Sustainable Management of Water and Sanitation - Indonesia

Using conventional method equipment, an expert and his colleague, Suhendi, 45, are searching for the depth of a drilled well to get a source of clean water in the USU Residence III complex, Pewarta Foto Indonesia (PFI) Medan cluster, Patumbak, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on May 5, 2025. The availability of clean water for subsidized houses in Indonesia is a crucial issue that is closely related to the existence of water throughout the world, which globally 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, although only about 3% is fresh water, and most of it is bound in glaciers and ice sheets, defining the amount of fresh water that is easily accessible for human needs is very limited. Globally, billions of people still do not have access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation. Efforts to provide clean water for subsidised houses in Indonesia are part of Target 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), which is to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation
