INSTALLATION OF DRILL WELLS TO OBTAIN CLEAN WATER IN THE JARING HALUS VILLAGE SECANGGANG DISTRICT LANGKAT REGENCY

Abstract

Human daily activities can not be separated from clean water, ranging from bathing, washing, drinking and cooking. Groundwater is one of the sources of water used to obtain clean water. In coastal areas or river estuaries in developing countries, villagers generally have difficulty getting clean water. Jaring Halus Village is located in Secanggang district, Langkat regency, North Sumatra Province. The village is bordered by the ocean and mangrove forests, where transportation access is difficult and limited. This village has received clean water services from the PDAM government, but the water flowing into people's homes has been increasingly choked. Several drill wells have been provided by the government but can only be found at a distance of 100-200 m from the beach. This cause underlies the Community Service Program team choosing a location in The Village of Jaring Halus. This activity aims to obtain clean water. This activity aims to get the clean water needs of residents by making drill wells, providing water storage tanks and installing water faucet installations in designated locations. With this facility, all village communities can accommodate and utilise clean water for daily needs.
