Abstract

The aim of the study is to discuss the patenting of water and wastewater treatment technologies. More than 2.500 patent documents related to the topic were found and downloaded. The documents were analyzed by a software and processing
tools. Patent indicators for the technology with high-value business and research were determined such as water treatment, countries, institutions and worldwide leader inventors according to the patented technology. The worldwide development of water and wastewater treatment technologies over the past twenty years is presented according to the record of patents. The delivery of all materials is done in a  visualization tool that manages to make service more attractive, it is a friendlier and more comfortable product to use that offers a high-level update and effectiveness of information for decision making in a hydraulic project and research business.
