Pencegahan Banjir dan Penumpukan Sampah Melalui Penerapan Lubang Biopori di Desa Jayabakti, Sukabumi

Abstract

Jayabakti Village, Cidahu District, Sukabumi Regency often experiences waterlogging and even floods when the rain intensity is high. One of the reasons is the reduced water catchment area due to the accumulation of garbage. In general, the knowledge of the people of Jayabakti Village regarding waste management is still minimal. Therefore, this service activity was carried out to provide knowledge, skills, and awareness for the community regarding the application of biopore infiltration holes. The purpose of the program for making biopore holes include increasing water absorption into the soil to reduce flooding, improving the quality of the soil around where biopores are installed, and utilizing organic waste as compost. The water channel repair activities along with the making of biopore holes at several points of puddles have been carried out well and have achieved the expected goals, such as increasing the water absorption into the soil and soil quality to prevent flooding. However, in carrying out subsequent biopore activities, it is necessary to pay attention to the location of the appropriate placement of the holes so that the benefits can be more optimal. In addition, the role of the community is needed in increasing the production and maintenance of biopore so that its use can be sustainable.
