Abstract

This study delves into the intricate relationship between hygiene, sanitation, and the bacteriological quality of drinking water depots within the Balangan District. The research aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the factors influencing water quality within these depots, considering the impact of hygiene and sanitation practices on bacteriological contamination. Through a combination of field surveys, water sampling, and laboratory analysis, the study explores the potential links between the maintenance of proper hygiene and sanitation standards and the prevalence of harmful bacteria in the drinking water sources. The findings shed light on the challenges faced by the Balangan District in ensuring safe and clean drinking water for its residents. The outcomes of this study have significant implications for public health policy and interventions to improve water quality in similar contexts.
