Rainwater harvesting (RH) techniques, specifically the implementation of Bio-pore Infiltration Holes (BIH), have been investigated as cost-effective and practical methods for managing surface runoff mitigating flood risks. This study aimed to evaluate infiltration rates BIH in secondary forest agricultural moorland areas, providing a basis sustainable soil water conservation practices. A survey methodology was employed assess using Horton equation model applied circular holes with depth 50 cm. Soil samples were collected from vicinity analysis physical properties at Science Laboratory, Faculty Agriculture, Tadulako University. 4-inch diameter PVC pipe, inserted 30 cm into soil, used measure infiltration, levels recorded up 60 The findings indicated that both lands moderate. characteristics including its texture organic carbon content, identified suboptimal, which constrained efficiency waste absorption through process. land types classified sandy according USDA standards, making it susceptible erosion, is directly related capacity potential transport during erosion events. content relatively low, 2.50% 1.17% land, indicating medium-level criteria content. To enhance mitigation, recommended efforts be made increase material compost application post-flood rehabilitation. Expanding use high-risk areas advocated effectively reduce control runoff.
