In Indonesia, although centralized domestic wastewater treatment facilities such as sewage systems and decentralized domestic wastewater treatment facilities such as SANIMAS are spreading, there is a situation where domestic wastewater treatment measures from individual house hold is not sufficient. In order to improve and conserve the water environment in Indonesia, it is necessary to properly treat domestic wastewater even from individual houses.
Based upon the “Memorandum of Cooperation Between the Ministry of the Environment of Japan and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia on Environmental Cooperation” signed on August 2022, Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MOEJ) and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia (KLHK) will hold this seminar to discuss the promotion of decentralized domestic wastewater management to improve the water environment in Indonesia. The Indonesian side will provide information on the current status and challenges of decentralized domestic wastewater management, and the Japanese side will provide information on the system of decentralized domestic wastewater management by Johkasou as case in Japan. In the discussion session, it is expected to discuss how to improve towards the appropriate effluent monitoring of decentralized domestic wastewater treatment facilities in Indonesia. Through this seminar, it is expected that efforts to improve the effectiveness of decentralized domestic wastewater management in Indonesia including in the new capital city (IKN) will be promoted in near future.
