2. Determine the effect hydraulic loading rate on the reduction efficiency of the hydroponic system on the contaminants present in the domestic wastewater in terms of the following wastewater parameters;a.) Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)b.) pHc.) Colord.) Odor

3. Evaluate the kinetics of BOD removal of water spinach in a modified nutrient film technique hydroponic system design.

4. Compare the final effluent characteristics with the national standards for wastewater treatment effluents.

5. Determine the economic feasibility of constructing and application to the hydroponic wastewater treatment system to the target community.
