Water’s essential function as drinking water is a significant daily intake. Contamination by microorganisms (bacteria or viruses) on water sources and drinking water supplies is a common cause in developing countries like Indonesia. This paper will discuss the sources of clean water and drinking water and their problems in developing countries; water quality and its relation to public health problems in these countries; and what efforts that can be make to improve water quality. The method used is a literature review from the latest journals. Water quality is influenced by natural processes and human activities around the water source Among developed countries, public health problems caused by low water quality, such as diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, typhus, skin itching, kidney disease, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and other diseases the nervous system. Good water quality has a role to play in decreasing the number of disease sufferers or health issues due to drinking and the mortality rate. The efforts made to improve water quality and public health are by improving WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) facilities and infrastructure and also WASH education.

Evaluation of water quality is a priority work nowadays. In order to monitor and map, the water quality for a wide range on different scales (spatial, temporal), the geospatial technique has the potential to minimize the field and laboratory work. The review has emphasized the advance of remote sensing for the effectiveness of spectral analysis, bio-optical estimation, empirical method, and application of machine learning for water quality assessment. The water quality parameters (turbidity, suspended particles, chlorophyll, etc.) and their retrieval techniques are described in a scientific manner. Available satellite, bands, resolution, and spectrum ranges for specific parameters are critically described in this review with challenges in remote sensing for water quality analysis, considering non-optical active parameters. The application of statistical programmes like linear (multiple regression analysis) and non-linear approaches is discussed for better assessment of water quality. Emphasis is given on comparison between different models to increase the accuracy level of remote sensing of water quality assessment. A direction is suggested for future development in the field of estimation of water pollution assessment through geospatial techniques.
