“…Therefore, this situation encourages people to depend on unprotected wells, raw Water from River and streams, and getting more difficult to access water as drinking water truck is the popular water distribution system. The investigation concluded that two among three people in the country do not have access to safe and potable water supply services [18]. This paper investigates the drinking water budget per capita in developed and other African countries.…”

South Sudan is currently fronting significant difficulties to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals 6 (SDGs) framed in 2015, concentrating on water as a path to sustainable development. The country capital city Juba is one of the drinking water insecure towns in the world due to a long civil war that destroyed basic infrastructures, encourage urbanization and rural urban immigration. This paper aimed to investigate drinking water quota per capita per day in other countries, suggest a drinking water budget per capita per day to Juba, estimate optimum capacity for drinking water treatment plant to the city, and recommend a suitable drinking water distribution system. Literature review methods under meta-analysis were conducted to assess the drinking water budget per capita per day for cities in the world and to investigate advantages and disadvantages of some drinking water distribution systems. Mathematical models were used to estimate the capacity of the drinking water treatment plant required in the city. The study concluded that amount of water needed for the city is 36 x 103 m3. It should be 35 x 103 m3 for the western side and 12 x 102 m3 for the eastern side of the city. It also found that a looped drinking water distribution system is the best option for the city. The study suggested construction of a new drinking water treatment plant to secure drinking water security and improve the drinking water distribution network.

“…Facies Na-Cl mostly in residential areas (Figure 3 and 6). Residential areas that are closely related to anthropogenic activity contribute to increased Cland Na+ concentrations (Kut et al, 2018). The increase in the value of these ions can also come from silicate weathering (Edet, Anieken;Worden, 2009;Zhang et al, 2015).…”

Way Huwi Village is located in South Lampung, near the Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA). The purposes of this research is to know the unconfined groundwater flow pattern and groundwater facies changes. We measured the depth of water table at nine dig wells, analyzed piper diagram for groundwater facies identification. Then, we integrated groundwater flow patterns and groundwater facies from each well to analyze groundwater facies change pattern in research area. The result indicated that the unconfined groundwater flows from SW to NE of research area, following higher (SW) to lower elevation (NE). There are six patterns of unconfined groundwater facies changes: from Facies Na-Cl to Facies Na-HCO3-Cl, Facies Na-HCO3-Cl to Facies Ca-Mg-HCO3, Facies Na-HCO3-Cl to Facies Na-Cl, Facies Na-HCO3-Cl to Facies Na-SO4-Cl, Facies Ca-Mg-HCO3 to Facies Na-SO4-Cl, and Facies Ca-Mg-HCO3 to Facies Na-HCO3-Cl. ABSTRAK - Pola aliran airtanah tidak tertekan dan perubahan fasiesnya di Desa Way Huwi, Lampung Selatan. Desa Way Huwi terletak di Lampung Selatan, di dekat Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perubahan pola aliran airtanah dan fasies airtanah yang terjadi. Kami mengukur kedalaman muka airtanah pada sembilan sumur gali, menganalisis Diagram Piper untuk mengetahui fasies airtanah. Kemudian kami mengintegrasikan pola aliran airtanah dan fasies airtanah setiap sumur untuk mengetahui pola perubahan fasies air tanah. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa airtanah tidak tertekan mengalir dari Barat Daya ke Timur Laut mengikuti ketinggian yang lebih tinggi (SW) ke ketinggian yang lebih rendah (NE). Ada enam pola perubahan fasies airtanah tidak tertekan: dari Facies Na-Cl ke Facies Na-HCO3-Cl, Facies Na-HCO3-Cl ke Facies Ca-Mg-HCO3, Facies Na-HCO3-Cl ke Facies Na-Cl, Facies Na -HCO3-Cl ke Facies Na-SO4-Cl, Facies Ca-Mg-HCO3 ke Facies Na-SO4-Cl, dan Facies Ca-Mg-HCO3 ke Facies Na-HCO3-Cl

The issue addressed in this exposition is the classification of multivariate data collected through different sensors for water quality monitoring. Multivariate data are sequences that have various attributes in every instance of the sequences. A few endeavours exist to address this issue; however, none of them has given full emphasis on continuous dataset. Another solution for this issue is to reduce the instances to a single attribute while losing significant information. Different arrangements address both the multivariate and the sequential part of the data yet give an un-versatile solution. The proposed algorithm is not only able to monitor continuous water quality, but it also produces a better classification model for other continuous datasets as well. Instead of decreasing the attributes of the dataset, we introduce three additional reference indicators which are dependent on the actual attributes. We compare the classification accuracy of our proposed algorithm with standard classification models. The proposed method gives better classification accuracy compared to existing methods.
