Paper Title
Biopore Infiltration Hole: "One Day For Biopore" As An Alternative Prevent Flood
Abstract
Floods are natural disasters caused by the overflow of sea water or river water caused by rainfall. The flood
disaster is becoming one of the biggest problems faced in every country because it caused damage, the spread of the disease,
and loss of life. In 2012, major floods occurred in five countries: China, Nigeria, Myanmar, Russia, and Italy. Appropriate
controlsis a solution to prevent flooding.Kamir R. Brata a researcher of the Institute of Agriculture (IPB), which is the
creator Biopore holes technology that use organic waste to cope with stagnant water by increasing the water absorbing
power on the ground. Biopore infiltration holes can be used as an alternative for flood control by relying on the principle of
water infiltration. Biopore infiltration holes must be applied appropriately, focused and true to the flooding that occurred in
various countries can be resolved. Application of biopore technology can be applied by making the policy of "One Day for
Biopore". The policy involves all layers of society in every country so that the effect of the biopore infiltration hole can be
immediately felt and society becomes more concerned about the environment.
