Kemiskinan dan akses air bersih

Hubungan antara akses air (kuantitas dan kualitas) berhubungan dengan kemiskinan. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari dua arah. Dari arah kemiskinan menuju kemampuan mengakses air bersih, atau dilihat dari rendahnya kemampuan untuk mengakses air bersih yang mengakibatkan kemiskinan.

Abstract

This paper explores the hidden potential of geophysics for the environment, focusing on Indonesia. Geophysics plays a crucial role in understanding the Earth’s physical characteristics and addressing environmental challenges. It is particularly relevant in water-related environmental problems, such as groundwater contamination and infiltration monitoring. Geophysics is also used to detect metals in fertile soils and plants, providing insights into agricultural practices and potential health risks. However, applying geophysics in urban areas poses challenges due to physical obstructions, cultural noise, limited workspace, permits, and safety concerns.

This article emphasizes the integration of geophysics with environmental studies, the need for further research on water-related environmental problems and metal detection, and the development of techniques tailored for urban environments. It suggests focusing on understanding the specific environmental challenges in Indonesia and leveraging advancements in technology for more accurate and efficient geophysical investigations.

In the Indonesian context, geophysics has diverse applications, including energy exploration, seismology, and oceanography. However, it has not been properly utilized in the field of environmental studies, particularly in urban areas.
