Purpose of Wastewater Treatment
Sanitation ⇒ Water Environmental Conservation
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Goal 6
Ensure availability (continuously adopted goals since MDGs) and sustainable management (new goals from SDGs) of water and sanitation for all
• By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all • By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying
special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations • By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous
chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally
• By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity
• By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate
• By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes
• By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies
• Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management

Consideration Points When We Think about Domestic Wastewater Management in Asian Region
1. Increase of Volume of Domestic Wastewater
Discharge from Urban Area due to Population Increase and Urbanization
2. Low Coverage Ratio of Sewerage Treatment System
3. Septic Tank
4. Economical Condition 8

Summary
• Domestic wastewater is major pollution source to water environment in
many Asian countries. In the respect of water environmental conservation, it is important to reduce the pollution load from domestic sector.
• When we plan to develop domestic wastewater treatment in Asian countries, it is essential to
consider social-economical situation in
the region.
