Rainwater is an abundant source of water, especially in the rainy season. On the other
hand, if rainwater is not managed properly, it can cause disasters, such as floods and
landslides. Therefore, it is essential to manage rainwater as well as possible, namely by
collecting rainwater and then absorbing it back into the ground. If the rainwater can be
managed properly, it will be able to overcome some environmental damage, including
groundwater problems. Controlling groundwater problems can be overcome in various
ways. One of the concrete steps that can be done is with a rainwater-friendly village
program. Research that uses empirical methods is conducted with a focus on social facts
by collecting interview data. The study results showed that the rainwater-friendly village
program could overcome groundwater problems caused by karst areas and increase
human populations. Implementing the rainwater-friendly village program and overcoming
groundwater problems is also a concrete step taken by the government to support the
existence of the Village Sustainable Development Goals, especially point 6, which ensures
that communities achieve access to clean water and sanitation.
