Revitalisasi Pengelolaan Air Bersih Berkelanjutan di Desa Gading Kembar, Malang

The communities of Gading and Dempokk Hamlets, Gading Kembar Village, Jabung District, Malang, use raw water from springs to meet their household needs. The raw water used is not properly managed, resulting in cloudy water during the rainy season due to the presence of colloids and soil particles. This community service project aims to educate people about the importance of managing raw water from springs to ensure water is suitable for household needs. This activity utilizes participatory action research methods, including the construction of filtration and sedimentation tanks to reduce cloudiness and improve the quality of the raw water. Education on raw water management using simple filtration and sedimentation technologies can produce water suitable for household needs. Communities can reduce their need for gallons of water during the rainy season. Social and environmental awareness of the importance of clean water sanitation and preserving forest biota as a source of water storage is growing. In conclusion, various regions possess natural resource potential that can be optimally utilized. However, it requires a driving force capable of mobilizing community potential to manage natural resources effectively and sustainably
