The Impact of Sumberporong Village Community's Sanitation Behavior on Welang River Water Quality

Abstract

Human activities have caused environmental problems in the Welang River. These activities are pollution related to the disposal of household waste and the use of toilets. Environmental diseases such as ARI, TB, dengue fever, malaria, worms and skin diseases are caused by this circumstance. In order to understand how sanitation efforts affect water quality and to prevent the development of more complicated problems, it is crucial to examine the existing quality level of the river water in Welang. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used in this research, with descriptive methods. This study compares the findings with PP No. 22 of 2021 in an effort to determine how sanitation operations have affected the water quality of the Welang River. Analyses conducted in accordance with PP. No. 22 of 2021 have shown that the water quality of the Welang River remains adequate. However, despite the lack of sanitation initiatives, this pollution has taken place.
