“…The maximum amount of EC was found at Jamnagar Union, which was more than 1000 μS/cm. The higher EC values of the studied area indicate that the water has higher soluble salts as well as dissolved solids, a higher level of ionic concentration, and the presence of high inorganic pollutants such as dissolved salts, sewage water, agricultural runoff [ 61 , [63] , [64] , [65] , [66] ]. Also, it was found that EC has a positive correlation with TDS (0.574), TS (0.538), and turbidity (0.461), with p < 0 0.05 indicating EC value increase as TDS, TS, and turbidity increase.…”

“…Assessing the impact of water governance implementation crucially involves examining water consumption patterns to identify existing problems. A study by Debnath et al [51] shows that the perception of safe water by Chattogram citizens has demonstrated the need for the government to improve the water quality. Also, a study by Okumah and Yeboah [52] shows that the perception of the public regarding water quality issues becomes vital in shaping water governance from the top-down perspective since the perception from the public could be used as feedback to the government on improving the water quality.…”

Water governance becomes essential to meet societal needs despite water scarcity. However, in Indonesia, disparities in water governance, especially in the area of water quality perception, continue to exist. Therefore, this study investigates how water quality perception is influenced by examining key factors such as satisfaction, trust, and socioeconomic status. This study was conducted in Jakarta by surveying through a questionnaire. This study employed satisfaction, trust, and socio-economic status as independent variables and the perception of water quality as a dependent variable. Also, the chi-square test and ordinal logistic regression were employed to test the hypothesis and the significance between independent and dependent variables. Chi-square tests reveal correlations between trust, socioeconomic status, and perception of water quality. However, regression analysis highlights socio-economic status and trust as the primary influential factors. The study provides evidence of unequal access to water across different socio-economic statuses and demonstrates how the need for government transparency and trust in water institutions affects urban communities' perceptions of water quality.

“…Obviously, there are several sources of drinking water such as surface water, ground water, bottled water, but most citizens in developed country use the public water distribution networks, therefore, a lot of the researcher's recent efforts have been concentrated on establishing drinking water quality in different areas. Several factors or combination of factors such as chemical contaminants, microbial contaminants, sediments, temperature, nutrients level or pH, are taken into consideration when drinking water quality is analyzed (Petculescu et al, 2022;Prety Debnath et al, 2022;Villanueva et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2023). The subject presents interest, not only to researchers, but also to the European Union who has issued a new directive on the quality of water intended for human consumption (Dettori et al, 2022) and to environmental protection agency from USA that presents pointof-use (e.g., reverse osmosis, active carbon filter, etc.)…”

The study shows the findings of a microscopic examination of samples of filtered water obtained using five different types of filters. The novelty of the approach to the research carried out in this paper consisted in using of a statistical mathematical model that confers increased accuracy on the resulting values, with the aim of characterizing the efficiency and quality of drinking water filters intended for the general public for domestic consumption at the national level. Atomic force microscopy was used to carry out the analysis, and particular mathematical models were used to statistically evaluate the findings. The paper explains the methodology used, including details on the laboratory setup, the steps finished, and the tools used to accomplish the suggested goals. With an emphasis on the three dimensions of the particles—height, diameter, and arithmetic roughness—the findings from the microscopic analysis of the particle deposits on the filtered water samples are given and tabular indexed. As a result, it was feasible to use a computational mathematical model to identify the statistical indicators of the values recorded in the samples that underwent microscopical analysis. Following the application of the mathematical model, the findings were centralized, and their correlation was analyzed using graphical representations. The results led to the concrete identification of the impurity degree of drinking water filtered by consumer means.
