This project aims to explore and analyze local management readiness in the poor city in keeping the water supply sustainable ready to drink. The drinking water is essential to public health, and the survival of the safe and affordable water supply is a huge challenge in many cities, including the poor. With the rising demand for water ready to drink as population and urbanization grows, it takes policy and management systems that are effective to ensure the continuation of quality water supply for society.

The background of this project focuses on the importance of local government readiness in managing and regulating the drinking water supply, both from water resources management, distribution, and quality of service. The challenges faced include a limited water resource management, climate change that affects water availability, and the lack of water distribution in different areas of the city. Therefore, the local government needs to have an adaptive policy and strategy to ensure the continued water supply is ready to drink.

The whole point of this project is to evaluate local management readiness in the City of Misery in the face of the continued drinking water supply challenge. This project also aims to identify the policies that have been applied, judge its effectiveness, and provide a recommendation for improvement in water resources management and drinking water distribution.

The expected impact of this project was the creation of a more efficient and sustainable water management system in the city of Malang, with increased service quality and distribution of water ready to drink. With better management readiness, people can hopefully enjoy better access to safe and quality drinking water, as well as supporting the protection efforts of water resources for the future.
