In the concept of the hydrological cycle that the amount of water in a certain area on the surface of the earth is influenced by the amount of water entering (input) and out (put) in a certain period.

It cannot be denied that some areas of Java and Madura have experienced water shortages, of all the water earth 97.5% is salt water, fresh water is 2.5%.This not entirely surface water and ground water. In Kabupaten Jember, especially in the area of underground water sampling (ABT) conducted by drilling wells in community development projects from the results of this study is expected to help and provide solutions to communities in the study area in the form of water buildings for storage of agricultural water reserves.Keywords:Reviewof Craft Balanc
