The U.S

Chemical contamination of groundwater has become increasingly prevalent in the U.S. Once thought to be safe from pollution, the underground aquifers that supply drinking water to about half of the U.S. population are now known to be vulnerable to contamination from leaking landfills, waste lagoons, underground storage tanks, improper use of agricultural chemicals, and various industrial operations. Manufactured chemical compounds, including industrial degreasers and solvents, as well as gasoline, pesticides and fertilizers (in all, over 700 synthetic organic chemicals) have seeped down through the soil to the aquifers and been detected in ground water. Nearly every state has identified cases of contamination serious enough to require closing of some public or private supply wells.

Water Condensation

The program to meet the needs of Raw Water for the domestic needs of the community, especially drinking water and other household needs, is very intensively carried out by the provincial government of East Nusa Tenggara. The difficulty faced is that efforts to equalize the fulfillment of the need for clean water in the archipelago require quite expensive costs and technology. Palue Island in Sikka Regency is one of the islands of hundreds of regions experiencing a clean water crisis. Fulfillment of consumption water needs only comes from the results of the Steam Water Condensation using plaster and PAH methods. This research was conducted to determine the feasibility and contribution of the fulfillment of residents' raw water by the anointing method that has been carried out by the Palue Island people for generations.
