Against the backdrop of promoting rural revitalization and ecological protection, quality life living environment has been greatly improved. But with improvement in standards, amount domestic sewage discharge also increased, bringing enormous pressure to environment. Therefore, strengthening construction management treatment facilities is an important part achieving sustainable development. This article takes areas western China as example investigate analyze characteristics existing problems their facilities. A set evaluation indicators for suitable regions constructed, which covers three aspects indicators: Technology, Environment, Economy. The weights each indicator are determined through fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. Validate model specific cases ensure practicality accuracy system. provides a certain reference scientific development China. practical significance useful environmental protection other regions.

Climate change poses challenges to infrastructure resilience in Southeast Asia's flood-prone regions. This study identifies and evaluates strategies for enhancing through wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia. Using a mixed-method approach, we analyzed the case studies conducted quantitative assessments of flood mitigation efforts. Data were collected (2021–2024) site visits, interviews with key stakeholders, analysis historical performance data. involved statistical methods assessing their effectiveness comparative analyses across them. Singapore reduced areas by 30% using integrated WWTP technologies drainage systems, while Malaysia developed resilient networks WWTPs designed withstand extreme weather, preventing 85% contamination cases. Thailand combined green blue WWTPs, decreasing vulnerability 25%. Indonesia invested decentralized urban areas, increasing 40%. Nature-based solutions, such as ecological restoration, reduce flooding impacts 20%. The implications policymakers practitioners include need integrate advanced nature-based solutions bolster mitigate risks. offers insights into developing effective climate adaptation flood-vulnerable regions, emphasizing critical role resilience.

ABSTRACT A sufficient water supply is important for human health; however, it results in the generation of large amounts domestic wastewater. This study aimed to determine impact wastewater on surrounding environment as well residents' opinions issue. Domestic consists blackwater (toilet wastewater) and greywater (miscellaneous wastewater), each which discharged different ways. Blackwater was treated using a septic tank, without required desludging, despite policy goals, owing lack awareness among residents structural problems. However, targeted tanks efficiently removed microbiological indicators. It assumed that larger capacity tropical savanna climate, with consistently high temperatures, were beneficial treatment process. Greywater into public waters any caused degradation waterside environment. More than 70% respondents thought there problem canal flows close houses; variation awareness. necessary reduce load from household at source much possible, this goal requires have an accurate understanding emissions.

In Malaysia, 43%-70% of household wastewater is greywater, with characteristics influenced by lifestyle, fixtures, and weather. It often discharged untreated, posing environmental health risks. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, practices, key factors influencing greywater management among rural residents in Perak, Malaysia. A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to April 2023, involving 121 participants selected via Linear Time Function sampling method. Data were analyzed using a structured questionnaire Chi-square analysis, revealing significant association between knowledge attitudes toward management, higher awareness linked more positive perceptions willingness adopt proper practices (p < 0.001). Additionally, individuals better likely engage systematic disposal methods, such as septic tanks instead direct discharge = 0.006). The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers stakeholders designing community-driven strategies that enhance public awareness, improve infrastructure, support sustainable water resource management. Further research recommended investigate underlying community behaviors particularly socio-cultural, economic, perceptual barriers contribute knowledge-to-practice gap areas.
