Building public awareness through various media platforms regarding the importance of water conservation.

Working with communities to widely create biopores to prevent floods and water crises.
Initially initiated by the Maesa Group in 2017 with the creation of biopores in Ponorogo, East Java, it has now grown into a national movement, with #MenabungAir initiatives spanning over 10 cities across Indonesia. #MenabungAir di lebih dari 10 kota di Indonesia.
According to a study by the World Resources Institute, Indonesia faces a high risk of a severe water crisis by 2040.
Floods affect several regions in Indonesia during the rainy season due to land subsidence and poor water absorption.
70% of rivers in Indonesia are polluted by domestic waste (Ministry of Environment and Forestry, 2022)
We focus on using biopore technology as a solution. Biopores are not the sole solution to Indonesia’s water problems, but when implemented collectively on a large scale, they can effectively address multiple water issues.
The Menabung Air Movement is now active in various cities across Indonesia. From a single biopore initiative in Ponorogo, it has grown into a national effort in cities prone to floods and water crises.

Every action, no matter how small, when done together, will create a significant impact for the future of water in Indonesia.
Workshops, school campaigns, and community training on the importance of water conservation.
Widespread creation of biopore holes in areas prone to floods and water crises.
Every hand that creates a biopore infiltration hole represents a concrete step toward protecting the future of Indonesia’s water resources. As of June 2025, this movement continues to grow. Hingga Juni 2025, gerakan ini terus berlangsung.
