Abstract
Floods often leave significant impacts on environmental quality, particularly the decline in the quality of clean water sources desperately needed by affected communities. This community service activity aims to provide a solution for post-disaster clean water availability through the application of an appropriate technology-based multilevel water filtration system. The main problem identified is that well and surface water sources have become turbid, odorous, and potentially contain iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) due to contamination by flood-borne materials. The use of untreated water poses a high risk of environmental-related diseases, such as diarrhea and skin infections. The solution was a simple filtration device with an upflow filtration system using a combination of silica sand, activated carbon, and manganese greensand media. The community service implementation method was carried out through several structured stages, starting from preparation and location surveys, tool design, installation implementation, to the training, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation stages. The results of this activity indicate a significant improvement in water quality, making it more suitable for fulfilling daily needs. In addition, the training provided successfully increased the knowledge and practical skills of the community in operating and maintaining the filtration system independently. In conclusion, this filtration technology interventioneffectively addressed the emergency clean-water crisis and fostered sustainable community self-reliance.
