Implementasi Teknologi Pemanen Air Hujan dan Drainase Vertikal untuk Konservasi Sumber Daya Air dan Pemenuhan Kebutuhan Air Rumah Tangga

Open land degradation due to increasing of settlement area effect to water shortage (i.e. water recharging reduction and run off enhancement). Rain harvesting and vertical drainage approach could be an alternative solution. Additionally, rainwater is a potential water source for dometic water. The social empowerement program aim to increase our partner knowledge and ability on water reseource protection. The program was conducted in Kaliori Village, Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province. Some program were applied such as collecting the data of partner profile, counselling, dissemination of technology, and evaluation. Techology dessimination was conducted in one of member located around Kaliori Landfill. The result showed knowledge improvement of partner about water resource conservation including rain harvesting and vertical drainage approach. However, lack of the equipment performance due to longer dry periode during program. It could affect the partner motivation on approach replication. Partner knowledge improvement on water resource and the techonology (i.e. rain harvesting and vertical dranage approach) was expected to better habit on water resource conservation.
