In 2019 there were 9 (nine) managers of drinking water from Sikumbang Springs. The management of the Sikumbang Spring water supply business is still carried out individually and traditionally means that the management carried out by the Sikumbang Spring entrepreneur is only limited to exploitation. Management does not include environmental preservation. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential and determine the sustainable management strategy of Sikumbang Springs in Pulau Sarak Village, Kampar District, Kampar Regency. The benefit gained from this research is the balance between environmental, economic and social aspects in managing Sikumbang Spring. and the community as water users / entrepreneurs get information on the potential of Sikumbang Springs in Pulau Sarak Village.

The more accurate results of the largest population is at the end of the planned year, namely in 2029 with a total population of 50.732 people (10-year projection). The potential of Sikumbang Spring based on the value of its debit from March to December 2020 is 247.127.040 liters. The need for clean water for household needs (drinking and cooking water) in Kampar sub-district is 6,3 ((liters / day) / soul), so that the community's water demand in Kampar sub-district in 2019 is 310.697 liters / day. The average daily debit of Sikumbang Springs is 808.272 liters / day. The calculation of the average daily debit of Sikumbang Spring shows that the debit value of Sikumbang Spring exceeds the value of its needs.
