Salah satu cara pengolahan limbah cair adalah dengan sistem Constructed Wetlands (CWs) yang dirancang dan dibangun dengan melibatkan media tanam, salah satunya dengan bambu air (equisetum hyemale). Tujuan literatur review ini mengkaji tanaman bambu air (equisetum hyemale) dengan sistem constructed wetlands terhadap BOD, COD, dan pH limbah cair. Metode yang digunakan adalah telaah pustaka dengan mengkaji 9 artikel yang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan sesuai pertanyaan penelitian. Hasil studi didapatkan bahwa terjadinya penurunan kadar BOD, COD dan pH yang terkandung dalam air limbah sehingga terjadinya peningkatan kualitas air limbah sebelum dibuang ke badan air. Rata-rata penurunan pencemaran air limbah dengan tanaman bambu air pada berat tanaman 0,5 kg untuk BOD sebesar 80,55%, COD sebesar 76,35% dan pH sebesar 5,5. Kemudian pada berat tanaman 0,75 kg untuk BOD sebesar 86,19%, COD sebesar 73,69% dan pH tetap berada di angka 5,5. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa tanaman bambu air dengan sistem constructed wetlands dapat menurunkan kandungan BOD, COD dan pH air limbah, walaupun untuk penurunan COD belum mencapai efisiensi removal sebesar 85% dan untuk nilai pH hasil ini masih dibawah baku mutu sebesar 6-9, namun dibanding dengan pH awal sebelum pengolahan dapat dilihat mengalami kenaikan. Maka dari hasil literatur review ini direkomendasikan untuk diterapkan atau diaplikasikan baik di bidang industri maupun rumah tangga karena metode ini mudah diterapkan dan memakan biaya yang relatif murah serta efektif dan efisien.

One way of treating liquid waste is the Constructed Wetlands (CWs) system, which is designed and built by involving planting media, one of which is water bamboo (equisetum hyemale). The purpose of this review literature is to examine aquatic bamboo plants (equisetum hyemale) with constructed wetlands systems against BOD, COD, and pH of liquid waste. The method used is a literature review by reviewing 9 articles that fit the inclusion criteria and according to the research question. The results of the study showed that there was a decrease in the levels of BOD, COD and pH contained in wastewater resulting in an increase in the quality of wastewater before being discharged into the water body. The average reduction in waste water pollution with water bamboo plants at plant weight of 0.5 kg for BOD was 80.55%, COD was 76.35% and pH was 5.5. Then the plant weight of 0.75 kg for BOD is 86.19%, COD is 73.69% and pH remains at 5.5. So it can be concluded that water bamboo plants with constructed wetlands systems can reduce the content of BOD, COD and pH of wastewater, although the removal of COD has not reached 85% and for the pH value this result is still below the quality standard of 6-9, but compared to with the initial pH before processing can be seen to have increased. So from the results of the literature this review is recommended to be applied or applied both in the industrial and household fields because this method is easy to apply and costs relatively cheap, effective and efficient.
