Bukittinggi is a city in West Sumatra that become potential area for flooding. It is followed by increasing of diarrhea diseases. This also affects water quality. Bukittinggi is having problems with the provision of adequate clean water in accordance with the target of Sustainable Development Goals. This study aims to determine the relationship of floods to the incidence of diarrhea, water quality and community resilience in providing clean water for everyday life. The method used through a quantitative approach with cross-sectional design and conducted in December 2017 until January 2018. The results show the relationship between floods with diarrhea occurrence, water difficulty, water quality (smelly water, dirty water and the presence of insects and worms), as well as community resilience to help each other in water supply and water source storage to avoid contamination. It is advisable for the government to increase its social capacity in the provision of clean water because the city of Bukittinggi is vulnerable to floods that would damage water sources.

Development of Chitosan/Starch-Based Forward Osmosis Water Filtration Bags for Emergency Water Supply

“…As a result, the contribution of the FO process carried out by the drinking water bag in eliminating the E. coli was insignificant. Nonetheless, the process could be very helpful to sterilize the water from microbial content during an emergency, where the level of contamination was expected to be high [ 43 ].…”

Perlunya pendidikan kesehatan khususnya tentang penyediaan air bersih untuk mencegah diare dengan persiapan masyarakat siap dalam menghadapi bencana.…”

Risk Assessment of Groundwater Quality: A Case Study in Flood-Prone Neighbourhood Area of Pondidaha, Southeast Sulawesi

“…Furthermore, research conducted in Western Uganda bordering a flooded river showed that extreme flooding increased malaria incidence by approximately 30% compared to villages far from the river [11]. Additionally, other researchers also proved that flooding could also endanger human health through infection in wounds [12], diarrhea [13]- [15], and post-traumatic stress disorder among refugees [16].…”
