Kodingareng Lompo Island is a small island in the Makassar coastal region that faces persistent clean water shortages due to seawater intrusion, limited freshwater resources, and increasing water demand. One potential solution is the distribution of clean water from mainland Makassar through a subsea pipeline system. In such projects, route selection is a critical planning stage that significantly influences installation feasibility, operational reliability, and long-term project sustainability. This article examines the role of route selection in subsea pipeline planning using a literature-based perspective approach. The discussion focuses on the limitations of conventional shortest-path methods and highlights the importance of considering bathymetric conditions, maritime activities, environmental factors, and installation constraints. The study argues that corridor-based planning and multi-alternative route evaluation provide a more comprehensive framework for decision-making than distance-based optimization alone. Furthermore, route selection should be integrated with installation planning to minimize technical risks and improve system reliability. The findings emphasize that successful clean water distribution to Kodingareng Lompo Island depends not only on hydraulic design but also on the selection of a route that balances technical, operational, environmental, and economic considerations.
