Introduction

Wastewater is water whose physical, chemical or biological properties have been

changed as a result of the introduction of certain substances which render it unsafe for

some purposes such as drinking.

The day to day activities of man is mainly water dependent and therefore

discharge ‘waste’ into water. Some of the substances include hair shampoo, food scraps,

laundry powder, fabric conditioners, toilet paper, chemicals, detergent, household

cleaners, dirt, micro-organisms (germs) which can make people ill and damage the

environment. It is known that much of water supplied ends up as wastewater which

makes its treatment very important.

Wastewater is generally divided into two categories: black water and grey water.

Blackwater refers to toilet waste and grey water to the remaining waste water from

sinks, showers, laundry, etc. Wastewater is not safe to drink, and discharging this water

directly into the environment (onto the ground or into a water body) can pose health

and safety problem. Wastewater must be properly managed to protect human and

environmental health and safety.

Wastewater treatment is the process and technology that is used to remove

most of the contaminants that are found in wastewater to ensure a sound environment

and good public health. Wastewater Management therefore means handling

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 5

wastewater to protect the environment to ensure public health, economic, social and

political soundness.

1.1 Background of the study

Many ancient cities had drainage systems, but they were primarily intended to

carry rainwater away from roofs and pavements. A notable example is the drainage

system of ancient Rome. It included many surface conduits that were connected to a

large vaulted channel called the Cloaca Maxima (“Great Sewer”), which carried drainage

water to the Tiber River. Built of stone and on a grand scale, the Cloaca Maxima is one

of the oldest existing monuments of Roman engineering.

There was little progress in urban drainage or sewerage during the Middle Ages.

Privy vaults and cesspools were used, but most wastes were simply dumped into gutters

to be flushed through the drains by floods. Toilets (water closets) were installed in

houses in the early 19th century, but they were usually connected to cesspools, not

to sewers. In densely populated areas, local conditions soon became intolerable

because the cesspools were seldom emptied and frequently overflowed. The threat

to public health became apparent. In England in the middle of the 19th century,

outbreaks of cholera were traced directly to well-water supplies contaminated with

human waste from privy vaults and cesspools. It soon became necessary for all water

closets in the larger towns to be connected directly to the storm sewers. This

transferred sewage from the ground near houses to nearby bodies of water. Thus, a

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 6

new problem emerged: surface water pollution.( Jerry A. Nathanson & Archis Ambulkar,

Nov 29, 2018)( www.britannica.com)

Wastewater treatment is a fairly new practice although drainage systems were

built long before the nineteenth century. Before this time, “night soil” was placed in

buckets along streets and workers emptied them into “honeywagon” tanks. This was

sent to rural areas and disposed off over agricultural lands. In the nineteenth century,

flush toilets led to an increase in the volume of waste for these agricultural lands. Due to

this transporting challenge, cities began to use drainage and storm sewers to convey

wastewater into water bodies against the recommendation of Edwin Chadwick in 1842

that “rain to the river and sewage to the soil”. The discharge of waste into water courses

led to gross pollution and health problems for downstream users.

Today there have been great advances to make portable water from

wastewater. In recent times, regardless of the capacity of the receiving stream, a

minimum treatment level is required before discharge permits are granted (Peavy,

Rowe and Tchobanoglous, 1985).

Also presently, the focus is shifting from centralized systems to more sustainable

decentralized wastewater treatment (DEWATS) especially for developing countries

where wastewater infrastructure is poor and conventional methods are difficult to

manage.

In the Philippines, only 10% of wastewater is treated while 58% of the

groundwater is contaminated. Only 5% of the total population is connected to a sewer

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 7

network. The vast majority uses flush toilets connected to septic tanks. (UNICEF&WHO

STUDY) According to the UNIDO study, approximately 2,000 cubic meters of solvent

wastes, 22,000 tons of heavy metals, infectious wastes, biological sludge, lubricants, and

intractable wastes, as well as 25 million cubic meters of acid/alkaline liquid wastes are

improperly disposed of annually in Metro Manila alone.

Data from the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), Philippines showed

that out of the 127 freshwater bodies being sampled, 47% percent were found to have

good water quality. However, 40% of those sampled were found to have only fair water

quality, while 13% showed poor water quality. It is estimated that in 2025, water

availability will be marginal in most major cities and in 8 of the 19 major river basins in

the country. Waterborne diseases remain a severe public health concern in the country.

And about 4,200 people die each year due to contaminated drinking water.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Statement of the Problem:

As the research progress, these are the question that needs to be prioritized:

1. Till when is the durability of the research?

2. How much percentage of success on converting wastewater into water

that is safe for the beneficiaries to use for domestic purposes?

3. What are the materials needed for the project?

1.3 Objective of the Study

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 8

 General Objective:

This study aims to develop a water treatment called Wastewater Management

System that converts wastewater into safe water.

Specific Objectives:

 To use measured materials that are abundant and readily available which

composes of 40% White Sand, 40% Activated Carbon, 20%Pebble.

 To test the efficiency of the system to convert the wastewater to potable water

and other usable forms of water by 89.9%.

 To be able to determine the durability of the said research.

1.4 Significance of the Study

Wastewater, which is basically used water, is also a valuable resource, especially

with recurring droughts and water shortage in many areas in Lawaan.

The generalization of this research would be a great contribution to thrifty

household in relation to household monthly savings. Vital result of the investigation

could be highly significant and beneficial specifically to the following:

BARANGAY LAWAAN. This research would be a great contribution to this

Barangay in preventing health problems that can be obtained in contaminated water

such as leptospirosis, ringworm and scabies.

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 9

 Barangay Health Worker(BHW). With the help of this research, BHW may be at

ease regarding the health of the civilian’s due to the elimination of toxins such as

worms, bacteria, protozoa and viruses lingering in water from contamination water.

1.5 Scope and Limitation

This research study aims to provide low cost water recyclable equipment that

will also cover the possibility of producing safe and clean water and how it will be

applicable for our health by using materials such as:

Sand. Sand either fine or course, is generally used as filter media. The

filter sand should generally be obtained from rocks like quartzite, and should

contain the following properties:

 It should be free from dirt and other impurities.

 It should be uniform in nature and size.

 It should be hard and resistant.

 It should be such as not to lose more than 5% of its weight after

being placed in hydrochloric acid for 24 hours.

 fine sand grains hold the static charge that causes some

organisms to stick to the sand

Activated Carbon. Activated Carbon readily absorbs odors and other

impurities from water, including 2, 4-dichloro-hydroxybenzene (a major

harmful pollutant in drinking water), chlorine, and chloroform.

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 10
 Washed and Boiled Pebbles. This prevents the filtering material from

falling out of the bottle. The filtered water on the last layer of the research will

be measured by equipment such as PH Sensor.

PH Sensor. An electric device used to measure hydrogen-ion activity

(acidity or alkalinity) in solution.

1.6 Hypothesis

To provide useable water from used water such as rainwater and leftover

water by creating low cost wastewater equipment, which will be affordable for

everyone.

To make sure that the treated water is 99.9% safe for human consumption by

creating device that will check the quality of the recycled water.

By creating this equipment and device, this will help our society with the

problem in water pollution and to secure the health of the people who will benefit this

research study.

1.7 Conceptual Frameworks

Fig. 1 Conceptual Frameworks

1.8 Theoretical Frameworks

Wastewater Management involves filtering wastewater for domestic use of the

household. With the current knowledge of how an ordinary water filtration and the hardware

needed, the functionality of the research may advance due to detecting bacteria while filtering

water. In order to implement this at its full functionality, the usage of the software “Android

Studio” is needed for the coding of the android program and will be tested many times in order

to work. By using the water filter design, this research substitute

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 12

It with the usage of recyclable materials such as bottle but the materials to be used will be the

same and will be tested to make sure the water filtration will be a success.

1.8 Review of the Related Literature

The Value of Decentralisation in Wastewater Management: Gauteng Province

Case Study, South Africa ( Bucharest - 2012). This paper explores wastewater and grey

water reuse as unconventional resources in a qualitative manner within this balancing

equation. It further proposes a methodology for deriving monetary indicator values for

wastewater reuse by internalising negative environmental impacts. This is achieved

through application of Lagrangian optimisation of the treatment plant production

function (output distance function) for deriving marginal prices of contaminant removal

and resulting avoided pollution.(https://search.proquest.com/docview)

According to this research, wastewater and grey water can be reused. The main

purpose of the current research is the same however the materials to be used is an eco-

friendly and safe. Also, it will be affordable to the households and it can be monitored

using a smart phone that has Bluetooth connectivity

Sustainable wastewater management for Paso del Norte border communities

(Chew, Mariana – 2012). Many communities along the U.S.-Mexico border discharge

treated (or untreated) wastewater and share surface water resources through the Rio

Grande-Bravo. Serious environmental and health risks may result from lack of

treatment, monitoring, and enforcement of wastewater discharges. The purpose of this

research is to analyze and evaluate the regulatory framework of municipal wastewater

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 13
treatment discharge in the New Mexico – Texas – Chihuahua region, based on

environmental, socio-political, and economic parameters. Results of the analysis and

evaluation will be used to provide a basis for stakeholders to promote consensus on

binational wastewater regulation. The thesis of this paper is that wastewater treatment

discharge should be regulated beyond the environmental parameters already in place

and should include socio-political and economic aspects in its regulation. Furthermore,

permitting compliance and enforcement should be systematized to ensure sustainable

regional wastewater management. (https://search.proquest.com/docview)

On this current research, it adapts on the modern age by using technology. With

the use of smart phone as a monitor screen and Bluetooth as connectivity to the PH

Sensor, the filtered water may be monitored depending on the usage capacity of the

smart phone.

LONG TERM WATER STORAGE (Mark Linderman, December 1 ,2018). What

most Americans don’t realize is that our world is in a serious water shortage crisis.

Seventy percent of our planet is covered by water, so it may be easy to think that this

resource will always be plentiful. Fresh water, the water we drink and bathe in, is very

rare, by comparison. Only 3 percent of our water sources on Earth are made up of fresh

water, according to the United Nations. Most of that fraction can only be

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 14

found in glaciers, making it fairly inaccessible. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.)

estimates that almost 1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water, while another

3 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. Many in the world are

exposed to water-borne diseases, such as cholera and typhoid fever, while over 2

million people — most of whom are children — die each year from diarrhea due to

water-borne pathogens. By 2025, the UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’s

population will live in areas of the world that suffer water scarcity as our ecosystem

adversely changes. (http://www.pressreader.com)

According to the research stated, it describes how water is essential to the daily

life of human beings pointing to the fact that most of human beings may die without it

in a matter of three days or less. Depending on age and gender, the human body is

made up of between 50- and 75-percent water. Nevertheless, many of us take water for

granted that it causes scarcity of water or making water a place for toxins to produce. So

with the help of the current research, it may be to be prevented. This research filters

waste water into safe potable water for domestic use to make water reusable many

times as possible.

Integrated, Decentralized Wastewater Management for Resource Recovery in

Rural and Peri-Urban Areas (Andrea G. Capodaglio,2017).Collection and treatment of

wastewater have a huge impact on the environment and economy,

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 15

both at the local and global levels. Eco-innovation may play a paramount role in the

reduction of the environmental impact of such systems, and in their greater

sustainability in economic, environmental, and social terms. Decentralization appears as

a logical solution to tackle sustainability problems of wastewater management systems,

as it focuses on the on-site treatment of wastewater and on local recycling and reuse of

resources contained in domestic wastewater (in primus, water itself). This paper

analyses the needs, technological options and contribution to water management of

decentralized systems. Decentralized solutions in general will tend to be compatible

with local water use and reuse requirements, where locally treated water could support

agricultural productivity or (in more urban areas) be used as a substitute for drinking-

quality supply water for compatible uses. In analyzing sustainability of technology,

different dimensions should be taken into account (in particular, local issues). There is

no fixed or universal solution to the technological issue; to the contrary, all relevant

studies demonstrated there are varying degrees of sustainability in the way a

technology is selected and operated, to avoid exporting problems over time or space.(

This research includes the use of technology to help monitor about the acidity of

the water. PH Sensor is needed for monitoring while smart phones displays the range

whether the water is safe or harmful to use due to acid and alkaline.

The Global Rise of Zero Liquid Discharge for Wastewater Management: Drivers,

Technologies, and Future Directions (Tiezheng Tong and Menachem Elimelech, 2016).

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 16

Zero liquid discharge (ZLD)—a wastewater management strategy that eliminates liquid

waste and maximizes water usage efficiency — has attracted renewed interest

worldwide in recent years. Although implementation of ZLD reduces water pollution and

augments water supply, the technology is constrained by high cost and intensive energy

consumption. In this critical review, we discuss the drivers, incentives, technologies, and

environmental impacts of ZLD. Within this framework, the global applications of ZLD in

the United States and emerging economies such as China and India are examined. We

highlight the evolution of ZLD from thermal- to membrane-based processes, and analyze

the advantages and limitations of existing and emerging ZLD technologies. The potential

environmental impacts of ZLD, notably greenhouse gas emission and generation of solid

waste, are discussed and the prospects of ZLD technologies and research needs are

highlighted.( https://pubs.acs.org)

On this current research, it filters wastewater to clean water however the

materials and the finished product will not cause side effect that will damage the

environment. Moreover, it will be at low cost so that the household may save up

money for their monthly savings.

 Chapter II – Methodology

This chapter describes the operational plan of work strategy. A number of activities in

the plan of work include the following operations: a.) research design; b.) population, sample

size, and sampling technique; c.) description of the respondents; d.) research instrument; e.)

data gathering procedure; f.) statistical treatment of data.

2.1 RESEARCH DESIGN

This study used the quantative methods of research. The design of the research

method must be tackled in such intellectual technique to realize accurate execution for

each phase of Water Filtration process. There are many ways of research techniques

and data collection methods to bring about the desired objective of this type of study.

The difficulty would be deciding which method the data should be collected. In

this research, the researcher used the following research methods:

Survey. Data gathering method that is utilized to collect, analyze and

interpret the views of a group of people from a target population. A

questionnaire will be handed to the household randomly for them to

answer.

Random sampling. A part of the sampling technique in which each

sample has an equal probability of being chosen. A sample chosen

randomly is meant to be an unbiased representation of the total

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 18

 population. If for some reasons, the sample does not represent the

population, the variation is called a sampling error.

Qualitative Research. It is used to gain an understanding of underlying

reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into the problem

or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative

research.

Fig. 2 Software Engineering Prototyping

Often, a customer defines a set of general objectives for software but does not

identify detailed input, processing, or output requirements. In other cases, the

researcher may be unsure of the efficiency of an algorithm, the adaptability of an

operating system, or the form that human/machine interaction should take. In these,

and many other situations, a prototyping paradigm may offer the best approach.

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 19

 COMMUNICATION. Developer and customer meet and define the overall

objectives, requirements, and outline areas where further definition is mandatory.

QUICK PLAN. Based on the requirements and others of the communication part

a quick plane is made to design the software.

QUICK DESIGN. It focuses on a representation of those aspects of the software

that will be visible to the customer/user, such as input approaches and output formats.

CONSTRUCTION OF PROTOTYPE. The quick design leads to the construction of a

prototype.

DEPLOYMENT, DELIVERY AND FEEDBACK. The prototype is evaluated by the

customer/user and used to refine requirements for the software to be developed. All

these steps are repeated to tune the prototype to satisfy user’s need. At the same time

enable the developer to better understand what needs to be done.

2.2 POPULATION OF THE STUDY, SAMPLE SIZE, AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

The target population for this project are the household from Lawaan, which will

be accessible only from 3 Barangays.

For this project, the accessible population comprised all the households in 3

barangay of Lawaan. The table 3.0 presents the records of the household in Lawaan.

In addition to this, the said barangay are considered appropriate as a population of the

study area, because Lawaan has a large number of household that uses water for daily

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 20

basis which is basically came from waste water, therefore they are the best position to

furnish the project.

Fig. 3 Location Map

TABLE 1.0 The records of the household in Lawaan.

Overall, the total sample size of the population that will be affected in this study

came up to 302. The proponent came up of 90 households from Barangay Betaog, 102

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 21

households from Barangay Guinob-an, 110 households from Barangay Taguite. The

sampling technique to be used in this research are:

Random Sampling. The survey questionnaire will be handed to the selected

household randomly

Cluster Sampling. The randomly selected household from each barangay will be

limited into 5 household only.

2.3 DESCRIPTION OF THE RESPONDENTS

Barangay Captain. The researchers went to barangay hall and asked permission

from barangay captain, who will implement or will benefit the said research study.

Barangay Health Worker(BHW). This research includes those household stated

who uses water for domestic needs and for the Barangay Health Worker to monitor the

health condition of those who uses this research.

Household member in Lawaan. The survey questionnaire will answered by the

household using random sampling depending on their availability and cooperation.

2.4 RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The questionnaire will be the major instrument used in this study so that we are

secure despondence to certain questions. The questionnaire that was used in this study

was designed to obtain information on the value of the filtered water.

Open-minded questions will be use to give the respondents the opportunity to

give their response and suggestions.

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 22

 The questionnaire will prepare by the researcher was develop by reading

reference materials and related about the output of the filtered water.

2.5 DATA COLLECTIONS AND DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

In order to obtain final output of data, the following procedure must be

followed:

1. Prepare Questionnaire.

2. Choose a household member using random sampling to answer the survey

while explaining the project further for them to understand.

3. Tally the inputted data by separating the pros and cons to know what will be

the strength and weaknesses of the project.

The handling of questionnaire will be done personally by the researchers and

facilitated by the retrieval of responses. This procedure also enabled the researcher to

conduct interview at the same time consecutively. The researches collected the

answered questionnaire.

2.5 STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

Statistical methods involved in carry out a study include planning, designing,

collecting data, analyzing, drawing meaningful interpretation and reporting of the

research findings.

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 23

 To interpret the date effectively, the researcher will employ the following

statistical treatment. The Percentage, Weighted Mean and T-test are tools use to

interpret data.

1. Percentage

This will employ to determine the frequency counts and percentage distribution of

personal related variables of the respondents.

Formula:

% is the percentage

F is the Frequency

N is the total number of respondents

100 is a constant value

2. Average Weighted Mean

This will be use to determine the assessment of the respondents with regards to

their personal profiles.

Formula:

X is the weighted mean

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology 24

 F is the frequency

x is the weight of each item

N is the number of cases

3. Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA)

This will helpful in making comparison of two or more means which enables a

researcher to draw various results and predictions about two or more sets of data.

Steps in ANOVA

1. First step is to compute the total sum of the squares.

2. Second step is to compute the squares between columns.

3. The third step is to compute for the sum of squares within the column

4. To complete the ANOVA table, calculate the mean of sum of squares.
