Abstract

Currently shrimp farming is still unreliable as an economic commodity due to climate and environmental conditions around the pond waters. When both of them are environmentally friendly, harvest of shrimps can make farmers rich. Instead, farmers could go bankrupt because of the invasion of a disease caused by a virus. Efforts usually carried out by farmers are to let their ponds neglegted until conditions are restored, and it could be years left neglected ponds. Prospective efforts are needed to address chronic problems that always afflict farmers in this sector to improve water quality and provide adequate nutrition so that shrimp farming can be sustainable. Water recovery system configuration will provide quality of water that meets water quality standards for shrimp farming system water. Roughing filters have been shown to reduce levels of turbidity, bacteria, organic, and detergent by 60%, 88%, 40% and 10% respectively. While slow sand filter proved to lower turbidity, bacteria, organic, and detergent by 96%, 99%, 45% and 18% respectively. With a perfect insulation system, the treated water is returned to the pond and only small amount.
