According to observations made in the hamlet of Gunung Kesan Timur, Paopale Laok Village, Ketapang,
Sampang, Madura, locals in general continue to use well water. People drink calcareous well water without first
filtering it. It can be seen in the well water container that the water includes lime, which results in a white crust.

utilizing observational and questionnaire sampling approaches. Result : The creatinine results from 30 samples
revealed that 25 (83%) samples had normal creatinine levels and 5 (17%) samples had abnormal creatinine levels,
while the BUN results for 30 samples were declared to be 100 percent normal, and the calcium results revealed
