LET’S SAVE THE WATER WITH BIO PORE ABSORBING HOLE
1. Everybody knows that water is important for our life. Nobody can live without water. That is why we have to save water by using it wisely and economically. On the other hand we have to save water from the rain water so that this water does not go directly to the sea (through the river), Because the soil could not do its function to absorb the water into the soil.
2. To answer the question of how the rain water so that does not go directly to the river, then to the sea, we can use the kit which we call "The Bio pore Absorber"
3. The inventor of the method of Bio pore is Dr. Kamir Pariadin Broto, Msc. Farming from Faculty of Bogor Farming Institute, West Java
4. Before mentioning the Bio pore absorbed, let's see the rain water which falls to the surface of the land, it can be divided in two parts:
a. The surface stream (this water can not be absorbed by the soil so it is streaming in the area).
b. The infiltration water (this part of water infiltrate into the soil in the future then it can be the reserve beneath the ground water).
5. How does the Bio pore Absorber work?
It works by making Bio pore Absorbing Hole. These Bio pore Absorbing Hole (BAH) can be made in or at:
a. The base of the drain (ditch) which is formerly using to draw away the rain water,
b. The land near the park, car parking, the garage,
c. The basic channel around the trees,
d. The yard, the garden, un-irrigated agricultural field.
6. Then after the BAH has been made it can be filled with organic rubbish. It needs to be add again and again for the contents will be getting moldiness Because of decrease. The compos Which Will be produced by this hole can be taken for fertilizer in the end of dry season.
7. For the safety (to prevent the accident) the BAH has to be covered with plastic cover or used tin can (but the cover has to be made small hole for running the water into the hole). While The Edge of the BAH, it needs to be given lode from cement.
8. Bio pore is alternative technology for absorbing rain water beside the absorbing well. Bio pore can be called "The Palace for worm" although its dweller is not only worm, but Because the organic content is rubbish, so it will Stimulate small animals, such as ant, worm, termites come into the hole and making bio pore as small tunnels, so that the water can be absorbed soon.
9. There are ten special benefit for Bio pore Absorbing Hole (BAH):
a. To keep ground water reserve.
* Which is the water entering in the BAH will be absorbed by small tunnels Which has been made by the dwellers (small animals in the BAH).
* Which Water has been absorbed by then BAH will be conversed by the soil for being ground water reservation.
b. To prevent the subsidence of the land and the cracking of the land.
* The BAH is only 10 cm, so that has no risk for being subsidence and cracking.
* The leafs and organic rubbish Which Had been put inside the BAH can be Preventing subsidence of the land.
* The Bio pore small tunnels - or small channel has been farmed Which Can Improve the land structure, so that the land is not easily to be crack cocaine.
c. To hamper the intrusion of the sea water.
* The decreasing ground water reserve can make the sea water and mix absorbed into the ground water.
* The water goes into the Which BAH will be conversed to become saving the ground water. So it can Prevent the sea water entering to push to the ground.
d. To converse the organic rubbish to become compost.
* Inside the BAH is many kind of dwelling bacterium & ground fauna Which Will Be Causing to rot of the organic rubbish Which has been put into the BAH.
* the organic rubbish Which has been rotten compost will become, that we can use as fertilizer for our plantation.
e. To promote the Fertility of the soil.
* The compost fertilizer Which is processing in the BAH can be used as fertilizer, Which Will be giving the Impact of Negative Effect of chemical fertilizer residue.
* The more the compost using the more fertilizing the soil, and the residue will not be giving harm Effect for the land.
f. To keep the biological variety in the soil.
* Even-though it is a relatively small BAH, but the absorbing area is widely, so that the biological variety in the soil has enough food and enough room air.
* By enough food available, and room air, so that the biological variety in the soil will be keeping alive and well will be multiplying.
g. The disease such as malaria, Dengue Fever, etc. Which is as the result of the water Which has been filling a spot and not flowing can be overcome.
* By this BAH the water will be absorbed in the soil, and it can Reduce the flooded area, even to prevent this water filling, then the disease as the result of water flooding can be prevented.
h. The rubbish Which can make pollution of the water and the air can be reducing.
* The organic rubbish Which has been throwing away anywhere, or at some place, will give a bad odor. But by filling the BAH with the rubbish the bad odor can be prevented.
* Because of the form of the BAH is round and deep in the soil Which is narrow in the top, so the process of delaying will not give any bad odor.
* The organic rubbish in the BAH will not be Because of flowing water streaming, so this rubbish will not go to pollute the river or ditch.
i. The gas emission (CO2 and methane gas) of the glass house can be Reduce.
* The rubbish heap of organic will give CO2 and methane gas. The more the rubbish heap will be the more gas producing.
* The Which rubbish has been put in the BAH will be processed naturally by biotical variety Which is inside the soil, so that the decaying process will be happening soon.
* Because the organic rubbish has been put in the BAH, so the gas coming of the rubbish will be absorbed by the gas that soil Which goes to the air will be reduced.
j. To reduce flood, land-slide and drought.
* Because the water will be well absorbed into the soil, so the rain water Which is flowing in the area will be reduced.
* Because of decreasing water Which is flowing in the surface, so the flood and land-slide can be reduced.
* By the stock more water in the soil, then the spring can be long standing, even, the new spring will also be emerging.
10. The Bio pore Absorbing Hole Kit
The Bio pore Absorber has been designed to make easy for doing the Bio pore Absorbing Hole (BAH) which is suitable for using the water by absorbing organic pore approach. BAH This kit is also needed for taking the compost in the hole after it has been formed (after the rubbish become the compost).
One hole can be made in ten minutes time.
11. What Yayasan Penghibur campaign has done to the bio pore Absorb?
Considering that Absorb Bio pore is good to save our soil and for our nature conservation. It is also good to Prevent the land-slide and flood, as well as to make our land more fertile, and to make better for our global climate, Yayasan Penghibur has been campaigning using the Bio of this pore Absorb. The result is not so well in our area, but our friends in East Java and Yogyakarta
For instance for our friends in East Java (Malang) they campaign the pore Absorb Bio among the school children and the farmer groups. So, YP Will Intensify the campaign among the farmer groups, the head of the villages and also among the school children (Senior High School). We hope that in the year 2010 we will can do it.
