Background

Remote area in Tellumpoccoe Village, Maros, South Sulawesi have very low availability to the access of clean water sources. Statistic data issued by the Statistic Institution District Maros shows that there are three clean water resources commonly accessed by local people in the region, which are: water supplied by the Official water supplier company (State Owned Company for Local Region Drinking Water Supplier - PDAM), rain water and well-pumped water with the distance from the sanitation system about more than 10 meter [1].

As the number of people who lives under poverty line is high, about 11.93% which makes up about 40,130 persons [2], and limited water pipe interconnection from PDAM, well-pumped water is the most favorable option for the people in the region for their daily use, including for water for consumption. Furthermore, some areas are suffering from high salinity factor which causing the level of salt element in the water is considerably high for human consumption. Besides, the lack of filtering system from the underground water being pumped contributes to the high impact off pollutant elements such as bacteria, virus, detergent, pesticide, metal, radioactive, inorganic mineral.

QECEWAS I

The project aims to achieve the following objectives:

1. To enhance clean water quality for daily use;
2. To develop an awareness among local people in the area about the importance of consuming clean water for drinking and other daily purposes;
