“…Drinking water with low pH could also cause gastrointestinal irritations. The lower than permissible pH range obtained from the different water sources may be linked to the geology of the study area (Owamah et al, 2020). The acidic water also could be cause a corrosive situation for the pipeline distribution.…”

The need for water supply at University X still depends on groundwater. The use of groundwater as a source of water at University X as sanitation for students and academic workers. The purpose of this study is to identify the quality of groundwater in all faculties at the University X with parameters nitrate (NO3-), manganese (Mn), pH, TDS, and Escherichia Coli and to investigate the correlation between distance of wells and septic tank with quality of groundwater especially Escherichia Coli. Chemical parameter of groundwater was analyzed by Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) method, and biological parameter by using Most Probable Number method and compared with the regulation Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 32, 2017. The research was conducted by taking samples of well by tap water to see physical, chemicals, and biological parameters. Analyzing showed that TDS has no significant number that exceed the regulation standard. Other parameters, such as pH has 18,52% of samples fulfil the regulation standard. Mangan (Mn) has 45.68% of groundwater samples contaminated and Nitrate (No3-) has 12.35%. E. coli parameters has 25-points sample that contaminated the water quality. In conclusion, Final result of statistic analyzing correlation between water quality and distance between septic tank and well indicates has no significant correlation.

“…E. coli concentrations in groundwater ranged from 0 to 49 CFU/100 ml and averaged 5.01 CFU/100 ml. The high concentration of E. coli in groundwater can be influenced by the presence of wells with septic tanks that are too close together (Dey et al, 2017;Owamah et al, 2021;Rohmah et al, 2018) or not in accordance with regulatory standards as the minimum distance wells and septic tank is 10 meters (Badan Standardisasi Nasional Indonesia, 2017). In this study, the results of statistical analysis explain that the distance of the bore wells to the septic tank has a relationship with the emergence of E. coli in groundwater (Asymp.…”

Groundwater plays an important role in human life as it is often used in daily life and used as raw water for drinking water. This study aims to determine the quality of groundwater in several public facilities buildings at one of the campuses in Indonesia and to analyze the relationship between the distance of groundwater well to the septic tank to the parameters of groundwater quality. A total of 34 groundwater samples were collected from different bore wells and analysed for water quality parameters such as pH, TDS, nitrate, manganese, and E. coli. pH and TDS was measured by pH meter and TDS meter; nitrate and manganese were determined using a spectrophotometer. The E. coli concentrations were determined by the Most Probable Number (MPN). The results of the analysis showed that the concentration range of TDS (11-194 mg/L), nitrate (0.35-12.45 mg/L), manganese (0.1-12.8 mg/L), E. coli (0-49 CFU/100ml), and pH value (4. 50-8.45). The results of the chi-square test showed that the distance between bore wells and septic tank did not have a significant relationship to the quality of groundwater with pH, TDS, nitrate, and manganese parameters with Asymp. Sig. > 0.05. However, the distance between bore wells and septic tank has a significant relationship to the parameter E. coli with the Asymp. Sig. 0.035 < 0.05.

“…With the biggest population in the world, India excels in the textile industry in manufacturing and marketing as it limelighted as a pioneer in this sector with the production of the largest processed sludge [4]. e wastewater generated from these sectors is treated in a distinctive way to remove color and recycling of water [5]. As excess sludge generation and effluent quantity from the industry are acceptable by the state pollution control board, there arises a novel technique in converting the waste as raw material, and they are planned to be added as supporting components for the construction industry [6].…”

The replacement of substances that favor the manufacturing of utility blocks ingredients is unpredictable in modern research. The experimental approach structured for the present investigation considered partial substitution of the cement mantle of a concrete matrix with dried fly ash sediment powder. As exploring innovation in being treated, dye wastewater is used in place of precious potable water for preparing mix ratio. The experimental outcomes were strongly supported by a regression representation at a macrolevel analysis and a scanning electron microscopy analysis at a microstructural level. The correlation coefficient of the developed mathematical models exhibited a dependable correlation of more than 90%. This shows the reliability of the developed regression equation for base strength predictions. Accordingly, the eventual safer and optimal limit of proportioning such a foreign matter like the dried fly ash sediment powder usage is controlled, not exceeding 9% by weight of cement mantle. However, due to the infused sediment particles within the treated effluents, the potable water is 100% replaced without sacrificing the basic quality. The administration of this dye effluent in artificially constructed wetland methods is designed for sustainable water conservation.
