It is important to know how people in Jakarta satisfy the need of
clean water. They use ground water, the governmental water supply or
PAM ( Perusahaan Air Minum ) and public hydrants. The number of the
population in Jakarta is 8,5 million, but only 41% of them have accessed
to clean water from PAM, while the rest still depend on ground water.
The shallow ground water is used in hotels, offices, factories, and
areas of residences. There won’t be any problem if they do not use the
water more than the resource’s capacity.
Man is granted a large amount of colourless liquid called water.

as drinking, preparation of food and beverages, bathing, cleansing, and
watering the lawns and gardens and secondarily in industrial processes,
commercial products disposal of wastes in sewers, fire fighting, street
sprinkling, swimming pools, and public fountains. For most of the
purposes above the quality of water must be good.

and surface water. Ground water resources are near at hand and systems
are cheap to install, i. e by setting a pump or digging a well. The
surface water is obtained from large lake or river nearby, consequently

the amount of water in large reservoirs, from which long pipes are
needed to pump the water into the houses. Ground water is generally
clear, cold, cold, colourless, and cleaner than surface water in some
regions.
In order to have clean water supplies people should conserve the
water. It can be conserved in many ways, including measurement and

A woman and her two children could not stop sneezing as heaps of
kapok floated in the air around them. Even the afternoon downpour did
not dampen their working spirit. With the silky fibers or kapok flying
all around them and setting onto their bodies, they kept stuffing kapok
into a large cloth bag to make mattress.
Rasni 40 is one of the woman working in a mattress-making centre
in Wanakerta mattress in Bajanegara village of Purbalingga district.
Almost all of the women in Wanakerta, which has population of some 350
families or about 1,200 people, works as mattress-makers.
Since 1978 Wanakerta residents have been making mattresses in a
very traditional way. To make one mattress they need stuffing, mattress
cloth and thread. There are two kinds of stuffing with which they are
familiar : kapok and fibrous yarn called benglon which is made from
textile factory waste. The products have a good market not only in
Purbalingga but also in other urban centers like Surakarta, Tasikmalaya,
and Jakarta.
The mattress-making business in Wanakerta was pioneered by
Mahwari, 50, and the late Rasmadi. Before trying their hands at
mattress-making, they sold agricultural products in a number of areas in
Java. When they were in a textile mill in Bandung, West Java they saw
heaps of textile waste, the kapoklike polyester benglon fibers.
The process of making a mattress in a traditional way is simple.
“Before it is put into a cloth bag, the kapok or benglon must be first
put in the sunlight so that it will expand, “said Rasni.
Then it is put into a cloth bag of mattress size. The bag is sewn
up with mattress thread. “When the mattress is ready, it will be again
put in the sunlight so that it will expand further, “she added.
To make a single mattress, nine metres of mattress cloth, 20 kg
of kapok or 25 kg of benglon and two rolls of thread, are needed. One
mattress is sold at an average price of Rp. 90,000,-
