Abstract

Access to clean water in Indonesia remains relatively low, primarily due to a lack of available clean water facilities and infrastructure. This conflicts with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which emphasize the importance of providing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services as part of Goal 6. Dukuh Timbulsloko, located in the Sayung Sub-district, has been grappling with erosion and relentless tidal waves since 2017, resulting in a shortage of clean water and proper sanitation. This research aims to investigate whether residents in this affected area are able to fulfill their basic rights to clean water and proper sanitation. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, utilizing ethnographic studies to describe the daily activities and events within the community, thus providing a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the research area. The findings of this study reveal that the Timbulsloko community employs various methods to meet their clean water needs. While they primarily rely on PAMSIMAS (Provision of Clean Water and Environmental Sanitation Program) and artesian wells, they also engage in rainwater harvesting. However, these solutions are not sustainable in the long term due to ongoing erosion, land subsidence, and frequent tidal surges in the region.
