teraju.id, Sintang – The East Sintang Forest Management Unit continues to improve to make the forest a source of water absorption wells.
Watersheds are important things that must exist in every region. This will not only be related to waterflood events but also closely related to the presence of water reserves on Earth. A watersheds is an area where rainwater can enter the soil layer so that it does not flow directly into the river.
Usually, the watersheds has many trees because tree roots are very good water locks. Watersheds will be able to prevent flooding, landslides and also be able to store water in the ground and lock it up for future use. This water infiltration proves that water is the source of life. It is important to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
The balance of the ecosystem as an inseparable unit with the forest where the management is in the form of sustainable or sustainable land-based enterprises.
This sustainability was given by the Kapuas Watershed and Protected Forest Management Center to the East Sintang Forest Management Unit by returning to carry out Agroforestry activities covering an area of 625 hectares in 2020-2023.
