Abstract

Melayu Tengah Village is one of the villages supported by the Banjarmasin Ministry of Health Polytechnic, located in the East Martapura District, Banjar Regency. Based on survey results in Melayu Tengah Village, data was obtained that the source of bathing-washing-toilet (MCK) water and other community needs came from PDAM water 10%, drilled well water 21%, dug well water 6% and the largest came from river water 63 %. These data show that the level of community dependence on river water is quite high. Most of the people of Melayu Tengah Village live on the banks of the Martapura River. The general aim of this community service activity is to empower the community to realize independence, improve health status and optimize the potential of existing resources in terms of processing river water to provide clean water for the community.The Community Service Scheme implemented is the Partner Village Development Program (PPDM), where the types of community service activities implemented are: application of modified river water treatment to the Horizontal Roughing Filter (HRF) model which is named SARI-KASI (Synthetic Fabric Filter); training for cadres and technical guidance for village officials; establishment of a water processing group; sampling and checking water quality.The results that have been achieved in this community service activity are a tool resulting from research on modified river water processing using the Horizontal Roughing Filter model, named SARI-KASI, which has been applied in 10 units in Melayu Tengah Village; technical assistance and guidance has been provided to village officials in planning the development of clean water facilities in Melayu Tengah Village; a water processing group has been formed in Melayu Tengah Village. It is necessary to carry out routine equipment maintenance and the village government needs to explore collaboration with private parties who have CSR programs in the field of clean water.
