Water plays an essential role in human life. However, destructive behavior and a lack of awareness about its preservation have contributed to an crisis. Proper management is key to ensuring the sustainability and continued availability of water. Ngesrepbalong village, located on the slopes of Mount Ungaran in the Limbangan District of Kendal Regency, Indonesia, is home to abundant water sources. This study explores the village’s water resource management model and its conservation efforts. A qualitative, descriptive research approach was used, employing source triangulation for analysis. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews, document analysis, and field observations. The findings reveal a conflict in the utilization of water resources between the community and the Kendal Region Water Company(PDAM), affecting the availability of water for the lower hamlet. Additionally, problems arise in the agricultural sector, which has limited sources of irrigation. Various efforts have been made to control water usage by the community, including the Community-Based Drinking Water and Sanitation Provision Program (PAMSIMAS).
