Implementation of Biopore Infiltration Holes and Low-Smoke Burning Drum to Achieve Proklim in Muara Kembang Village

Implementasi Lubang Resapan Biopori Dan Tong Bakar Sampah Minim Asap Dalam Mewujudkan Proklim Di Kelurahan Muara Kembang

Abstract

Waste management and water resource conservation are major environmental challenges that must be addressed in innovative and sustainable ways. This program implements two simple technologies, namely the creation of biopore infiltration holes and low-smoke waste-burning drums in Muara Kembang Village, Muara Jawa District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Biopore infiltration holes function to increase rainwater absorption into the soil while processing organic waste into compost, whereas the low-smoke burning drum is designed to reduce air pollution caused by open waste burning. The implementation method involves counseling, demonstrations, interactive discussions, and active community participation so that these technologies can be applied effectively and sustainably. The results of the program show an increase in community awareness of environmentally friendly waste management and climate change, as well as the use of biopore technology that helps reduce waterlogging and produce organic fertilizer. The low-smoke burning drum successfully reduced the level of smoke produced during waste burning. This program supports local-level climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts and provides tangible benefits for the environment and the local community. The success of this program highlights the importance of combining education, simple technology, and community empowerment in addressing environmental issues.
