ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN KETEREDIAAN AIR BERSIH ANTARA KAWASAN PERUMAHAN DAN PERKAMPUNGAN

Abstract

Clean water is an important element that affects the quality of life and sustainable development. This study was conducted to compare the availability of clean water in the Mustika Grande housing area with Kampung Areman. Using a descriptive qualitative method, information was gathered through direct observation and interviews with local residents. The findings indicate a significant difference between the two locations. Although Mustika Grande is regarded as a modern area, its groundwater quality is poor and the distribution of water from the local water company (PDAM) is uneven. In contrast, in Kampung Areman, which depends on dug wells, the water quality is better and is managed collectively by the residents. Various factors such as infrastructure, community behavior, and environmental awareness contribute to these differences. This research underscores the importance of education for the community, collaboration between sectors, and efficient clean water treatment to support the fair and sustainable availability of clean water.
