Domestic Wastewater in Indonesia: Challenge in the Future Related to Nitrogen Content
International Journal of GEOMATE, 2018
The option of reusing treated wastewater is becoming necessary for environment sustainability approach. In fact, wastewater effluent discharge regulations have become stricter leading to a better water quality. Municipal activities, agriculture, and rapid urbanization led to increased nitrogen and phosphorus discharge to the water system. More often, the effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plant failed to meet the national standard for effluent quality. Excess nutrients, mostly N and P is the main cause of eutrophication the which results in oxygen depletion, biodiversity reduction, fish kills, odor, and increased toxicity. Biological nutrient removal technologies are preferred and widely used to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from domestic wastewater and protect water quality. Chemical compositions in wastewater are highly diverse substances from simple compounds to complex polymers. Some wastewater samples were analyzed in this research. Conventional technology still retains the basic principle of complete nitrogen cycle through nitrification and denitrification. Anammox is a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to the basic method of nitrogen removal. Anammox has been identified as a new biotechnology for nitrogen reduction from wastewater. Compared to the common process of nitrogen removal, anammox can reduce 64% off aeration, 100% of an exogenous electron donor, and sludge production by 80-90%. Some benefits from anammox include high nitrogen removal rate, lower operational cost, and small space requirements. Anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) in Indonesia has been used commonly as communal wastewater treatment. Promoting anammox process in ABR potentially become an improvement for ABR in removing nitrogen better. This combination process still outlined for further research.

Domestic wastewater in Indonesia: generation, characteristics and treatment
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022
With a 270 million Indonesian population, domestic wastewater is one of the major contributors to wastewater generated from human activities. This review aimed to give an overview of the current state of domestic wastewater generation, characteristics and treatment systems in Indonesia. Overall, grey water quantity in Indonesia was 1 to 4 times higher than black water quantity, while the quantity of untreated grey water was 3 to 6 times higher than untreated black water. Parameters of concern include suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, oil and grease, nitrogen and coliforms. Our analysis shows that grey water can be a significant source of water pollution due to the large quantity and lack of treatment. In addition, black water treatment that relies mainly on on-site treatment is often inadequate due to the lack of quality control for the infrastructure, operation and maintenance. An incentive or penalty scheme to build and ensure the quality of domestic wastewater treatment is required and can be applied at the household, community or central (city) level.

Utouke journal of Social Sciences, 2021
This paper ascertained the Sanitation Status of Domestic Sewage Management of metropolitan Kaduna. Mixed approach of research methods was used to collect data. Quantitative data on sanitation options, share status of options, presence of Open defection (OD) were obtained from Heads of Household/ Landlords via questionnaires and cheek list were also filled by Field Assistants through physical observations using systematic sampling techniques of selection of 1 house at 8 th interval). Qualitative data on sewage treatment and disposal points were got from twenty-five (25) registered Private Sewage Service Providers via phone call recoded interview. 1,814 households/ Checklists were proposed as sample size but only 1, 716 participants responded within the sample frame. The sample neighbourhoods were high and medium/ low density areas of Doka (core city), Kawo (North), Sabon Tasha (South), Unguwan Rimi (East) and Unguwan Muazu/ Kabala West (West) of Kaduna metropolis. The study revealed the predominance of Water Closet 59.9% (908) as sanitation option/ toilet type, 52.9% (1,049) households do not share toilets with other households while, 665 (38.8%) share, Open Defecation occurs in forms of 35% (188) at open spaces and 31.7% (170) use of polythene bags and insitu disposal. Metropolitan Kaduna and its medium-density neighbourhoods have a basic sanitation status, and the high-density limited sanitation status in relation to the Sustainable Development Goal ladder of 6.2 and 6.3 targets. Recommendations such as upgrade of improved sanitation options, provision of domestic sewage treatment plants and reuse of treated domestic sewage and introduction of abatement committee were made.

The quick growth of the population, land use changed, and the industrial boom has carried huge problems of the environment of Dhaka city, Bangladesh especially on sewage waste water management. Waste treatment in developing countries like Bangladesh is a major anxiety and has become puzzling for various unfavorable conditions. Sewage Waste water management has a direct impact on the urban ecosystems, agriculture and river system. Insufficient education and little economic perspective are causing difficulties in implementing advanced treatment methods. Similar to other developing countries, Bangladesh is also facing numerous water-related problems in the urban region. The waste water of Dhaka city was collected and analyzed in the laboratory before and after the treatment. The present investigation was conducted to monitor the characteristic of the waste water, and its usability in different purposes like Irrigation, Aquaculture and drinking purposes. It is obvious from the results that, the current situation of treated water is not promising especially in N, P, Fe and Mn concentration for using as Aquaculture and Drinking Purposes. Although, the treated waste water can be used as Irrigation water and discharge into river without any further treatment.

Sustainable management of water and sanitation are at the core of 2030 agenda of Sustainable Development goals which is an ambitious plan of action to transform our world for people, planet and prosperity. United Nations report on world urbanization prospects reveals the world's urban population is expected to increase by more than two thirds by 2050 with nearly 90% of the increase to take place in the urban areas of Asia and Africa. Hence the increasing population will impose an immense demand on natural resource utilization in future, thus it is important to investigate not only the availability of water but also the effective disposal of wastewater. National statistics on water consumption in Sri Lanka informs more than 70% of water is consumed by the domestic sector and predicts an increase of 5% for a period of 5 years from the year 2012 to 2017. However the current national focus on development of selected cities in the Western province as a Megapolis will initiate an urban sprawl towards the cities in neighbouring provinces. Although the Megapolis development prioritized on upgrading the existing urban infrastructure of the Western province, there will be a limited attention on exaggerating urban issues in emerging large townships due to agglomeration. Thus it is vital to investigate the prevailing status of urban services and amenities of the potential cities in transformation. Hence the study focuses on investigating the current practices in wastewater management of the Municipal Council region of Rathnapura. This study incorporates multiple data collection methods such as gathering of secondary data, field observations and focused group discussions and interviews with stakeholders. The results inform at present there is a mechanism for collection and disposal of sewage in the Municipal Council region of Rathnapura. However, the study identifies considerable limitation on facilities available for treatment of sludge and its disposal. At present a quantity of 4285 m3 of annual sewage is collected and this capacity will be doubled ((9870m 3) by the year 2025. Thus the above findings highlight the importance of an effective wastewater management system to promote health and well-being.

Human excrement (faeces and urine) contribute only small volume in domestic wastewater but are one of the main causes of water pollution. On the other hand, they contain very valuable nutrients to be reused as anthropogenic fertilizer through proper collection, treatment and hygienisation process. To know the potential of nutrient recovery and reuse in Indonesia, a pilot scale source separation domestic wastewater system has been built in Surabaya and has showed so far promising results. Using urine diverting toilets, up to 86 % Nitrogen, 21% Phosphorous and 69 % Potassium from urine and 12 % of Nitrogen, 68 % of Phosphorous and 20 % of Potassium from the faecal matter respectively can be recovered. The separated urine was stored for 6 months before usage as fertilizer for hygienic reasons, while the separated faecal matter was composted with worms (vermicomposting). In order to investigate the fertilizing effect, a preliminary cultivation experiment has been done on baby rose plant using different fertilizers for two months.
Analysis of the distribution of domestic wastewater in the Brantas river area of Malang city
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The degradation of water quality has become a major problem today. In Indonesia, the decline in water quality is caused by domestic wastewater which is a non-point source. In an effort to reduce the occurrence of environmental degradation due to domestic wastewater, it is necessary to give an idea and convince the public and the relevant parties of the importance of domestic wastewater management. Efforts are made by informing the pattern of distribution of domestic wastewater in a region and the impact of its distribution for its control and management. The research method uses a momentary sampling technique in accordance with SNI 6989.59:2008. The location of the water sampling is determined purposively. Sampling was conducted in two periods; the dry season in September and the rainy season in January. The observed parameters included BOD5 and E.coli. Determination of the distribution of domestic wastewater uses GIS. The distribution of domestic wastewater is determined based on pollution levels expressed as IP. The results show that pollution levels in Sawojajar and Sumbersari were lightly polluted with average IPs of 4.09 and 4.02 (dry season). While Kedungkandang is in the good category, IP = 0.32 (dry season).
