“…Population growth has implications for increasing the need for residential land so that in coastal cities, urban expansion happens through coastal reclamation [3,4]. Most of this land transformed into inadequate settlements and slums with a lack of access to basic infrastructure needs, such as clean water access that can decrease people's health [5,6], suppress the coastal ecosystem's environment [7][8][9], and hinder the achievement of sustainable development [10,11].…”

Urbanization in coastal areas is driving urban expansion towards coastal water. Many of these areas need more adequate settlements with limited access to basic needs, one of which can be found in Bumi Waras District, Bandar Lampung. As one of the basic needs, providing clean water access must be done to ensure a better quality of life for the community. So, the research aims to identify the accessibility of clean water for coastal waterfront settlement communities in Bumi Waras District. Data was collected through a primary survey: observation, interviews, and questionnaires to 97 people and analyzed using descriptive analysis to describe the condition of access to clean water in the study area. Based on the analysis, no problems were related to clean water supply. Even though they live in an inadequate and challenging location, the community has good access to clean water. The role of local government and informal actors in Bumi Waras District is significant in meeting clean water needs.

This study assessed the physicochemical and microbiological quality of sachet drinking water samples in Kumasi, a major city in Ghana. Samples were collected from various sources within the city. Physicochemical properties, including pH, total dissolved solids, and concentrations of calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium ions, were analyzed following established protocols. Additionally, fluoride concentration was determined. The assessment criteria for water quality were based on the World Health Organization’s and the Ghana Standards Authority’s recommended standards for drinking water. The samples were also subjected to microbial analysis to detect the presence of E. coli and coliforms, and to evaluate microbial quality. The findings indicated that most physicochemical properties of the samples met the World Health Organization’s standards for safe drinking water, except for the slightly acidic pH. Total dissolved solids and the concentrations of calcium, sodium, potassium, fluoride and magnesium ions were within acceptable ranges. Strong positive correlations were observed among various physicochemical parameters of sachet water. However, microbial analysis revealed that 67% of the samples were contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms, including E. coli and coliforms, indicating poor microbiological quality. While sachet water samples generally meet physicochemical safety standards, addressing microbial quality is essential to ensure the safety of drinking water in Kumasi.
