Abstract

Cikarawang Village, located in Dramaga District, Bogor, West Java, covers an area of 226.56 hectares and had a population of 8,227 in 2012. The majority of the residents work in agriculture, livestock farming, and small-scale industries. Despite the village's significant potential in the agrarian sector, the education level of its residents remains low, with only 61% having ever received formal education, and 52% of them only being elementary school graduates. One of the main problems facing the village is an increasingly severe groundwater crisis, especially during the dry season, where the 270 dug wells in the village often experience significant drops in water levels. This situation impacts the availability of clean water, which is crucial for daily needs and agriculture. The purpose of this Community Service (PkM) activity is to enhance the understanding and awareness of the community regarding the importance of infiltration wells as a solution to the groundwater crisis. It is hoped that infiltration wells can become an effective water storage system by utilizing rainwater that falls to the ground, so that it can help manage rainwater in a sustainable manner. The methodology used in this PkM activity includes direct counseling to village residents, question and answer sessions to explore understanding and obstacles faced by the community, as well as evaluation via questionnaires to measure changes in community understanding before and after the activity. The results of this activity show a significant increase in public understanding of the benefits of infiltration wells, from initially only 32.5% to 85.8% after implementing the program. These results indicate that the education carried out was successful in increasing public awareness and could be an effective first step in overcoming the groundwater crisis in Cikarawang Village.
