Bamboo has been widely used for water resource conservation. The benefits of bamboo as a water resource conservation plant are not well known by the public. This paper discussed the process of promoting bamboo as a conservation plant for the people of Jedong, Wagir Subdistrict, Malang Regency. They used water from Sumber-Wangkal and Sumber-Cokro Springs to fullfil their water needs. The methods applied in this research are soil surveying and causal loop diagrams model. The soil surveying and causal loop diagrams model were done to get the spring’s soil conditions and to find out the water resources conservations efforts by Jedong people in both springs, respectively. The soil samples analysis showed that the soil in both areas is suitable for bamboo plants. The causal loop diagrams (Jedong Water Resources Conservation) model showed that the village-owned water management (Pengelola Air Minum Desa/PAMDes), as the organizational system on water reseources management will be able to promote the bamboo plants for conservation. Promoting bamboo plants to the Jedong community is very important to support the water resources sustainability in Jedong.
