| Summary: | Water is a crucial element in human life, with many aspects depending on it. In
Indonesia, groundwater often serves as the primary source for drinking water,
sanitation, household needs, industry, irrigation, mining, and urban areas.
However, the quality and quantity of water are not always consistent, necessitating
participatory management by the government and the community. Issues such as
exploitation, land subsidence, water quality degradation, and groundwater crises
require greater attention. This research aims to map groundwater quality and
household-scale water treatment technologies in Bandung City. The study uses both
quantitative and qualitative methods, with 226 groundwater samples and
questionnaires from previous studies. Groundwater quality testing focused on three
parameters: iron, manganese, and fluoride, using spectrophotometry. The results
showed that 90% of the data exceeded the iron (Fe) quality standard, 44% exceeded
the manganese (Mn) standard, and 91% exceeded the fluoride (F) standard. The
quality standards used are listed in the Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023.
The research results are mapped to illustrate groundwater quality for each
parameter in 30 districts in Bandung City, along with a map of water treatment
technology usage by 29% of respondents who use it. The study also shows the
relationship between groundwater quality and community behavior, such as water
use for drinking, as well as the socio-economic status of respondents. The
relationship between groundwater quality and water treatment technology usage
was analyzed using cross-tabulation, showing that only 69.6% (iron quality) and
70.7% (manganese quality) of those with water quality above the standard have not
yet used recommended treatment technologies.
