods were used to investigate strategic
factors. For scoring the proposed strategies, a group of experts who are familiar
with environmental management was selected. Environmental factors were
recognized and investigated. According to experts' opinions, important and
unimportant factors were identified and prioritized. The most effective strategy to
further strengthen the current situation is "expanding the treatment plant activities
such as internal infrastructure and urban utilities to manage more waste."
