Abstract

Telaga Sari Village in Kurik District, Merauke Regency, has been a destination for the national transmigration program since the 1980s and is now home to over 400 families. A perennial problem since its establishment as a transmigration area has been access to clean water for bathing and washing. Groundwater contains in this area pungent sulfur and in some locations tastes salty due to the topography being only about 1 meter above sea level. The river flows far from settlements, forcing residents to rely on rainwater for their daily needs. Unfortunately, the reservoirs commonly used to collect rainwater are simply excavated soil, resulting in cloudy and dirty water. Therefore, the community service team aims to provide training in filtration using the slow sand method, which is easily duplicated and ergonomic. The community is also involved in the creation of prototypes to maximize the transfer of knowledge, with the hope that the technology can be replicated by each household in Telaga Sari Village.
