The research area is located in East Nusa Tenggara Province which is a dry tropical climate in Indonesia. This area has limited rainfall, which has an impact on the sustainability of clean water availability.

The results of this study indicate that educational factors play an important role in the amount of clean water use. The higher the education, the greater the amount of clean water usage. Test trends with the linear trendline get the value of R = 0.9704. The average usage of clean water is 52 Lpcd (SD = 30.9). The research found facts about the correlation between the level of education and the willingness to pay for clean water services. In Location 1 there was a very strong correlation (R = 0.8516), while in Location 2 there was a very weak correlation (R = 0.0667).
