AFRO Water Treatment, Inovasi Olah Air Bersih Teknologi Ramah Lingkungan Karya Anak Bangsa
Summary
TLDRAccess to clean water is a vital need for all households. Although 91.05% of Indonesian households have access to clean drinking water, climate change and population growth pose challenges to future water availability. Efforts are being made to address this issue, including developing water recycling technologies. A lecturer from the Padang Institute of Technology has created a device that purifies dirty water into clean water, producing 900 liters per hour using solar energy and electricity. This invention has significantly helped communities in Sumatra Barat, particularly in disaster-affected areas. The device is expected to be further developed to reach more remote regions.

Outlines
π§ The Vital Need for Clean Water
Clean water is a critical necessity for human life, and every household should have adequate access to it. Despite the high proportion of households in Indonesia with access to clean water, climate change and population growth pose future risks to water availability. The average person requires between 169 and 247 liters of water daily for drinking, washing, and sanitation. However, recent data from BPS shows that some households still lack access to safe drinking water, with 91.05% of Indonesian households having access to clean drinking water. In response to the threat of water scarcity, communities are exploring various methods to curb water usage, including recycling technologies. The development of these efforts will be further discussed after the following segment.
π° Addressing the Ongoing Water Supply Challenges
The problem of clean water availability remains unresolved, with some citizens still lacking access to clean water. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), 91.05% of households had access to safe drinking water by 2022, leaving 8.95% still without it. Moved by this issue, a mechanical engineering lecturer at the Institute of Technology Padang, Afni, developed a tool to treat dirty water into clean water. The inspiration came after the 2009 earthquake in West Sumatra left residents struggling to find clean water. The device, named Avometer Treatment, can produce 900 liters of clean water per hour and operates on a hybrid system using solar energy and electricity from the national grid (PLN) to keep operational costs low.
π§ Technology to Aid Water-Scarce Communities
The lack of clean water following the 2009 earthquake highlighted the need for appropriate technology to help affected communities. Universities in West Sumatra struggled to assist the public with practical solutions. The Avometer Treatment tool has been tested to ensure it meets health standards, producing water that is colorless, odorless, and free of bacteria. This technology is particularly beneficial in areas like Pancung Soal District in South Coastal Regency, West Sumatra, where residents previously faced difficulties accessing clean water. The local government hopes that this technology will continue to be developed and expanded to cover more remote and underserved areas.
π Future Developments for Wider Access
In Pancung Soal District, the Avometer Treatment tool has significantly helped residents who previously struggled to obtain clean water. The local government is hopeful that, in the future, this technology can be further developed into a more compact form that can reach other disaster-affected communities. In Indrapura Nagari, where the distance to the local water utility (PDAM) is considerable, the government seeks to provide clean water to more remote areas. Currently, 27 families still rely on manual wells, which have yet to provide clean water. With further development, the Avometer Treatment tool could offer a viable solution for these communities.

air bersih merupakan kebutuhan vital
hidup manusia semua rumah tangga
semestinya memiliki akses yang memadai
terhadap air bersih dan air untuk minum
meski proporsi rumah tangga di Indonesia
terhadap akses air bersih tergolong
tinggi krisis iklim dan bertambahnya
penduduk bumi membuat ketersediaan air
di masa depan harus menjadi perhatian
rata-rata saudara kebutuhan air manusia
setiap orang mencapai 169 hingga 247
liter per hari yaitu untuk kebutuhan
minum mencuci dan sanitasi dan terakhir
dari BPS mencatat masih ada rumah tangga
yang belum mampu mendapatkan akses air
minum yang layak rata-rata
91,05% rumah tangga di Indonesia yang
bisa mendapatkan akses air layak minum
di tengah ancaman kelangkaan air bersih
terdapat berbagai upaya masyarakat untuk
menemukan cara menahan laju pemakaian
salah satunya dengan teknologi mendaur
ulang Bagaimana mengembangkan
upaya-upaya ini kita akan lihat setelah
tayangan berikut
masalah ketersediaan air bersih masih
belum terselesaikan sebagian warga masih
ada yang belum terlayani air bersih
Badan Pusat Statistik mencatat di Tahun
2022
91,05% rumah tangga yang sudah
mendapatkan sumber air minum layak
artinya masih
8,95% rumah tangga yang belum
mendapatkan sumber air minum layak
terpanggil untuk mengatasi masalah ini
seorang dosen teknik mesin insitu
teknologi Padang Afni mengembangkan alat
yang berfungsi mengolah air kotor
menjadi air bersih
peneliti bermula saat masyarakat
Sumatera Barat kesulitan air bersih
pasca gempa tahun 2009
alat yang dinamakan avometer treatment
ini mampu memproduksi air bersih 900
liter per jam
ini dirancang menggunakan sistem Hybrid
yaitu tenaga surya dan listrik dari PLN
agar biaya operasionalnya terjangkau
masyarakat
terkait dari kendala 2009 dulu kan kita
banyak perguruan tinggi di Sumatera
Barat kan tidak mampu apa tidak mampu
membantu masyarakat dengan sebuah
teknologi yang yang tepat guna akan
nanti Saat itu kan air yang kita
butuhkan arti dari pengujian yang ada
kan pengujian ada
kemudian tidak berbau tidak berwarna
tidak ada kandungan bakterinya itu yang
telah kami uji kan Nah ini artinya kita
tetap mengkaitkan dengan standar yang
dilakukan oleh menteri kesehatan
[Tepuk tangan]
di sejumlah wilayah di kecamatan Pancung
Soal Kabupaten pesisir selatan Sumatera
Barat
masyarakat kecamatan Pancung Soal yang
sebelumnya kesulitan mendapatkan air
bersih sangat terbantu dengan keberadaan
alat ini
mudah-mudahan kedepannya kami selaku
pemerintahan Nagari berhubung Nagari
Indrapura ini sangat luas yang jauh
jarak tempuhnya dengan PDAM maka untuk
itu ke depan Kami mohon kiranya kalau
dapat prrt nanti Masa kedepannya ini
adalah areal baru kemudian potensi
masyarakat kami membutuhkan air bersih
yang bagian di luar Pak Insya Allah itu
sudah dapat air bersih semua kemudian di
sini dicoba pakai sumur bor namun
keadaan semut yang manual sampai
sekarang belum terwujud Pak air yang
bersih ada 27 kepala keluarga yang
membutuhkan ini
ke depan alat ini akan dikembangkan lagi
agar bentuknya lebih kecil dan bisa
mudah menjangkau masyarakat di wilayah
terdampak bencana
