“…Wastewater generated consists of 70% of gray water which can be cost‐efficiently recycled. India is soon going to be a water‐stressed country as India is having an availability of less than 1700 cubic meters of water and only 1% of fresh water is available for human usage (Ram & Irfan, 2021).…”

In the advancing generation, commercialization and industrial development are on the incessant proliferation. Due to this unremitting need for development, the danger to the biological health of the environment is on the assurgent rise. Many “clean and green” industrial protocols have been generated and taken into purview but has been ineffective in keeping abreast with the ever‐growing pace of environmental threats. Technology in today's world has been the game changer in revolutionizing the way humans live their lives today but at the same time, has also become the greatest source of threat to the very sustainability of the planet. Thus, newer technological enhancements have been initiated to compensate for the harm to the environment. Of these, green and sustainable nanotechnological methodology and tools to be used as zero waste tools have been developed to efficiently beat the crisis of the hour. For example, the development of various nano‐based zero‐waste tools to the introduction of nanotechnology in various industries like automobiles, water, agriculture, and so on, has changed the way sustainable development has been adopted. This article aims to enhance the success of nanotechnology in the various sustainable developments done in industrial fields to cope up with the need of a “clean and green” environment.

“…A precautionary measure to mitigate the anticipated water crisis in South Asia, as evident by exacerbated water stress in India, 128 is to shift focus toward RW reuse. However, due to various challenges (as discussed in section 4) in the South Asian region, awareness programs about RW reuse and the reuse projects fail to succeed even after much investment.…”

“…Systems thinking has its roots in von Bertalanffy's (1971) General Systems Theory and Holling's (1973) work on ecological system resilience, and has evolved to understand complex systems since 1960s. It can be viewed as a language of communicating processes and interrelationships to aid effective decision-making processes (Ram and Irfan, 2021). There are many different systems thinking approaches, with system dynamics being particularly influential in the development of social hydrological models.…”
