Reservoir eksisting berjumlah 2 unit dan ukuran reservoir eksisting yaitu 5,85 meter x 1,3 meter x 1,5 meter dengan volume tampungan 22,83 m3. Sumur resapan akan dibuat dengan diameter 1 m dan kedalaman 2 m dan berjumlah 1 unit. Air hujan yang dipanen dan dikumpulkan dimanfaatkan untuk kebutuhan air kolam pembesaran ikan, Rainwater harvesting is one way to use rainwater by collecting rainwater and using it for various purposes. This study aims to design a rainwater harvesting system that can be used to fill an existing reservoir. The research was conducted at the SIL Integrated Laboratory, Dramaga Campus of IPB. The required data is in the form of roof area, the volume of the existing reservoir, and the form of rainfall data for the last 10 years. The largest volume of rainfall that can be harvested is 175.69 m3/month and the smallest volume is 36.83 m3/month. The existing gutters are square in shape with a length of 40 meters and a width of 0.3 meters. Vertical galvanized pipes with a diameter of 5 inches, totaling 6 pieces. The control tub was 160,5 cm x 90 cm x 100 cm and connected to a reservoir with a 4-inch pipe. There are 2 existing reservoirs and the size of the existing reservoir is 5.85 meters x 1.3 meters x 1.5 meters with a storage volume of 22.83 m3. Infiltration wells will be made with a diameter of 1 m, a depth of 2 m, and a total of 1 unit. Rainwater that is harvested and collected is used for the water needs of fish-rearing ponds

Judul: Rainwater Harvesting System Design in International  Dormitory of IPB Dramaga Campus
Abstrak: Curah hujan yang tinggi di Bogor mencapai 3500 mm melebihi rata-rata curah hujan nasional antara 2000 – 3000 mm. Pemanenan air hujan cocok untuk dilakukan sebagai langkah konservatif yang dapat dilakukan IPB University dalam upaya pemeliharaan sumber daya air yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui banyaknya suplai air hujan yang dapat dipanen, menghasilkan desain sistem PAH serta RAB instalasinya, dan mengetahui penghematan air serta biaya yang dapat dicapai melalui sistem PAH. Penelitian dilakukan dari Februari – Mei 2024 dengan pengambilan data primer berupa luas atap bangunan dan informasi kebutuhan air bersih, serta data sekunder berupa curah hujan tahun 2000 – 2023 Stasiun BMKG Jawa Barat. Potensi volume air hujan yang dapat dipanen 1230 – 2134 m3 dengan rata-rata suplai 1603 m3 per tahun. Desain sistem pemanenan PAH yang dirancang menggunakan tangki FRP berkapasitas 28 m3 dengan dimensi 7 m x 2 m x 2 m. Talang dipasang dengan kemiringan seragam ½% dan pipa datar dengan kemiringan seragam 1%. Variasi ukuran pipa dan talang yang digunakan antara 1 – 10 inch. Besarnya biaya yang dibutuhkan untuk instalasi PAH sebesar Rp143.000.000,00. Penghematan air aktual yang dapat tercapai melalui sistem PAH sebanyak 44% – 75% dari kebutuhan air tahunan dan menghemat biaya lebih dari 120% dari investasi awal., High rainfall in Bogor reached 3500 mm, exceeding the national average rainfall between 2000 – 3000 mm. Rainwater harvesting is conservative step that IPB University can take to maintain sustainable water resources. This research aims to determine amount of rainwater supply that can be harvested, created PAH system design and installation RAB, and determine water and cost savings that can be achieved through PAH system. The research was conducted from February – May 2024 by collecting primary data of building roof area and information of clean water needs, and secondary data of rainfall from 2000 – 2023 from West Java BMKG Station. Potential harvested volume of rainwater is 1230 – 2134 m3 with average supply 1603 m3 a year. The harvesting system design uses a 28 m3 FRP tank with dimensions 7 m x 2 m x 2 m. The gutter is installed with slope of ½% and the flat pipe with slope of 1%. Variations in pipe and gutter sizes used are between 1 – 10 inches. The cost required for PAH installation is IDR143,000,000.00. Actual water savings that can be achieved through PAH system are 44% – 75% of annual water needs and cost savings of more than 120% of the initial investment.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
