UNY not only builds Rainwater Infiltration Wells but also conducts water measurement and management of 25 units of Rainwater Infiltration Wells in five areas around the campus. The off-campus infiltration ponds include Karangmalang, Kuningan, Mrican, Samirono, and Santren.

 

"The construction and management of infiltration ponds equipped with rainwater traps has started since 2019. This facility is an effort to maintain the balance of groundwater availability and a preventive measure in the face of extreme climate change," said Dr. Tien Aminatun, S.Si., M.Si., Head of UNY Disaster Mitigation and Climate Change Center.

 

The Rainwater Infiltration Wells built by UNY have supported efforts to collect rainwater in settlements around UNY. This facility is one of the methods to harvest rainwater so that rainwater does not become puddles and enters the ground as a groundwater reserve. To ensure optimal functionality, UNY has routinely performed periodic and ongoing maintenance every semester. The team usually cleans and removes trash sedimentation, soil sedimentation, and other particles trapped inside the control basin. (Yarso Nurbowo, Tj.lak)
