ABSTRACT
The availability of clean water is very important to support the clean water demand of the residents. Spring water is one of the water sources that can be used to fulfil the clean water demand of the residents. This research aims to determine the distribution of springs and analyse the fulfilment of clean water demand of the population around the springs. This research was conducted in Boyolali sub-district with a population consisting of the number of springs and the number of residents. Spring samples were taken from springs that have been used by residents to fulfil their clean water demand. Residents samples were taken on the condition that residents reside in the vicinity of the spring and have used the water, sampling residents with purposive sampling. The methods used were observation and interviews. Springs in Boyolali sub-district have water flow throughout the year, springs are able to meet the clean water demand of the surrounding residents. The average clean water demand of each resident around the spring is 62 litres/day. The fulfilment of the clean water demand of the residents from the spring is done by two ways of obtaining water, using the force of gravity and using a water pump.
