Abstract

The use of clean water around the world continues to increase along with the increase in population and is increasing when the whole world is hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, research is carried out to treat greywater waste effectively in a simple and inexpensive way. The method used in this study is a single method, namely filtration (a mixture of soil and sand, activated char- coal and gravel), Lepironia articulata and a combination of the two methods, namely constructed wetland subsurface vertical flow. The results of this study showed a decrease in BOD and COD levels reaching 97%, 88% phosphate, 18% pH and 95% MBAS in the constructed wetland. This is due to the synergistic in- teraction between plants, media and microorganisms in removing pollutants ef- fectively. This research needs to be developed further and explore the capabilities of each constructed wetland element, especially the Lepironia articulata
