Abstract

The community service program was conducted in response to the water quality conditions in Pudonggala Utama Village, Sawa District, North Konawe Regency, where the available water source was visually characterized by turbidity and yellowish to brownish coloration. These conditions indicated the need for appropriate water treatment prior to community use. The program aimed to implement a simple water filtration technology and enhance community knowledge of clean water management. The activities comprised a survey and identification of water conditions, construction of a filtration unit, community education and training, installation and testing of the filtration system, and evaluation of the filtration results. The filtration system employed charcoal, sand, coconut fiber, and gravel as filtration media. Evaluation was performed through visual observation of water clarity and measurement of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). The results showed a visible improvement in water clarity following filtration, accompanied by a decrease in TDS from 435 ppm to 349 ppm, representing a reduction of 19.77%. These findings demonstrate that the simple filtration technology was effective in improving the visual clarity of the tested water and reducing its TDS concentration. In addition, the community service program contributed to increasing community knowledge and awareness of simple water filtration and clean water management practices.
