The problem of clean water supply is connected to the growth of the human settlement. In the last 20 years, the area of Jabodetabek has grown to become the home of 30 million people. The massive growth changes many rural areas into urban, consequently including the Mekar Bakti village, Panongan regency, Tangerang, where modern development has entered and intervened. This massive change has created problems at the expense of losing local wisdom that is also subjected to clean water preservation and conservation system. The research then tried to use video documentary as a means to preserve the local wisdom of water conservation and as a campaign tool for the community of Mekar Bakti village to retain their already ethical values and systems on conserving clean water. The research conducted using the methods of Participatory Action Research combines with Design Thinking and video documentary methods. It will allow the researcher team to investigate along its quantitative sides as experimental innovations, as well as its qualitative sides as experience and appreciation of participatory endeavors. In a broader sense, the strategy can be used to preserve local wisdom as an exemplary practice aligns with modern development.
