The method used is quantitative and spatial analysis to calculate the potential, utilization, and balance water resources. The results showed potential and utilization of water in Sabu Raijua. The balance of water resources showed greater 'aktiva' than 'pasiva', and there is still a balance of 415,453,645.75 m 3 /year.
