The Biopori Infiltration Hole (LRB) creation activity was carried out by Civil Engineering Department students. The activity took place on Wednesday, April 2, 2019, for the creation of 25 holes around the USU Civil Engineering Department courtyard. This activity was also guided by lecturers teaching Environmental Engineering courses.

Biopori infiltration holes function to absorb water into the ground, thus minimizing standing water. Biopori holes do not require a large area, and their creation process is very easy, which certainly makes them a suitable solution for areas with limited open land. These biopori infiltration holes are also filled with organic waste to manage scattered leaf litter on campus grounds and can become compost for the soil and plants.

In this activity, students hope to address several issues, namely:

 

  1. Increasing water absorption capacity

  2. Preventing floods or water puddles in campus courtyards

  3. Improving groundwater quality

  4. Disposal site for organic waste

  5. Converting organic waste into compost

  6. Utilizing the role of soil fauna activity and plant roots

  7. Overcoming problems caused by standing water

  8. Preventing global warming

The stages of creating biopori infiltration holes are as follows:
