In 2024, Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) strengthened its community education on freshwater ecosystems through integrated teaching, research, and service initiatives. Key programmes included technological innovation and village-level training for sustainable water management. UNDIP developed a solar-powered seawater desalination unit at Teluk Awur, Jepara, producing 200,000 liters of drinking water per day in collaboration with Jepara Regency and Australian National University to address clean-water scarcity in coastal Central Java. Through the KKN Tematik Desa Lerep program, students partnered with PAMSIMAS to map water pipelines and calculate water availability, confirming a local surplus while introducing digital monitoring for long-term sustainability. Together, these initiatives demonstrate UNDIP’s commitment to strengthening local resilience through water innovation, community education, and sustainable freshwater ecosystem management.
