“…Then to improve human health through access to clean water in the community is necessary to monitor the quality of water from the artisanal filters. 5 An artisanal or handmade water filter is a water filtration system. Its construction uses a few essential items such as activated carbon, Tenzontle stone, marvel gravel, natural coarse silica sand, and fine-grained silica sand.…”

Wastewater quality monitoring is essential as an effective pandemic management tool. Domestic water is one of the leading causes of wastewater pollution. Domestic water originates from urban centers and contains substances from human activity consisting of organic matter such as food remains, feces, oils, detergents, and soaps. Different ways of sensing are used to maintain the water quality, like pH, conductivity, and turbidity sensors. Alternative methods are optical sensors because these offer great potential for wastewater monitoring, allowing massive, easy and low-cost acquisitions of a wide range of measures in real-time, at any flow conditions, and with high spatial resolution. Plasmonic sensors are optical sensors used for detection, which could realize rapid recognition, real-time analysis, and sensitive and selecting sensing. These devices exploit the interaction of light with matter using the SPR as a method based on the optoelectronic phenomenon. When light hits a metal surface (typically a gold surface) at a certain angle, part of the light energy pairs through the metal coating with the electrons in the metal surface layer, which then move due to excitation, called surface plasmon resonance. We use the Kretschmann configuration and the matrix transfer method to analyze the performance numerically to achieve the optime parameters of design for the sensor’s performance. In this work, we design and build a plasmonic sensor for house wastewater monitoring by tracking contaminants along a continuous flow of artisanal water.

In this article, we address the water challenges faced by Indigenous communities (ICs) in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6). The importance of ICs for sustainable regional development is increasingly recognised both at, a policy level and in practice. However, there is a reported lack of empirical evidence that gives voice to how such communities perceive development, particularly sustainable water development as articulated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2015–2030). This article provides case-based evidence from one Indigenous community setting, which challenges assumptions concerning water-related development. Using a qualitative methodology, this case study explores the problem of access to safe water faced by ICs and applies a value cocreation framework based on service-dominant logic. The findings highlight the need to develop sustainable water service models focused on the provision of water not just as a commodity or resource but also as a service. Initiatives aimed at addressing water-related challenges will be more likely to succeed when the culture, experiences, knowledge and practices of the communities in need of clean water access are valued and meaningfully incorporated into value cocreation processes.

Urban–Rural Water supply integration is one of the effective ways to address rural drinking water safety issues. With the rapid economic development and urbanization, the gap between urban and rural water supply has become increasingly evident, and rural areas face severe challenges such as insufficient water sources and substandard water quality. Yunnan Province, due to its unique topography and natural environment, encounters numerous difficulties in promoting the construction and development of urban–rural water supply integration, and there is a severe lack of research specifically focused on sustainable development measures for urban–rural water supply integration in Yunnan Province. In light of this, this paper first reviews the current research status on urban–rural water supply integration both domestically and internationally, pointing out that existing studies mainly focus on optimizing urban water supply systems, addressing rural drinking water safety issues, and exploring water supply management models. It then analyzes the challenges faced by Yunnan Province in advancing urban–rural water supply integration, including limitations in engineering construction, inadequate operation and maintenance, complex and variable water source conditions, and insufficient public awareness of water conservation. In response to these issues, a series of sustainable development measures are proposed, including revitalizing existing assets, enhancing construction planning and quality, promoting water pricing reforms, upgrading the technical system for drinking water safety assurance, and advancing the information technology construction of urban–rural water supply integration, with the aim of providing references and insights for the sustainable development of urban–rural water supply integration in Yunnan Province and other regions.
