Biopore Innovation as a Solution for Waterlogging in Waelawi Village, West Malangke District, North Luwu Regency. Biopores: A Smart Solution to Overcome Waterlogging with Natural Absorption Section Articles

Abstract

Flooding is a natural disaster that frequently occurs in Waelawi Village. Biopori Infiltration Holes offer a
practical solution to this problem. This community service activity aimed to socialize the concept of biopori
infiltration holes and their application within the community. In addition to increasing the soil's water
absorption capacity, the application of biopori infiltration holes can also enhance soil fertility. The methods
used included delivering informational material and conducting a direct demonstration of how to apply the
biopori infiltration holes. The activity results showed a high level of enthusiasm from the community.
Participants of the socialization expressed their willingness to try and independently implement this biopori
innovation. Through this program, a total of 4 biopori pipes were successfully installed in Waelawi Village,
each with specifications of approximately ±70 cm in length and 3 inches in diameter per unit. Thus, this activity
contributed to raising community awareness in managing water stagnation as a step to minimize the risk of
flood disasters.
