Malaysia is a tropical country that experiences a long dry season every year up to 3 or 4 months without rain. This long dry season will cause the fish ponds and crop gardens to dry up and subsequently kill the farmed fish and crops. The water tariff rate is very high and this is not practical for use in fish ponds and vegetable gardens. Waste water from kitchen sinks from residential houses, especially in villages, is dumped directly into drains, rivers and then into oceans without treatment. Waste water from this sink containing grease, fat, volatile organic compounds and so on can cause serious soil and water pollution if it is simply discharged without treatment. Based on the statement of this problem, the best solution is to treat the household sink waste water through green treatment and can be reused for fish farming and crops without any pollution. The objective of this project is to propose and build an effective and environmental friendly waste water treatment system from the home sink by using innovations that have elements of mechanical technology, material technology, and biological technology.
