Encik Mohd Suhaimi explaining Sistem Pelupusan Air Limbah(SPAL) " water waste disposal system"

SPAL first filter the kitchen sink product, the water then collected before undergone sand/stone filter and finally grossly filter before draining into the common drain.


Sistem Pelupusan Sisa Pejal (SPSP) or solid waste disposal system can be contributed by degradable waste including filtered waste from SPAL. The hole dug in the ground is covered by the mobile plastic cover to avoid flies untill it is filled. the next hole is dug, place the old hole plastic cover and the old filled hole is used as fertile ground for planting trees such as fruit trees
