Domestic wastewater treatment in the Philippines has quite became a problem in waterpollution. In the Philippines, only 10% of wastewater is treated while 58% of the roundwateris contaminated. Imaine that this contaminated roundwater is used as your household!spotable drin"in water source and your children and lo#ed ones are drin"in it.
$i &y name is 'ene 'ey &ondia and I am representin $ydroponi( )orp, a team ofenineers who ha#e set out to sol#e this problem that affects an o#er *+ million filipinos andeconomic losses of about 8 billion annually due to poor sanitation. -o why does thisproblem happen /ell. Direct dischare of reywater to the round causes reat damae tothe nearby body of water as well as contamination of the roundwater. -ince householdwater treatment and centralied facilities are rare, domestic wastewater is discharedanywhere without treatment.
he ood news is, with proper domestic waste water treatment processes employed, theseproblems can be pre#ented. $owe#er, current domestic wastewater treatment here in thePhilippines does not pro#ide concrete treatment for reywater dischare and if so wouldneed bul"y and lare equipment thus requirin more land area and thus cost.
/e ha#e created a wastewater treatment equipment that is a modified nutrient filmhydroponics system that is effecti#e, compact, and fits perfectly to the comfort of yourbac"yard. he household simply installs the system to their pipin lines and the householdeffluent is passed throuh to the hydroponic trouhs, bein able to reduce the contaminantsin the water to safe le#els. he system does not only pro#ide water treatment but also ser#esas a #ertical and modifiable arden that could be planted with the plant of your choice.
)ompared to the other household processes a#ailable in the mar"et, our system pro#ides aunique, chemical2free, more space sa#in and more modifiable system than any othertreatment means out there, /e ha#e currently a wor"in prototype that is a standaloneequipment but our final product will include the necessary mini pre2processin and postprocessin equipment included.
/e plan to capitalie on this by partnerin with local o#ernment units 346s7 under themandate of D9' accordin to the )lean /ater :ct of +00; and also with pri#ate watertreatment ser#ice firms to et our hydroponics system riht in e#ery

Domestic wastewater treatment in the Philippines has quite became a problem in water
pollution. In the Philippines, only 10% of wastewater is treated while 58% of the roundwater
is contaminated. It is also a fact that only 5% of the total population is connected to a sewer
networ" in the Philippines. Direct dischare of raw sewae to the round a to the round
causes reat damae to the surroundin body of water as well as contamination of the
roundwater. -ince domestic wastewater treatment facilities are rare in the Philippines
3centralied or not7, domestic wastewater is dischared without treatment. -ome estimates
point to household wastewater as contributin as much as @0% of water pollution. conomic
losses because of poor sanitation are reported to reach PhP 8 billion annually. /ith this
current situation in the Philippines, a desin for domestic wastewater treatment will be of
reat #alue the en#ironment.
In this proAect, the contaminants in the domestic wastewater specifically rey water is to be
remo#ed by interatin a modified nutrient2film technique hydroponic system for wastewater
treatment and reuse. he taret will be urban areas in the Philippine that lac" the
wastewater treatment for reywater ? namely wastewater from "itchen sin"s, dishwashers,
bathroom sin"s, tubs and showers. he proAect will include a wastewater treatment
equipment that is a modified nutrient film hydroponics system that is effecti#e for wastewater
treatment, compact, and fits perfectly to the comfort of the
