Based on this, the Community Service Institute of Universitas Sumatera Utara organized a Hydrometeorological Disaster Mitigation program in water catchment areas around Lake Toba, with one of these areas designated as an Assisted Village by the institute in Habeahan Village, Lintong Nihuta Sub-district, Humbang Hasundutan Regency.
As part of the disaster mitigation efforts, a socialization activity on the use of Biopore Drills was conducted, which can be used by the community to help increase the capacity for rainwater infiltration into the ground. This is one of the measures to support hydrometeorological disaster mitigation. The Biopore Drills provided on this occasion were donated by the North Sumatra Watershed Forum (Forum DAS Sumut).
