Drinking water projects in rural Alaskan communities face a myriad of issues, often due to environmental challenges and financial constraints. These issues threaten community members’ access to clean drinking water. Here, we report the built, natural, and social system factors that contribute to the failures and successes of water projects based on 20 semistructured interviews with engineers, program managers, service providers, and researchers whose work involves some element of water infrastructure in rural Alaska. Using a hybrid deductive and inductive approach to qualitative coding analysis, we aimed to uncover common themes in the perspectives of the individuals who maintain and operate drinking water projects to advance understanding of rural water access. Interviewee responses indicate the importance of the interactions between built system factors (e.g., operations and maintenance), social factors (e.g., community engagement), and natural system factors (e.g., water quality) in determining the success of drinking water projects. Generally, the respondents agreed that design efforts that are rooted in the built and social systems (e.g., sociomaterial approaches) and that consider rural Alaskan communities’ climate, geography, and cultures allow for the effective implementation of sustainable drinking water projects.

To increase service coverage and meet the increasing demand for drinking water, PDAM Tirta Kahuripan plans to build a Ciawi WTP in Megamendung District with a processing capacity of 165 L/second using the Sukabirus River as a raw water source. The purpose of this study was to determine the processing units in the design of the Ciawi WTP using multi-criteria analysis. Based on the results of the analysis of raw water quality, there were several parameters that do not meet the drinking water quality standards according to the Minister of Health Regulation No. 492 of 2010 and PPRI No. 82 of 2001, namely turbidity, Fecal coliform, total coliform, TSS, BOD, COD, and DO. There were three alternative processing circuits used. Alternative I consists of intake, hydraulic coagulation, up-down flow hydraulic flocculation, plate settler sedimentation, rapid sand filtration, disinfection, and reservoir. Alternative II consists of intake, hydraulic coagulation, vertical-shaft paddle wheel mechanical flocculation, tube settler sedimentation, rapid sand filtration, disinfection, and reservoir. Alternative III consists of intake, in-line static mixers coagulation, horizontal-shaft paddle wheel mechanical flocculation, plate settler sedimentation, rapid sand filtration, disinfection, and reservoir. There are other factors that must be considered in the selection of treatment units, namely contaminant removal, reliability, flexibility, construction, land requirements, ease of operation, maintenance, cost, and environmental compatibility. Based on multi-criteria analysis, the percentage of suitability for alternative I is 78%, Alternative II is 63%, and Alternative III is 48%. From this assessment, it can be said that alternative I is the best alternative.

“…The scarcity of safe drinking water negatively impacts the social capital of people, especially school-going children, living in rural areas of Kenya. Social capital, referring to features of social organization that facilitate cooperation and coordination for mutual benefit [ 19 , 20 ], is a pivotal component of community-based interventions and has been associated with better social well-being and community resilience. Our research team previously demonstrated the benefits of enhancing safe water in supporting nutritional interventions [ 21 ].…”

Background: Comprehensive strategies in water, sanitation, and appropriate hygiene behaviors can improve school enrolment and improve gender parity disparities. Lack of safe drinking water negatively impacts the social capital of people, especially school-going children in rural areas. In this study, we systematically evaluated and documented evidence on the barriers and facilitators in the access and adoption of safe water practices in rural schools in Laikipia County, Kenya. Methods: An ethnographic formative, collaborative implementation research design was used in an iterative and participatory process to evaluate community, socio-economic, and health system-related factors affecting water, hygiene, and sanitation strategies. Qualitative data was collected using key informant interviews (n=5) and focus groups (n=3) from various multisectoral participants. Directed content analysis was used to develop codes, categories, and themes from textual data. Data was organized according to the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services framework. Results: The findings were classified and described under three key elements: context, evidence, and facilitation. Contextual elements showed an association of diarrhea outbreaks with unsafe hygiene practices compounded by water scarcity. The evidence elements were indicative of the applicability of water backpacks in strengthening handwashing, storage, and transport of water. Facilitation elements indicated evidence of gaps in synergy between the school health and public health systems, necessitating multisectoral collaboration and social capital capacity building. Conclusion: The national and county governments play an imperative role in ensuring access and continuous supply of safe drinking water in schools. This is fundamental in efforts towards reducing social inequalities of health among school-going children and building their social capital. Participatory, collaborative, multisectoral interventions and decision-making are crucial, leveraging on creating local ownership, in meeting the water consumption needs of children and communities in water-scarce regions.
