In demographic studies, population growth refers to changes in the number of inhabitants over a given period, measured by calculating numerical differences in population size and expressing them within specific time units to illustrate patterns of increase or decline. Based on data from Tembalang District in Figures 2025, the population growth rate in Kedungmundu Village rose by 0.51% between 2016 and 2025, with most residents relying on clean water services provided by PDAM Tirta Moedal as their primary source of drinking water. This study aims to estimate clean water demand based on projected population growth and to design a pipeline network system capable of meeting future needs. The analysis of water demand applies population projection methods, including arithmetic, geometric, and least square approaches, to compare their levels of accuracy, while the clean water distribution network is modeled using EPANET 2.0. One of the main challenges faced by PDAM is that service coverage has not yet been fully optimized. The ten-year projection results indicate that the arithmetic method provides a correlation value closest to 1, estimating a future population of 14,904 people with a total clean water requirement of 3.48 liters per second. To support this projected demand, the proposed network design utilizes High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes with diameters of 12, 10, and 8 inches to ensure efficient and sustainable water distribution.

The Indonesia Pintar Program (PIP) serves as a strategic state instrument to ensure equitable access to education for children from low-income families, in accordance with the constitutional mandate. However, the prevalence of fund embezzlement poses a severe threat to the fulfillment of these educational rights. This study aims to analyze the structural and institutional dynamics triggering fund misappropriation, evaluate the effectiveness of current oversight mechanisms, and formulate strategies to mitigate such violations. This research employs a normative legal method with a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing statutory and socio-legal analysis to examine regulations such as Law No. 20 of 2003 and relevant ministerial decrees. The findings reveal that embezzlement is driven by complex structural factors, including data asymmetry between Dapodik and DTKS, weak internal supervision, and a lack of transparency in fund distribution. Furthermore, legal enforcement remains suboptimal, often limited to administrative sanctions due to difficulties in proving mens rea and poor coordination among law enforcement agencies. The study concludes that current oversight mechanisms are insufficient to curb corruption in the education sector. Therefore, comprehensive reform is urgently needed, focusing on the integration of digital data systems, the implementation of e-audits, and the enhancement of civil society participation to ensure accountability. These measures are essential to protect the constitutional rights of children and ensure that education funds reach their intended beneficiaries without leakage.
