Arsenic and heavy metal groundwater remediation today are highly neglected areas of science and engineering today. Public health engineering and hygiene and biomedical engineering are the areas which needs to be envisioned and should be replete with deep scientific imagination and comprehension as man and mankind moves forward. The author deeply pronounces and reiterates the immense needs of the application of nanomaterials, engineered nanomaterials and biomedical engineering in the futuristic proliferation of global science and technology. Scientific ardor and scientific challenges are immense in today’s world of bio-engineering and integrated water resource management. Surely a newer dawn in the field of nanotechnology and nano-engineering will surely usher in as science overcomes one frontier over another. In this respect nanotechnology, environmental engineering and biomedical engineering will widen scientific hopes, scientific choices, perception and vision in days to come. In conclusion one can say that human vision and human scientific progress will veritably a newer era. The author in this article deeply treads with the engineering issues of nanotechnology and nano-engineering applications.
