Water pollution and the growing demand for zero liquid discharge solutions have driven the development of advanced wastewater treatment technologies. Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising thermal-based process capable of treating high-salinity brines and wastewater. This review provides an in-depth analysis of MD configurations, operating principles, and membrane characteristics while addressing key challenges such as fouling and pore wetting which hinder large-scale implementation.

- A study called 'Integration of AYUSH with NPCDCS' was conducted in three Indian states to manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs) using Ayurveda, lifestyle changes, and Yoga alongside standard medical care since 2015.
