Almocera, A.T. Jr
As the demand for domestic and industrial use of water increases, the potential threat to the environment in terms of pollutants from the wastewater can increase. The nutrients present in the wastewater may have negative impact to the environment. To a receiving body of water, this can cause undesirable effect such as eutrophication and unpleasant odor. It would be disastrous for the environment if this wastewater were not checked. A good, effective and pro-active wastewater management is important for sustainable development in the region such as Cebu. Land application is a potential alternative choice for it treats wastewater as a resource rather than a problem to be rectified. The result of the study may contribute to improving the policy and regulations on wastewater management in the Philippines. This study hopes to show insights for wastewater treatment plant operators and promote further technical as well as scientific research on land application development
