Wastewater reclamation, recycling and reuse potential: a case study for Kuching city, Sarawak. Water Utility Journal, 11: 5. pp. 63-72. ISSN 1792-748X (2015)
Abstract
Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, has been experiencing rapid population growth in recent years. In the past, the wastewater was discharged directly into Sarawak River without any further treatment. This had badly affected the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the Sarawak river ecosystem until it was classified as Class III and the lowest Disolved Oxygen measured is only 0.5mg/L. Hence, a sustainable centralised wastewater treatment system was constructed to offer a practical and long term solution to the issue. Currently, the Class A treated water is discharged directly into Sarawak River, whereby class A treated water can be reused for many activities such as irrigation and industry applications (cooling, rinsing, etc.).
