Abstract

Apart from having a positive impact on people’s welfare, tourism in Bali also harms ecosystem sustainability, especially regarding the issue of the groundwater crisis. The increase number of tourists is of course accompanied by an increase in the need for clean water. PDAM is only able to meet around 40-50% of the need for clean water. Both the results of the Strategic Environmental Study conducted by the Bali Province (2010) and the research by Politeknik Negeri Bali in collaboration with Idep Foundation (2018) reported that there were indicators of groundwater exploitation and seawater intrusion in the tourism area. This program is an International joint research and community service between Politeknik Negeri Bali, Management Science University Malaysia, and Idep to build and strengthen a culture of saving water and awareness for water resources conservation for climate change mitigation. Refers to the SDG No. 6, the main activities in this program were education, training, coaching, and practices for communities related: 1) River Estuaries Water Processing to increase Sustainable Clean Water Resources; 2) Reforestation in the main catchment area of Bali Province; and 3) Waste management of Village level of landfill which implemented Reduce, Recycling, and Reuse system. The finding through this program is that increasing knowledge and competencies and involving the community in water conservation activities encourage the community to preserve water as well as the environment. In this way, the application of various methods and technologies to conserve water sources will ensure their sustainability.
