“…Although fully centralized systems have been widely used in the last decades, the latest recommendations based on research and cost-benefit analyses suggest transitioning away from these systems towards more adaptable and sustainable ones, thus leading to a shift from conventional centralized systems to either hybrid or fully decentralized ones (Dev et al, 2021;Castellar et al, 2022). Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems (DWTS) have been shown to be a sustainable, viable, flexible, reliable, and cost-effective alternative source of water, especially useful on a small scale (Gukelberger et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2021;Maryati et al, 2022). Furthermore, the use of DWRS, apart from enhancing environmental protection and resource recovery, may lead to environmental and local economic development (Jahne et al, 2020;Van de Walle et al, 2022;Estévez et al, 2022).…”

Research background: The increasing water demand together with an unceasing production of wastewater worldwide has resulted in a situation where the scarcity and pollution of water resources are jeopardizing and depleting such a vital asset. Purpose of the article: In this context, Nature Based Solutions (NBS) such as Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands (VFCWs) are key because of their capacity of channelling a waste into a resource. However, and notwithstanding their essential role, their financial benefits too often go unnoticed because of missing research that study them from an economic perspective and this article has covered this existing gap. The objective of this research is to analyse the economic consequences of using VFCW against its traditional alternative through a comprehensive economic assessment. Methods: After doing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a combination of two approaches has been carried out. This research has developed a holistic approach where a Life Cycle Cost Assessment (LCCA) based on a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) along with an economic evaluation of cleaning environmental costs have been calculated for two different scenarios. For this monetary analysis, the environmental externalities derived from the use of cleaning the pollution caused by a public water supply and sewerage system and the VFCW have been quantified. Findings & value added: Results conclude that VFCW apart of being a cost-effective and profitable alternative for an investor, it has also valuable benefits for the society in general because of its meaningful and positive externalities and the high removal cost of the environmental pollutants of the traditional water supply and sewage system both contributing directly to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, 4/5 environmental impacts derived from the use of traditional alternative pollute more than twice as much as the VFCW does. Lastly, the cleaning costs difference between both alternatives is 1,984,335?.

“…This is because some households still use well water as a source of clean water. The assumed value is determined with the consideration that the water supply system has a higher sustainability value than taking groundwater from wells, so that in the future it is expected that groundwater withdrawal from wells will decrease [12]. The clean water consumption per person is 110 L/day [13].…”

The commitment to provide clean water and proper sanitation is one of the goals of the Sustainable Development Programs (SDGs). The government of each region needs to strive for clean water for the community. Efforts to fulfill clean water can be realized with the Water Supply System. Water Supply System sustainability indicators need to fulfill three aspects of quality, quantity, and continuity. The aim of this research is to assess the sustainability of the ‘Sugio’ Water Supply System in Lamongan Regency which serves three villages, namely Sugio, Lebakadi, and Sekarbagus. The aspect of water quality, seen from the results of the analysis of the quality of production water, shows that it meets the quality standards as raw water for drinking water. The aspect of water quantity is calculated to meet water needs for the next 20 years. The calculations results show that the daily average debit requirement is 17 L/s and the daily maximum debit is 19 L/s, while the existing debit is 15 L/s. The aspect of water continuity is calculated from the ability to distribute water during an emergency. The calculation results show that the distribution of clean water when there is no source of electrical energy can only be carried out in a maximum of 1 hour 13 minutes 48 seconds. The conclusion obtained is that the sustainability of the ‘Sugio’ Water Supply System from the aspect of water quantity and continuity still needs to be improved.

“…In Indonesia, community participation as a method of decentralized water supply system (DWSS) for areas that are not covered by pipeline water systems is prevalent, i.e., the disadvantaged urban areas (for example, [11,29,30]). There are various types of DWSS: buying water from traveling vendors, water terminals, rainwater harvesting, public wells, and collaborative networks.…”

“…Household access to groundwater in Indonesian cities is almost without a permit, which eventually harms water sustainability [27]. It is also expected that no one monitors or controls the use of public water sources, and such would lead to the tragedy of the commons [11,31]. [32] found that the existence of power relations between formal and informal leaders and strong social ties within the community determine the willingness to engage in community-based water management and, thus, the system's sustainability.…”

“…The government's limitation emphasizes the need for involving communities in urban water management to provide sustainable water for people. In Indonesia, the average coverage of clean water service in 2018 was 65.28% [10], pipeline networks provide less than 30% of the service, and more than 70% of households rely on self-sufficient and community-based water provision [11].…”

Debates on the effectiveness of top-down versus bottom-up approaches in water management in urban areas are still ongoing. This study examines the effectiveness of community participation as a bottom-up approach. The narrative review is employed to describe 16 cases of community participation. Three themes emerge from the case studies: the success story and failure of community participation from outside of Indonesia, lessons learned and best practices of community participation from Indonesia, and self-supply as an alternative water provision. Then a discussion of the findings based on the themes found in the literature was carried out. The study found that community participation would be successful if the participatory elements were satisfied, including sufficient capacity and knowledge of the community involved to ensure meaningful participation, involving local government in the education of how to manage and conserve water supply, and involving women in project sustainability. Hence, a pure community participation approach, particularly in disadvantaged urban areas, cannot be achieved. Therefore, a holistic approach combining a top-down and a bottom-up approach is recommended. Self-supply water provision emerged as another method that has largely been ignored by the government and academia but serves as a common practice, particularly in developing countries.
