Abstract
The weather in Indonesia is very diversed, the pattern of rainfall is based on the distribution of the average monthly rainfall data. In October 2020 to February 2021, the increase in monthly rainfall due to La Nina occured in almost all parts of Indonesia. In April 2021, The Seroja tropical cyclone was the strongest tropical cyclone ever occurred in Indonesia. Flood disasters, landslide, and droughts are natural disasters that are closely related in Indonesia. These phenomenons lead up to Indonesia’s state of water crisis. The clean water crisis inIndonesia happened because of the lack of capability in water management, hence causing natural disasters such as floods and landslides when water is abundant in rainy season and on the other hand causing droughts during summer. Even though Indonesia has high intensity of rainfall and abundant water sources, the clean water challenge continues to occur due to many factors, including limited assistance and facilities for residentsin rural areas to access clean water, population density and water privatization. In conjuction with the condition of the COVID-19 pandemic which requires maintaining cleanliness in the house, people today tend to switch the water consumption pattern. A stable supply of drinking water plays an important role in ensuring the health of population, especially during epidemic disease outbreaks, where water-requiring behavior, such as washing hands is required to prevent the spread of the virus.
