Prior to 2006, the residents of Suka Mulia and Suka Damai villages in the Seulawah Valley Subdistrict faced challenges in accessing clean water. In response to this issue, the two villages collaborated through the Sub-district Development Program/Program Pengembangan Kecamatan (PPK) to construct a clean water network sourced from the Alur Mancang Spring, which is situated at the base of Mount Seulawah Agam. The construction of this clean water network was gradually completed in 2010, when house connections/sambungan rumah (SR) became available. Therefore, to maintain the catchment area to ensure the continuous availability of clean water and to campaign for the importance of protecting the area, the Forum Alur Mancang Saree (FAMS) was formed. The aim of this study was to evaluate and examine the water availability in the two Gampongs, which are drained by the Alur Mancang Saree Water Source Area, in light of the increasing population growth. To achieve this goal, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was employed to collect data through field observations, documentation studies, and in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using a water-carrying capacity analysis method based on the water balance concept. The results revealed that the Alur Mancang discharge (100 liters/second) is sufficient to meet the water needs (12.25 liters/second) of Gampong Suka Damai and Suka Mulia for the entire 10-year plan. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing.
