Car washes have become increasingly popular in some areas, but this growth has also had a negative impact on environmental quality, as untreated wash water is often discharged directly into car wash drainage systems without any prior treatment. This discharge of unfiltered wastewater can lead to high levels of COD (chemical oxygen demand) and surfactants in nearby water sources if carried out intensively. Much of the wastewater is often classified as waste. It is discharged by car wash operators into the drainage system and eventually into smaller waterways. In 2014, the Minister of the Environment highlighted the importance of managing cleaning waste due to its harmful effects on the environment and health. Based on the Pekanbaru Municipality's Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2003 on the payment of liquid waste treatment control permit, which stipulates that every industry must carry out waste treatment before discharging into the environment and each industry must also  pay a fee, this study will allow the design of absorption wells, which will be used to treat liquid waste from car washes, so that the wastewater absorbed into the ground is no longer a contaminated liquid waste. By treating the waste by the method of infiltration pits, it is hoped that the environment and the health of the residents around the laundry will be well preserved.

The United Nations and the World Meteorological Organisation predict that around 5 billion people will lack clean water and even drinking water (Source: Conference on Our World in Concrete and Structure in Singapore). Based on the aforementioned phenomenon, given the abundant potential of seawater resources, there is an idea to use seawater as a concrete admixture, especially in building locations that often interact with seawater. Research is carried out in an effort to find alternatives to improve the mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive strength values, split tensile strength, namely by using additives as self-compacting concrete technology and making seawater and sea sand as a substitute for fresh water and river sand

Economic growth is a crucial pillar of regional development and serves as an indicator of how well development is going as well as a tool for future planning. Development will not proceed easily if the infrastructure is poor, and a nation or region's economic activity will not be sufficient if the infrastructure is insufficient. Throughout the years 2018 to 2024, Probolinggo Regency's economic growth rate development had erratic variations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to ascertain how Probolinggo Regency's road network, access to clean water, and availability of power affect economic growth. This study's methodology was quantitative and deductive in nature. The information used is secondary data, specifically time series data from the Central Bureau of Statistics. Using multiple linear regression analysis and the OLS (Ordinary Least Square) data analysis method, SPSS 24 was utilized to conduct the study's data analysis. Where the value is significant > 0.05, the study's findings show that infrastructure for roads, water, and power has no bearing on economic growth.

Access to adequate sanitation services and safe drinking water is a fundamental need that influences public health and sustainable development. This study analyzes the percentage of households in Gorontalo Utara Regency with access to adequate sanitation and safe drinking water from 2021 to 2023, linking it to WHO health standards. The results show an increase in access to adequate sanitation from 79.03% in 2021 to 81.80% in 2022, although there was a slight decline to 81.37% in 2023. Meanwhile, access to safe drinking water showed a more positive trend, rising from 86.23% in 2021 to 90.14% in 2023. This improvement reflects the success of government programs in enhancing basic infrastructure and raising community awareness. However, challenges remain in reaching approximately 10% of households still lacking access, particularly in remote areas. According to WHO, access to adequate sanitation and safe drinking water significantly reduces the risk of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid. This study highlights the importance of sustainable approaches to improving service coverage, such as developing inclusive infrastructure, educating communities on the importance of clean and healthy living behaviors, and strengthening the role of local institutions. In conclusion, although Gorontalo Utara has made significant progress, sustained efforts are needed to achieve universal access to sanitation and safe drinking water, as mandated by the SDGs.
