Biopori Program in Marunda Rusunawa
Rajawali Foundation together with Rajawali Corporate and Nusantara Infrastructure held Biopori Program in Marunda Rusunawa (low-cost apartment) in North Jakarta, on April 8, 2015. This event was a CSR activity of Rajawali through an action of environmental concern along with Marunda Rusunawa community.
Biopori is a water absorbing pit dug into the ground, as a water absorption method to overcome water puddle by increasing the soil’s water absorption. This method was proposed by Dr. Kamir R. Brata, one of the researchers from Bogor Botanical Institute (IPB).
The benefit of Biopori Program was given to Marunda Rusunawa community. The improvement of water absorbing power on the ground can be done by making a hole in the ground and fill it with organic waste to produce compost. The heaped organic waste in the holes can feed the soil fauna, which onward is able to create pores in the soil.
The execution of Biopori Program was done in the 100 x 8 meters garden area in front of the Rusunawa B Cluster. Maximum target of biopori that can be made around the area is 240 holes. The sustainable spirit and initiatives to preserve the environment from the Marunda Rusunawa community is expected after this event.
