Abstract

This study examines the application of natural filtration materials in clean water installations for the community of Labak Suren Village. The clean water source comes from a river, with water that tends to be turbid, especially during the rainy season. The main objective of this research is to improve the quality of the water used by the community through environmentally friendly and effective filtration methods. The activities involved the installation of filters and filter media using materials such as sand, gravel, and activated charcoal, as well as laboratory testing of water samples before and after the filtration process. Based on the test data, after filtering with two filtration media, a reduction in Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) from 15,360 mg/L to 3,840 mg/L was observed, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) decreased from 8,064 mg/L to 1,008 mg/L, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) decreased from 810,000 mg/L to 670,000 mg/L, and turbidity showed a substantial reduction from 1,016.161 mg/L to 126.365 mg/L. Referring to national quality standards, particularly for river water, the test results classify the water as first-class, meaning it can be used as raw water for drinking water.
