There are several factors related to the incidence of diarrhea, which are an inadequate supply of clean water, water contaminated by feces, lack of sanitary facilities, unhygienic disposal of feces, personal hygiene and poor environment, and improper food preparation and storage. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sources and physical conditions of clean water with the incidence of diarrhea in Puskesmas X, Pinrang Regency. This research was an analytic observational study with a Cross-Sectional Study approach. The sample were 133 households carried out by a simple random sampling technique.
