Implementation of Biopore Technology as a Solution for Rainwater and Organic Waste Management in RT 49, Muara Rapak Urban Village

Penerapan Teknologi Biopori sebagai Solusi Pengelolaan Air Hujan dan Sampah Organik di RT 49, Kelurahan Muara Rapak

Abstract

The problem of limited water absorption areas and organic waste management is still one of the environmental problems in residential areas. This activity aims to implement biopore infiltration hole (LRB) technology as an effort to support the management of rainwater and organic waste in RT 49 Muara Rapak Village, as well as providing education to the community about the production and maintenance of biopores. The activity was carried out on July 25 and August 1, 2026 through the direct practice of making biopores on three points of the land using PVC pipes, water gutter pipes, and wire. Biopore is made with a depth of about 25–30 cm and installed vertically at a predetermined location. The results of the activity show that biopore can be applied with simple construction and serves as an additional media to help absorb rainwater and as a place to utilise organic waste. The application of biopori is also a means of education for the public in understanding the management of rainwater and organic waste in a simple way. The sustainability of the benefits of biopore requires regular maintenance and community involvement in order to support the management of a cleaner and healthier environment
