5 Types of Clean Water Sources for Housing
Clean water and its availability in residential areas are vital. Water is not only necessary for human health, but sufficient and safe clean water also serves as a daily comfort for modern humans. In typical housing and settlements in Indonesia, there are several types of water sources that can be used to meet daily needs. This water source is also a consideration for some people when buying a house.
1. Springs
Springs are usually found in mountainous and hilly areas. This water comes from rainwater that seeps into the ground and emerges through rocks due to specific geological conditions. Spring water is generally of good quality and contains many minerals. Spring water can be used directly for daily needs, but for drinking, it is better to boil it first.
2. Groundwater
Groundwater is the most common source used in housing and residential areas. Groundwater originates from rainwater trapped in sedimentary cracks in the ground. The most common method for finding groundwater is by digging a well or using an electric pump. However, groundwater use is now being regulated because long-term excessive use is a major factor in land subsidence and environmental harm.
3. Rainwater
Rainwater is water that comes from the evaporation of water from the air. However, rainwater is often contaminated by pollutants such as gases and dust. To obtain clean rainwater, you can collect it in a reservoir, such as a tank or reservoir, and then undergo a natural or modern filtration process.
4. Surface Water
If properly treated, water from rivers, swamps, and the sea can also be used as clean water and for drinking. However, surface water is easily contaminated by various pollutants dissolved in it. Surface water needs to be treated first to ensure it is completely safe for consumption.
5. Regional Drinking Water Companies (PDAM)
Water from PDAM (Regional Drinking Water Companies) is water that is collected and processed to produce hygienic and safe water for human consumption. PDAM water often comes from reservoirs, rivers, and lakes and is distributed through pipes. With a stable water supply and a treatment process that ensures potable water quality, this is a key advantage of PDAM (Regional Water Company).
