Healthy Water and Its Problem
Water is very precious to people. They use it in almost
activities they do. Primarily, they use water for domestic purposes
such as drinking, food preparation, bathing cleaning, and watering
plants. Secondarily, water is used for industrial processes,
commercial protect. Realizing how important water is for drinking
and food preparation. Clean water which is free from diseasecausing bacteria should always be available. Boiling water is the
traditional way to get healthy drinking water. Clean and healthy
water is also necessary for bathing and cleaning; fish and plants
need water which is free from pollution.
As the population of the world increases, people are now facing
a serious problem of water pollution, especially in big cities. The
growth of population does not cope with the development of housing
facility. Consequently, too many people live in one area, and
environmental cleanliness cannot be controlled very well. Peoples
activities are chemical substances that affect the natural condition
of water of its intended use. Organic wastes from homes and
industries contaminate the water. As the result, waterways like
rivers, lakes, and even oceans are subjected to pollution. This
polluted water is harmful to living things that consume it. Plants
cannot grow well and do not yield good quality fruit. Fish do not
grow and breed properly. This in turn, will affect the health of people
who consume them
Water pollution is really a problem for all people. They
however cannot overcome this individually. They need to cooperate
as responsible citizens. They should not throw away domestic
wastes everywhere. They must not dump harmful substances into
the rivers. Industries must realize the importance of recycling
rubbish. And above all, they should not let the chemical waste get
into the rivers or other public waterways.

It is important to know how people in Jakarta satisfy the need
of clean water. They use ground water, the governmental water
supply or PAM ( Perusahaan Air Minum ) and public hydrants. The
number of the population in Jakarta is 8,5 million, but only 41% of
them have accessed to clean water from PAM, while the rest still
depend on ground water. The shallow ground water is used in hotels,
offices, factories, and areas of residences. There wont be any
problem if they do not use the water more than the resources
capacity.
Man is granted a large amount of colourless liquid called
water. Life will not exist without water. There are a lot of domestic
purposes as drinking, preparation of food and beverages, bathing,
cleansing, and watering the lawns and gardens and secondarily in
industrial processes, commercial products disposal of wastes in
sewers, fire fighting, street sprinkling, swimming pools, and public
fountains. For most of the purposes above the quality of water must
be good.
There are a lot of sources of water supply such as
underground and surface water. Ground water resources are near at
hand and systems are cheap to install, i. e by setting a pump or
digging a well. The surface water is obtained from large lake or river
nearby, consequently it will be very expensive to get the water
because the supply depends on the amount of water in large
reservoirs, from which long pipes are needed to pump the water into
the houses. Ground water is generally clear, cold, cold, colourless,
and cleaner than surface water in some regions.
In order to have clean water supplies people should
conserve the water. It can be conserved in many ways, including
measurement and recording of all-purpose water consumption,
holding flood water in o0versize reservoirs, desalting seawater and
guard of ground water against the intrusion of seawater, and

reducing evaporations in reservoirs using large ground water

reservoir more extensively.

Text. 4
A woman and her two children could not stop sneezing as
heaps of kapok floated in the air around them. Even the afternoon
downpour did not dampen their working spirit. With the silky fibers

or kapok flying all around them and setting onto their bodies, they
kept stuffing kapok into a large cloth bag to make mattress.
Rasni 40 is one of the woman working in a mattress-making
centre in Wanakerta mattress in Bajanegara village of Purbalingga
district.
Almost all of the women in Wanakerta, which has
population of some 350 families or about 1,200 people, works as
mattress-makers.
Since 1978 Wanakerta residents have been making
mattresses in a very traditional way. To make one mattress they
need stuffing, mattress cloth and thread. There are two kinds of
stuffing with which they are familiar : kapok and fibrous yarn called
benglon which is made from textile factory waste. The products
have a good market not only in Purbalingga but also in other urban
centers like Surakarta, Tasikmalaya, and Jakarta.
The mattress-making business in Wanakerta was pioneered
by Mahwari, 50, and the late Rasmadi. Before trying their hands at
mattress-making, they sold agricultural products in a number of
areas in Java. When they were in a textile mill in Bandung, West Java
they saw heaps of textile waste, the kapoklike polyester benglon
fibers.
The process of making a mattress in a traditional way is
simple. Before it is put into a cloth bag, the kapok or benglon must
be first put in the sunlight so that it will expand, said Rasni.
Then it is put into a cloth bag of mattress size. The bag is
sewn up with mattress thread. When the mattress is ready, it will
be again put in the sunlight so that it will expand further, she
added.
To make a single mattress, nine metres of mattress cloth, 20
kg of kapok or 25 kg of benglon and two rolls of thread, are needed.
One mattress is sold at an average price of Rp. 90,000,The mattress-makers handle heaps of kapok and benglon
every do not wear protective masks, leaving them vulnerable to
health problem. The biggest risk they is when unpack the stuffing,
put it in the sunlight and fill the mattress bag.
