Abstract:
Domestic wastewater have caused the surrounding environment to be polluted by
high organic content of the wastewater. Domestic wastewater which causes water
pollution were around 70% in Indonesia. According to this reason, it is important to
develop appropriate low cost technology to solve this problem such as developing wetland
system. The system tries to take the advantage of mutual activities between the soil
microorganism and the plant roots which releases oxygen. Treating domestic wastewater
using wetland system technology was already applied in some countries in Europe. It is
important to intensive study about developing wetland system technology in Indonesia.
