The Application of Green Technology in Clean Water Treatment Installation: A Case Study of Batuah Village

Abstract

Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, critical to life and health, especially in many rural regions such as Batuah Village. However, several obstacles, including the geographic layout, absence of natural rivers or surface water, and lack of a comprehensive public water supply network, have made the provision of clean water to these communities exceedingly challenging. This study, titled "The Application of Green Technology in Clean Water Treatment Installation: A Case Study of Batuah Village," is concentrated on employing environmentally-friendly technology in water purification. The objective is to ascertain its impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of water treatment processes. Through the deployment of sustainable water treatment systems, the research aspires to evaluate the performance of such technologies in enhancing water quality, accessibility, and sustainability. This research delves into the strengths and weaknesses of the existing system, proposes potential improvements, and assesses the implications of adopting these green technologies on the socio-economic fabric of the village. The insights derived could be beneficial for other similar contexts striving to ensure clean water availability in challenging environments. This research applied a collaborative strategic planning method, involving Batuah Village Government, Samarinda State Polytechnic, and the community in planning the Pamsimas program. The Pamsimas Water Treatment Installation (IPA Pamsimas) Karya Makmur, a community-managed system guided by government, educational institutions, and BSSR, demonstrated this synergistic approach. The study aimed to implement, sustain, and assess the clean water program's effectiveness using observations, interviews, and tests in the Batuah village area.
