Abstract

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, especially in Sabu Island, is one of the most
frequently drought areas, especially in the dry season, when the rainy season is relatively short each
year (± 4 months per year). Thus, the government, both from the local government and central
government keep on to program the implementation of small reservoirs development work in all islands
in NTT, including in Sabu Island. The government and the community hope that the development of
the small reservoir is targeted, where the location is possible and indispensable, with efficient
(economic) usage, technical qualifications, and no problem with land status.
Data collection is done by observation and interview with some elements of prospective users
of small reservoir in nine locations. The data are classified into several aspects, namely technical, social,
environmental, economic and land status aspects of each location. The data is given an assessment of
all aspects, then summarized all the results of the assessment.
The results of data processing showed that the factors that influence the site selection of small
reservoir locations on Sabu Island are technical, social, environmental, economic and land status. 5 sites
of the most ideal small reservoirs location built on Sabu Island, so it is not redundant and can be utilized
well by the community of water users of small reservoirs is Embung Kili with points (values) 84, Hanga
Lui Hara (82), Hanga Kepaka (81), Lobala ( 81), Ketu Ke'bao (70).
