Abstract
The On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF), commonly named as Septic Tank Systems, is supposedly to provide adequate treatment for individual private dwellings. In reality, because of its poor efficiency and lack of sound engineering design, the OSSF has become a modern façade to pollute the land and groundwater resources legally and unethically. The objective of this paper is to present an innovative design approaches for OSSF based on evapotranspiration bed design formulations to provide the needed sustainability for land and local environment where the OSSF is situated.
