“…However, low-income countries, especially those in SSA, are in the infancy stage of wastewater treatment and management, due to underdeveloped infrastructure and financial constraints [20,102,103]. The few countries, such as South Africa, that do have wastewater treatment and management facilities, often fail to meet the minimum effluent standards [104]. On the other hand, some countries in SSA do informally use reclaimed water for agricultural and other purposes without a thorough grasp of the environmental and health impacts [102].…”

Developing a sustainable water infrastructure entails the planning and management of water systems to ensure the availability, access, quality, and affordability of water resources in the face of social, environmental, and economic challenges. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is currently in an era where it must make significant changes to improve the sustainability of its water infrastructure. This paper reviews the factors affecting water infrastructure sustainability and the interventions taken globally to address these challenges. In parallel, it reflects on the relevance of these interventions to the context of Sub-Saharan Africa through the lens of the STEEP (societal, technological, economic, environmental, political) framework. The paper goes on to recommend an extended analysis that captures additional critical dimensions when applying the concept of sustainability. Furthermore, this paper sheds light on the practice of sustainable development and fosters a deeper understanding of the issues, thereby forming the basis for further research and the development of sustainable and resilient solutions for water infrastructure and water asset management more generally.

La creciente preocupación por la disponibilidad del agua a nivel local, regional y mundial para satisfacer las diversas necesidades humanas hace necesario el análisis e implementación de estrategias, así como la adopción de prácticas y la superación de barreras que garanticen el derecho a este recurso vital y su sostenibilidad en el tiempo para garantizar la permanencia de futuras generaciones. La economía circular hasta el momento es el único paradigma para la economía actual (extraer, procesar y desechar) tanto en manufactura como en consumo que se sigue actualmente. En muchos países subdesarrollados como lo es el caso de México aún se presentan diversas barreras en la transformación a procesos de economía circular y en el caso del agua que es uno de los principales recursos naturales y eje de las actividades humanas no es la excepción. Este trabajo de investigación, es el resultado de una revisión sistemática de literatura y de una encuesta de estudiantes de nivel superior. Pretende brindar un panorama actual e informativo a esta problemática, su relación con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible, las barreras y perspectivas a considerar desde el punto de vista de los autores para alcanzar un desarrollo sostenible, mediante acciones que permitan una mejor gestión del agua, que en otros países ya se han probado y que pueden ayudar a terminar con costumbres que impactan negativamente al medioambiente mediante la adaptación de prácticas que ayuden a minimizar la contaminación y la degradación del planeta.
