Abstract

Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting (RRWH) is the most popular alternative water source in many urban, suburban, and rural areas. It has received renewed attention as a source of abundant water, water-saving and conservation, and sustainable development. The city of Biak Numfor-Papua Numfor – Papua is facing the problem of water scarcity due to the natural conditions of corals and rocks. The supply of clean water is not able to meet the demand. However, the weather conditions in Biak Numfor-Papua-Papua are unpredictable, with high rainfall being a potential for water conservation. This study proposes RRWH as a rainwater harvesting system for non-potable water consumption developed in the Junior High School (SMP) Building. The urgency of placing RRWH in schools is to fulfill the need for clean water and develop water conservation habits for teachers and students. This study describes the perceptions of teachers and students on the implementation of RRWH in schools. The distribution of questionnaires to 30 junior high school teachers and 60 junior high school students to find out their perceptions about the limitations of clean water, the potential for implementing RRWH, and the involvement of teachers and students in RRWH management. The analysis results show that most teachers and students reveal that water availability in schools is very minimal. Furthermore, the potential for implementing the RRWH system is highly rated—likewise, respondents’ perceptions of the possibility of involving students in the management of RRWH. The results of this study indicate that the RRWH model can be applied to Junior High School in Biak Numfor-Papua.
