Water absorption on the land surface is influenced by several factors, including coverage or area, soil conditions, and vegetation. Drinking water Supply System has not a national policy that aims to increase public access to water with quality ready to drink. By respect to the necessary to supervise the quality of water distribution to the public by the provider of drinking water service. The tightly of surface conditions, the infiltration rate will be smaller and the greater the runoff this happens because the solid soil is difficult to penetrate by water. The soil surface nature determines it is factors; density and the presence of plants. To increase the power of capacity or soil absorption, carried out using tree roots as an alternative to minimize the occur of inundation, so that research was conducted on samples of inundation land grass and tree roots vegetation in the laboratory. The results land natural was runoff obtained 25456.79 ml/minute and while the land with tree cover runoff was 19665.10 ml/minute. Through testing the Rainfall Simulator, tree root material in soil samples can reduce 22.75% of the inundation and while samples with grass cover can reduce as much as 19.35%. From this research, it was concluded that the roots of pucuk merah plant used in testing could be an alternative to the vegetation of land cover to minimize surface runoff.
