Abstract
Tallo is one of the sub-districts in Makassar that is experiencing water scarcity, leading the community to use the available water sources, such as dug wells and rainwater. This study aims to evaluate the behavior of people in Tallo who lack clean water access in terms of clean water treatment and storage after socialization, installation of Rainwater Harvesting (RWH), and subsidy of ceramic clay water filters. This was descriptive research with the number of samples was 98 beneficiaries selected by purposive sampling. The results revealed that the beneficiaries performed behavioral changes in water treatment and storage after the various interventions. It may encourage the government sectors to provide an appropriate water supply for Tallo and become a proper example that can be implemented in areas experiencing a clean water crisis.
