“…Beside burning, disposing waste into the rivers/ lake/ seas also has impact on the ecosystem. The water will contaminated by bacteria and hazardous chemical that come from the decomposition of waste in the water [12]. Another factor of community did this because the lack of temporary waste disposal sites (TPS) that providing by Government.…”

Background: Waste handling is one of the health issues that founded in Buton Utara regency. The waste originating from households has not been managed properly. Many people who live in coastal areas still disposed their garbage into the sea. This is due to the lack of waste management facilities such as temporary landfill and waste transport. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the community’s household waste handling. Method: A quantitative descriptive was conducted in this study. Data collection was carried out by survey method using questionnaires and observation checklists. Total amounted samples were 3,640 households and the respondents were housewife. Result: Most of the respondents (30,05%), burned their waste. Some of them, gave the waste to the informal collectors for recycling and the rest (0.27%) was composted. Conclusion: Burning is one way of handling household waste that is carried out by most communities in Buton Utara Regency.

“…Since then, several authors and organizations have developed various methods of WQI determination to assess water quality for diverse uses (Chao et al, 2023;Uddin et al, 2023), which differ in the way their sub-indexes develop and the process by which these sub-indexes get aggregated to calculate the final index value (Ponsadailakshmi et al, 2018;Sutadian et al, 2017). So, worldwide, the water quality index is widely used to assess and monitor water quality by government agencies, researchers, and environmental organizations (Dutta et al, 2022;Varma et al, 2022). It is also used to assess water quality in the vicinity of pollution sources, such as mining activities, which generate a considerable volume of mining waste in nature (Zaghloul et al, 2023;Boum-Nkot et al, 2023;Effendi et al, 2015).…”

Water scarcity remains the main problem in Morocco, making water resource conservation paramount. The objective of this study is to shed light on how mining impacts the region of Beni Tajjit's groundwater resources, which are used for irrigation and watering, which includes the Bou Dhar mining district, known for its vast lead and zinc sulfide deposits. The oxidation of sulfide-rich mine tailings generates acid water loaded with sulfates, creating acid mine drainage (AMD), which hurts aquatic ecosystems and the environment through trace metals elements (TME). Hence the need to assess the possible contamination of aquifers by metallic pollutants. This work can help water managers make appropriate decisions for controlling the quality of the groundwater in the Beni Tajjit area. During this study, we adopted a method: the Water Quality Index (WQI), designed to indicate the overall level of water quality by aggregating various weighted measurements. Five samples representing water sources around the mine tailings were taken and analyzed. Their values of dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity and pH were measured on-site. The results allow us to classify the water into good and bad categories. They showed that the TME values were practically lower than the maximum permitted level according to WHO norms and Moroccan irrigation standards. The main reason for this may be due to the carbonate geological context of the site, which buffers acidity and thus forms a chemical barrier against the transfer of TME to the aquifer. The high chlorine levels appear due to geochemical background or anthropogenies contaminations. The sulfate values recorded are related to the leaching of sulfide minerals from mine tailings.
