Central Sumba Regency is included in disadvantaged, foremost, and outermost (3T) areas that experience scarcity of clean water. This community service program is carried out to help overcome the problem of water scarcity using abundant solar energy sources in East Nusa Tenggara. This Solar Still Floating Technology applied uses cheap materials and is widely available so that 3T people including Central Sumba Regency can make their own water distillation tools. The activity began with the installation of Floating Solar Still in Anakalang Village, Central Sumba Regency. The activity is then followed by monitoring the solar still set that has been installed and adjusted to local conditions. The activity was then focused on community training in Anakalang, Mamboro, and Konda Maloba in order to make floating solar still itself in the future. This program is a form of the real contribution of ITB in solving problems that are locally relevant to new renewable energy technology.
