East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) is one of the provinces in Indonesia that faces serious challenges in providing clean water. Geographical conditions which are dominated by dry land and uneven distribution of rainfall are the main factors causing the shortage of clean water. This has a negative impact on various aspects of people's lives, including health, sanitation and economic productivity. Therefore, an effective and sustainable solution is needed to overcome this problem. Constructing drilled wells is seen as an appropriate alternative because it can provide immediate and long-term access to clean water. Through the construction of drilled wells that are planned and based on community needs, it is hoped that the quality of life of the people in NTT can improve significantly. This article discusses the importance of building drilled wells as a strategic solution to overcome the clean water crisis in NTT, as well as offering implementation recommendations that can support the sustainability of this program.
