Water is an essential resource for life and good health, but about a third
of the global population does not have access to clean water to meet its
daily needs. Although a large portion of our planet contains water, most
of it is salty and thus not consumable. Freshwater comprises only 2.5% of the total water on earth, 70% of which is locked in glaciers and permanent snow cover. This limited sources combined with
massive global demand of fresh water has led to global water scarcity.
The situation is getting worse as needs for water rise along with
population growth, urbanization, urbanization and increases in
household and industrial uses.
Almost one fifth of the world’s population (about 1.2 billion people)
lives in areas with water scarcity. Water scarcity can occur even in
areas with plenty of rainfall or freshwater, if it is not well protected,
used and distributed.

Although Jakarta’s 2010 published per capita water consumption of 78
litres/day3 looks quite good as compared to the average for 22 other
Asian Cities (278 litres/person/day), it does not portray the entire picture.
It represents only the total volume of water sold by the water company,
which does not serve 46% of Jakarta’s water needs. This shortfall is
mostly met by extracting ground water. An unauthorised water supply
system supplies bottled ground water to a large segment of the market.
About 70% of households depend on ground water supply.

Annual Water Use Water Supply in Jakarta
Jakarta faces multiple challenges related to water management and
efficiency, despite having ample natural supply through rivers and rainfall.
These challenges include diminished freshwater supply, flooding and land
subsidence due to excessive groundwater exploitation.

Moreover Jakarta loses an estimated 50% of its water supply to
leakage5, one of the highest rates in Asia.
Jakarta is blessed with 13 rivers that could potentially be used for its
water needs. Unfortunately, these rivers get heavily polluted after
entering the city and are not usable for raw water supply. Cleaning up
the rivers and diverting sources of their pollution could provide a viable
source for the city’s growing water needs. According to a 2011 report
by Jakarta Environmental Management Agency (BPLHD), 71% of the
city’s river water is heavily polluted, 20% is partly polluted, and 9% is
lightly polluted.
Piped water supply in Jakarta is characterised by poor levels of access
and quality. Reliability, limited coverage of the piped network, the
low cost of groundwater, and water quality are important factors in
determining consumer preference for groundwater. This preference for
groundwater has led to excessive groundwater use and theft, which is
causing significant land subsidence, pollution and salinization of aquifers
and increased levels of flooding.7

Jakarta experienced floods in 1996, 2002, 2007, and 2013 with
devastating consequences on human life and the socio-economic
conditions. The 2007 flood inundated more than 70% of the city and sent
about 450,000 fleeing their homes. Expenditure in flood control in the
period 1995 - 2001 amounted to about IDR 239 billion (USD 23 million).8
Groundwater extraction in Jakarta significantly exceeds groundwater
recharge, leading to a falling groundwater table and increased land
subsidence. Land subsidence was first identified when cracks were
discovered in the Sarinah bridge in 1978. Within the past 20 years, land
has subsided up to 57 cm in North Jakarta and 28 cm in South Jakarta.
With the alarming average subsidence rate of 10 cm/year, combined with
rising sea water level, it is predicted that roughly 32.5% of Jakarta area
will be under the sea in 2050, displacing millions of people and rendering
most of the north Jakarta area uninhabitable (see Figure 6).
Numerous reasons for the increased flooding have been put forward,
including:
• Drastic reduction in green open spaces resulting in increased water
runoff and sedimentation in rivers. The reduced infiltration is also
primarily responsible for the depleted groundwater table.
• Lack of an adequate garbage disposal system, resulting in pollution
and choking of rivers.

Unfortunately, most of the high density buildings requiring deep
groundwater supply are located in the critical zones for groundwater.
This highlights the importance of reducing water consumption in
buildings and using reclaimed and alternate water sources to minimize
the negative ecological impacts.

integrated approach of appropriate utilization & management of surface
water, ground water & rain, waste treated water.
This code attempts to address the water related challenges in Jakarta by:
• Reducing the demand for municipal and ground water (through
efficient fixtures, rainwater harvesting and recycling).
• Reducing the runoff (through rainwater collection and absorption
wells).

As Figure 13 shows, most water is used for non-potable purposes,
regardless of building types. This indicates a huge water saving
opportunity through reclaimed water system, rain water harvesting and
air conditioning condensate, which are suitable for non-potable uses such
as irrigation, general washing and cooling system.
Using rain water and air conditioning condesate as alternative water
source is particularly interesting as Jakarta is characterized by tropical
climate with relatively high rainfall and relative humidity.
Significant water saving can also be obtained through the utilization of
water efficient fixtures. As indicated in Table 3 below, installing efficient
fixtures and faucets in these areas can lead to substantial water saving.
Reducing water consumption from primary sources (e.g. PAM and deep
well) has multiple benefits. Due to increasing demand and diminishing
supply, cost of water supply is increasing. Any reduction in consumption
directly reduces the building’s water supply costs and wastewater
disposal charges. It can also reduce associated energy costs, such as
treatment, pumping and water heating. Building’s water supply, cleaning
and storage system can also be reduced in size, thus saving capital costs.
Some of the most effective ways of reducing potable water consumption
in buildings are:
1. Efficient Fixtures
2. Sub-metering of all major water consuming systems
3. Grey water reuse
4. Cooling tower water efficiency
5. Condensate water harvesting
6. Rainwater Collection

Water efficient fixtures are now widely available. Reduction in water
consumption directly reduces the building’s water supply costs and
wastewater disposal charges. For example, 62% reduction in water
usage was achieved at a rest stop that was equipped with ultra-
low-flow toilets and waterless urinals.13 Table 4 below outlines the
recommended maximum flow rate or flush capacity to further reduce
water consumption.
Analysis for various building types in Jakarta has shown savings in
water consumption between 8% and 39% through the use of water
efficient fixtures.

Among all the water consuming fixtures in typical commercial and
residential buildings, toilet flushes consume the most amount of potable
water. In some cases, this can add up to 75% of the total water use in
the building. Efficient dual flush systems that use only about 4.5 liters
for a full flush and 3 liters for a half flush, this consumption can be cut
down significantly.
Washing hands and ablution can use up a lot of water in typical
Jakarta buildings. Faucets using up to 23 liters/min are still used in some
buildings, even though efficient faucets that use as little as 7 liters/min
are available. Lower flow rates are possible if the faucets are fitted with
tap aerators. A study done by Singapore Public Utilities Board (PUB)
indicates that flow rates as low as 2 liters per minute may be sufficient
for normal washing purposes in toilets.
Water Efficient Showerhead. A normal showerhead has a flow rate of
up to approximately 12 liters/min. A water efficient showerhead helps to
reduce the water usage without affecting the comfort level of the water
pressure for users.
Flushing of urinals can use a lot of water as well, according to an
estimate up to 20% of the total in a typical commercial building.
Waterless urinals completely eliminate water use in urinals using a one
way valve and a cartridge that prevents backflow and odors. For urinals
that use water, it is recommended to specify them with 1 Litre/flush
or less.

A very important strategy in water management is monitoring
consumption using sub-meters. While metering does not save any
water directly, it has an indirect impact of increasing user awareness of
consumption. Accurately measuring water use can help facility managers
identify areas for targeted reductions and to track progress from water-
efficiency upgrades. Submeters can also help identify leaks and indicate
when equipment is malfunctioning.
Although the code regulates having sub-meters only for the supply
stream if multiple water sources are used, it is recommended to have
sub-meter for the water consuming systems. Metering and recording
water consuming systems assist the building manager in isolating over
consumption and leakage problems in each consuming system. For
example, installation of sub metering system in University of California,
Berkeley campus buildings in USA revealed that 71% of the water
fixtures used 7.6 - 15 liter/flush, more than the rated 6 liter/ flush.
This indicated leakages in the system, and fixing the problem led to
significant water savings.17

In commercial settings where bath, dish, and laundry water is available,
grey water reclamation after solid waste removal can provide a reasonable
payback of investment. The reclaimed greywater can be used for
applications such as toilet flushing, condenser water, and site irrigation.
Greywater is typically not suitable for use as potable drinking water.
Greywater use for irrigation and HVAC condensing water should be
carefully evaluated as harmful chemicals can be used to treat the
reclaimed water.

also play important factors in choosing this water conservation method.
Filters, pumps, and treating stations all require attention. Grey water
systems are typically cost-effective in hospitality and similar buildings
with high-volume, regular non-biological contamination usage, such as
laundry plants coupled with large non-potable loads like toilet flushing and
landscaping irrigation.
Plumbing system for greywater should be clearly separated from the
blackwater system to prevent contamination.
Residential greywater systems in urban areas are typically limited to the
water from bathrooms. An innovative solution from Japan (Figure 20
below), combines the wash basins with the water cistern.
include using air handler condensate, single-pass cooling water,
rainwater, and foundation groundwater for cooling tower make-up water
and lawn irrigation. Reduced potable water use by more than 33% and
saved more than 6 million m3 of water in total since the program began
in the 1980s.19
The used water from the wash

Cooling tower water use in commercial building located in hot and humid
climate can consume one-third to half of the total building water usage.
Some cooling towers can use greywater (and other kinds of recycled
water) if certain water quality criterion is met.

To reduce water usage at cooling towers, the designer should focus on
the two factors that can be controlled: drift (water droplets that are carried
out of the cooling tower with the exhaust air) and blowdown (the removal
of circulating water to maintain the amount of dissolved solids and other
impurities at and acceptable level designated by the electrical conductivity
of the water). Evaporation is integral to a cooling tower performance and
cannot be reduced without an acceptable reduction in performance.

Four Ways of Water Leaves Cooling Tower System
F I G U R E . 2 3
Drift can be reduced by baffles or drift eliminators. Reducing blowdown
to the minimum level consistent with good operating practice can
conserve significant volumes of water. Reducing blowdown is the same as
increasing the condenser water cycles of concentration, which can be done
by multitude of ways. One way of increasing the cycle of concentration
while maintaining cooling tower and chiller performance is through
incorporating good water treatment program that includes chemical dosing
and careful monitoring of water parameters.
The relative water efficiency of a cooling tower is commonly measured
by computing the cycles of concentration. To measure cycles of
concentration, divide the conductivity of sump water by the conductivity
of the entering tap water. Many systems operate at two to four cycles
of concentration, while six cycles or more might be possible. Increasing
cycles from three to six reduces cooling tower make-up water by 20
percent and cooling tower blowdown by 50 percent.

These subtle improvements and modifications to the condenser water
system should be incorporated into the installation at the design level
to save significant amounts of water from the onset and provide an
efficient system. Minimizing the condenser water loss, ensuring proper
water treatment, and constant system service will save valuable
amounts of water.
The 1500 m2 Environmental Science Centre in Fort Meade, Maryland,
saved about 2,000 m3 of water and approximately $1,800 by reducing its
cooling tower blowdown.24
In Australia, water efficiency of cooling tower is done by:
• Correct assembly of float valves.
• Install meter conductivity and blow-down automation system at
conductivity level which has been determined in the water which will
be recirculated.
• Implement “performance-based” maintanance.
• Reduce heat load by increasing building energy efficiency.
• Increase whole air conditioning efficiency by system upgrading or
waste water treatment.

In some airconditioning systems, it is feasible to collect condensate water
for uses such as irrigation, cooling tower make up, and toilet flushing.
In hot-humid climates, condensate from air conditioning can be a good
source of clean, cold water that is well-suited for reuse.
The volume of condensate generated depends upon the cooling load,
local temperature and humidity, make-up air volumes, and target indoor
temperature and humidity. As a rule of thumb, 0.1 to 0.3 gallons/hour of
condensate water can be generated per ton of cooling25. In hot-humid
climates, peak condensate production during summer months can be
assumed to be approximately 0.5 to 0.6 gph/1000 ft2 or 1.9 to 2.27
l/h/93m2 of cooled area.
Rice University in USA captures condensate water from many of its
buildings for use in the central plant’s cooling towers as make up water.
This systems is estimated to save at least 45.4 million liters of water per
year, which is equivalent to about 5 to 6% of Rice University’s annual
water consumption.

United World College (UWC) South East Asia - East Campus, Singapore,
harvested about 1400m3 of condensate water in the first 5 months
(August - December) of operation. The harvested condensate water
reduces potable water consumption for cooling tower make-up while also
reducing the temperature of condenser water for the HVAC.
The G+20 Floor building’s HVAC system consisting fresh air handling
units typically can produce 2600 liters condensate water in 24 hrs and
78000 liters in a month at an average summer outdoor conditions, which
can be utilized trim down the demand of potable water and saving a
substantial amount of energy and carbon emissions.27

Jakarta on an average gets about 1800 mm of rainfall annually, most of it
between November and April. For a roof area of 30 m2, a 5.5 m3 capacity
tank can provide daily reclaimed water supply of about 60 liters. This
highlights the potential of water saving through rain water harvesting.28
Rainwater harvesting can be implemented by collecting water at the
roof (roof catchment), or at the ground (ground catchment). The stored
rainwater can be used for laundry, toilet and urinal flushing, car washing,
and ornamental water features. It can even be used for cooling tower
make-up. The benefit of rain water harvesting is two fold. Firstly, it
reduces the expense of municipal supply or ground water extraction.
Secondly, it also reduces water run off to the city sewage and drainage
system thus mitigating Jakarta’s perennial flooding problems.

The size of the catchment area or roof will determine how much
rainwater that you can harvest. The area is based on the “footprint” of
the roof, which can be calculated by finding the area of the building and
adding the area of the roof’s overhang.
Equation below provides a calculation for rainwater capture potential.
Conversion factor of 0.623 is included to take into account capture
efficiency because some of the rainwater is lost through evaporation,
splashing, or other means.

Channels all around the edge of a sloping roof to collect and transport
rainwater to the storage tank. The size of the gutter should be according
to the flow during the highest intensity rain. It is advisable to make them
10 to 15 per cent oversized. As a rule of thumb, one square inch (6.4 cm2)
of downspout area should be provided for every 100 square feet (9.29 m2)
of roof area.
A first flush device is a valve that ensures that runoff from the first spell
of rain is flushed out and does not enter the system. This needs to be
done since the first spell of rain carries a relatively larger amount of
pollutants from the air and catchment surface.
Storage system is used to store rainwater for later uses. It is one of
the most critical, and typically the most expensive component of the
rainwater system. Rainwater storage tank could be made of concrete,
wood, metal, clay or plastic.
The filter is used to remove suspended pollutants from rainwater
collected over roof. A filter unit is a chamber filled with filtering media
such as fibre, coarse sand and gravel layers to remove debris and dirt
from water before it enters the storage tank or recharges structure.
Charcoal can be added for additional filtration. Filter chamber can be
made manually and commercial filters are widely available.
Further discussions on filters can be found on the web such as: • Rainwater Harvesting Org. Components of A Rainwater Harvesting
System. (http://www.rainwaterharvesting.org/Urban/Components.htm)
• Freerain. Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Systems. (http://www.freerain.co.uk/commercial-rainwater-harvesting-systems.html)
For example, with an annual average of 1800 mm rainfall in Jakarta, a
catchment area (e.g. roof) of 5,000 m2, could harvest 1.8 m x 5,000 m2 x
0.623 = 5,607 m3 of rain water annually or equal to an average of 15.36 m2
per day.
To avoid water pollution, walls, roofs and gutters should not use asbestos
or toxic paints.

on the demand, frequency of rainfall, surface area, budget and aesthetics.
Some of the elements of a typical rainwater harvesting system are
highlighted in the figure below.
Singapore offers interesting case studies of rainwater harvesting. Because
of low supply and high demand, country’s regulations have a strong
emphasis on rainwater collection. About 84% of the population lives in
high rise apartments. These buildings are required to collect rainwater in
cisterns on the roof. A recent study demonstrated an effective saving of
4% of the water used, the volume of which did not have to be pumped
from the ground floor. As a result of savings in terms of water, energy
costs, and deferred capital, the cost of collected roof water was calculated
to be S$0.96 against the previous cost of S$ 1.17 per cubic meter.

Singapore’s Changi airport collects rain falling on the runways and the
landscaped areas in two reservoirs, that are used for toilet flushing
and fire fighter drills. This amounts to about 30% municipal water
consumption savings equivalent to about S$ 390,000 per annum.35

Absorption wells are intended to capture, store and recharge
groundwater, while at the same time reduce runoff to the city drainage
system. Absorbtion system is applied to areas that have typically
sandy soils with acceptable permeability rates and with ground water
level below 1.5 m. However, many parts some parts of Jakarta are not
suitable for the application of absorption well. Therefore, results of soil
investigation should be examined before applying absorption well.
Asoprtion system for unconfined aquifer (air tanah dangkal) can be
implemented using apsorption pit (Lubang Resapan Biopori) or shallow
absortion well, while deep apsorption well utilizing injection system can
be used for confined aquifers.

Bio retention systems treat stormwater by filtering runoff through planted
vegetation and percolating (drip feeding) the runoff through a filter
media, such as loamy sand. As the water is percolated through the soil,
pollutants are captured by fine filtration, absorption and biological uptake.
Excess water can be collected by under drain system and discharge to
the storm sewer system or directly into receiving water. Bio infiltration
systems typically are designed to store and treat run off from relatively
small storms. It should be located at least 3 metres away from buildings
to ensure water does not drain into the foundations.

A rain garden is a simple form of a bio-infiltration system, that is built in
shallow depressions or low-lying areas, with a planted or stone-covered
bed that is specifically designed to capture and absorb stormwater and
allow it to be slowly absorbed into the soil.
Rain gardens are suitable for sites that are sandy, gravellly, loam, or
a mix with up to 10 per-cent clay.Sites with mostly clay soil are not
suitable. The soil sould be permeable to depth of between 0.6-1.2 m
below the rain garden. The surface of depression should be at least 1 m
above seasonally high shallow groundwater. The rain garden also need
to be as level as posible, to ensure that water does not run over the
lower edge. If possible, slope greater than 12 percent should be avoided.
The placement of the rain garden could be at a low point or at a location
somewhere along the natural flow path.

Saving Clean Water Cost by Processing Used WaterP L A Z A I N D O N E S I A
Management of Plaza Indonesia (PI) has responded to the clean water
crisis faced by Jakarta due to insufficient clean water supply from
public water grid system (PAM Jaya) and relatively high cost of piped
water tariff (Rp. 12,550/m3). The problems of clean water supply for PI,
which has a total area of 404,100 m2, are exacerbated due to the new
regulation restricting deep ground water extraction and increasing tax.
Pergub DKI No 37, 2009 significantly increase deep ground water tax
from Rp. 4,400/m2 to Rp. 23,333/m2. This regulation is necessary to
mitigate the serious problem of land subsidence due to over extraction
of deep ground water in Jakarta.
Following the development and existing business opportunities, PI has
recently built Keraton Residential Tower (48 floors, 88 apartment units,
50,350 m2) and The Plaza Office Tower (47 floors, 62,650 m2), which
is going to increase the need for clean water and also the amount of
liquid waste generated. The facilities need at least 2,200 m3 of clean
water per day.
PI complex consists of Plaza
Indonesia Shopping Center
(4 floors, 62,750 m2), Grand
Hyatt Jakarta Hotel (26
floors, 447 rooms, 67,000
m2), and Plaza Indonesia
Extension (6 floors, 43,300
m2) equipped with an
underground parking facility
(Basement Parking) with an
area of 108,800 m2.

To cope with the high demand of clean water supply, PI management
has decided to reclaim water from its wastewater as an alternative
non-potable water source for toilet flushing, irrigation and cooling
tower. Besides environmental benefit such as reducing wastewater and
mitigating water scarcity and land subsidence issues, reclaiming water
also offers financial benefit to PI.
If the clean water is totally supplied by PAM Jaya, the cost will be at
least Rp. 10.08 billion (365 days/year x 2,200 m3/day x Rp. 12.550/m3)
annually. This figure significantly increases to Rp. 13.54 billion/year,
if 40% of the total requirement is taken from the deep groundwater.
In addition, PI must pay the cost to treat wastewater which by a
conventional system would cost at least Rp. 1.750/m3, leading to a
total cost of wastewater treatment to Rp. 1.12 billion/year (2.200 x 0.8
x 365 x Rp. 1.750/m3). Therefore, total cost for clean water supply and
wastewater treatment is estimated at least Rp. 11.2 billion/year.
By conducting a comprehensive retrofit of the wastewater treatment
systems, at least 1,500 m3 of a total of 2,200 m3 of the PI clean water
needs can be generated from the used water reclamation plant system
employing Membrane Bio Reactor technology (MBR) + Reverse
Osmosis Membrane. Total savings from reduction of clean water cost
is Rp. 2.92 billion/year plus the cost savings from wastewater treatment
at around Rp. 1.12 billion/year. So the total savings made by the
management of the PI is Rp. 4.04 billion/year. The total investment cost
to implement Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) retrofit at Plaza Indonesia
is around Rp. 15 billion with a payback period of about 3.7 years.

When the handle is pulled, a piston lifts water to start a siphon, which empties the cistern into the toilet bowl. When the cistern is empty the siphon is broken and the cistern refills ready for the next flush.
Siphon MechanismWhen flush is initiated, the air valve lifted on the siphon is open; when flush is complete, the valve closed.

I T E M A D V A N T A G E S D I S A D V A N T A G E S
Screwdriver/lever actuatedPrimary function is that of an isolating valve. However, the flow through the valve can be adjusted to reduce flow rate.
The tap nose contains small holes to force water out in the form of a mist or spray.
The design of the nozzle mixes air with the water under pressure. When the water exits the nozzle the air expands, increasing the apparent water flow. Tap aerators are often integrated with a flow regulator as a pressure compensating aerator (PCA).
Percussion taps/push-down tapsTo deliver flow, the user pushes down on the tap head. When the user removes their hand, the pressure generated inside forces the tap up and it automatically closes off the flow (after a delay period set of the time of installation). A delay period of between 15 and 20 second is generally suitable for hand washing.
An infrared sensor is located on the underside of the tap head. The sensor is triggered when the user places their hands under the tap head. The temperature is preset.
Relatively new, also known as ‘click’ or two stage taps. Flow rate typically between 5 and 10 litres per minute until a resistance point is reached. To open the tap any further requires additional force. Full flow setting typically between 10 and 20 litres/minute.

Relatively new. They allow the user to push a button to override a default lower flow rate setting to provide a higher flow rate delivery mode. The flow rate is controlled by an integrated flow regulator.
