Abstract

Aims: This study was aimed to evaluates the development of the water distribution network in the IKK PDAM Lama of Konawe Kepulauan Regency- Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, particularly in West Wawonii Sub-district, which faces the challenge of increasing water demand due to population growth and urbanization. Methodology and results: The study utilized survey methods of water pressure, discharge, and physical condition of the network, as well as secondary data such as network maps and PDAM technical reports. Water demand projections were conducted based on the technical standards of the Minister of Public Works and Housing Regulation No.27/PRT/M/2016, with network hydraulics simulations using EPANET 2.2 software to analyze water pressure and flow under existing conditions and after network development. Conclusion, significance and impact study: Simulation results indicate that the water distribution network developed in 2025 fails to meet community demand, evidenced by negative pressure zones requiring network design revision. Initial optimization involved increasing the main pipe diameter to 150 mm and using Galvanized Iron Pipe (GIP) to reduce leakage, which satisfied demand until 2035 but fell short by 2040. Further optimization increased the main pipe diameter to 200 mm and the divider pipe to 160 mm, successfully meeting water demand until 2045. This study highlights the necessity of sustainable planning and continuous optimization in water distribution networks to maintain adequate service pressure and reliable clean water supply, especially in rapidly growing urban areas.

Abstract

Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology has attracted interest for its dual role in wastewater treatment and energy generation. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a Modified Septic Tank-Microbial Fuel Cell (MST-MFC) for office domestic wastewater treatment, focusing on organic matter, ammonia removal, and electricity generation. Methodology and results:  In this study, synthetic wastewater was prepared to simulate the typical composition of domestic effluent from office buildings. The main variables measured in this study included pH, temperature, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), and ammonia levels. A 196 L reactor (36 h HRT) with anoxic, anaerobic, aerobic, and sedimentation zones was equipped with three pairs of zinc–copper electrodes (2 cm spacing) placed in anaerobic (anode) and aerobic (cathode) chambers. Synthetic wastewater with controlled COD:N:P ratios was applied at two organic loading rates (OLRs): 7 and 11.94 mg COD/L.h. At the lower OLR, COD removal reached 100% versus 93.85% at the higher OLR. Ammonia removal was also higher (27.61% vs. 17.59%), while electricity generation peaked with 461.88 mV, 355.67 mW/m2, and 0.0970% Coulombic efficiency. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The MST-MFC showed strong potential for decentralized wastewater treatment with energy recovery, though limited ammonia removal indicates further optimization is needed, with OLR as a key factor.

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to find out how the Pereng community receives education about environmental conservation and cultural creativity through murals, which villagers are familiar with, to ease the burden in terms of cleanliness, for example, dry leaves that fall to the ground because they will rot into compost by natural processes. Methodology and results: The quality of water and soil around Pereng is decreasing based on research results from a team from the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Somebody took a series of approaches, including outreach from the Department of Regency Health. The Pereng people have the character of being able to easily receive information through an arts and cultural approach that is close to their lives. Direct socialization methods tend to be unacceptable because they are judgmental. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: This study show that sensitive people prefer mural images as a means of education compared to direct socialization, which takes up their activity time, are easier to interpret, and are non-judgmental. The Pereng people's busy lives as farmers and traders have been entertained by rich, colorful, and shape murals. The Pereng Creative Village pilot requires strengthening so that somebody can quickly understand the dynamic character of the Pereng community. Murals are an attractive visual medium to explain calls for environmental awareness through two-dimensional images. Murals scattered at several points in Pereng Village represent the village's nature, agricultural products, arts and culture, and productive activities of the community, such as planting rice.

Abstract

Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) are considered an innovative approach to urban water management, but their application in Indonesia is still very limited. Aim: This study was aimed to analyze the impact of land use change on runoff coefficient and its implication for socio-economic resilience in post-flood conditions in Kuantan Tengah District, Riau Province. Methodology and results: The research applied a spatial-hydrological and socio-economic approach, integrating drone imagery, GIS-based land classification, runoff coefficient analysis, field drainage assessment, and community surveys. Results revealed that the average runoff coefficient (Cr) increased to 0.57 due to land conversion into impervious surfaces, especially residential and road areas. This condition led to inadequate drainage capacity and contributed to urban flooding. Socio-economic impacts identified include infrastructure damage, income loss in local businesses, health problems, and psychological stress. SWOT analysis highlighted institutional strengths and public awareness, but also emphasized weak ecosystem-based management. Conclusion, significance and impact study: A Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) model was proposed to overcome these challenges, combining green infrastructure, zoning policy, SOP (standard operating procedures) for drainage maintenance, and community participation. This study provides a novel integrative framework for urban flood risk mitigation based on hydrological and socio-economic indicators and offers policy insights for sustainable spatial planning in flood-prone regions.  The solutions offered directly support several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 6 on Clean Water and Sanitation, and SDG 13 on Climate Action.

Abstract

Aims: This study aims to investigate the effect of binder variations on the compressive strength of eco paving blocks composed of four layered materials-rice husk, quartz sand, gravel, and activated carbon-each with a thickness of 6 cm. Methodology and results: The application is directed toward wastewater treatment using the rain garden method. Laboratory experiments were conducted to obtain reliable performance data. The results show that cement-bonded paving blocks demonstrate superior performance compared to those using fly ash binders. Cement adhesives ensured strong cohesion between layers, with blocks maintaining integrity during demolding without signs of damage or porosity. In contrast, paving blocks with fly ash binders required longer drying times due to the high moisture absorption of quartz sand, and they exhibited brittleness caused by weak adhesion. Extended curing was necessary before fly ash could adequately bond the base materials. Conclusion, significance and impact study: Quantitative findings revealed that paving blocks with cement adhesives achieved an average compressive strength of 836.25 MPa, higher than the 696.25 MPa of fly ash-bonded blocks. These results imply that cement remains the more effective binder for eco paving blocks in rainwater runoff and wastewater treatment, while fly ash requires optimization to improve its bonding performance. Eco-paving provides a nature-based, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for urban wastewater management, achieving both structural durability and effective pollutant removal.
