The construction of rainwater harvesting and filtering system was conducted by the Faculty of Built Environment on 7-8 March 2020 at Kampung Sungai Putin, located at Asajaya approximately 63 KM from Kuching city. The village suffers from water supply shortages especially during dry season. The water supply pressure from the nearest water treatment has failed to distribute the water supply to the village. Jabatan Bekalan Air Luar Bandar (JBALB) who supplies clean water to the villagers are constrained by the limited number of water tankers to make sufficient trips. Most of the houses were supplied with sufficient water tank from the state government for rainwater harvesting.
