Waste Water Management in the Philippines

I. Introduction This report aims to discuss and enrich the reader's understanding of the proper removal and disposal of waste accumulated in the septic tank. The information gathered here is very important as it provides a culture on how to handle wastewater to everyone. Drainage comes from everywhere; from our house to our workplace, even to public places. Like us, Filipinos are known to be hygienic, but what happens when we used wash water in the drain pipe until it was brought to the processing plant I did not know very little.

Only 10% of Philippine wastewater is processed in an environmentally friendly way. As the population increases, there are problems with waste management and disposal. Inappropriate waste management could affect coastal areas where country groundwater, rivers, lakes and species habitats are threatened. Catch occurs when captured fish are faster than breeding. Overfishing increases the vulnerability of marine ecosystems and can lead to species loss in that area. The main problem in the Philippines is the cyanide fishery where fishermen scatter cyan into coral holes and cracks. Other causes of overfishing include premature fishery, breeding of adults, and damage to many people. Economic overfishing can also occur when an increase in fish effort results in a lower level of benefit than is required.

In the Philippines, particularly in Metro Manila, appropriate waste management remains a major issue. The Senate Economic Planning Bureau notes that serious waste management that poses serious health hazards and environmental impacts, leaving unresolved inappropriate waste disposal, inefficient waste disposal, and lack of waste disposal facilities We identified it as a problem. According to the 2017 International Coastal Purification Report, more than 13 million items were discovered on the world coastline and the ocean floor, resulting in a total of 8 million kilograms of garbage. At least 4 million of the top ten products collected are plastic products such as beverage bottles, caps, glass covers, food packaging, straws.

Large quantities of food produced are wasted around the world. Production of wasted food has a major impact on resources, but little is known about the energy and water consumed to process food waste. Here we will explain food waste in the Food - Energy - Water (FEW) relationship, analyze the impact of various FEWs by producing uneatable food and managing food loss and waste. We found that various food waste management programs such as waste prevention, landfilling, composting, anaerobic digestion and incineration provide a viable path for the impacts and opportunities of the FEW. In addition, comprehensive and sustainable management of food waste involves multiple levels of governance and multiple mechanisms and entities at the individual consumer level. In order to solve the complicated food waste problem, we proposed a "food waste system" method to optimize resources within the FEW.
