society. Pesantren has an important role as the central of learning,
understanding, perceiving, and realizing Islamic teaching. Also, it
becomes the central of expanding Islamic sciences and establishing the
character, ethics and moral of society. Even, recently, many Pesantren
have change from time to time. In the past, Pesantren only becomes the
central of expanding religious sciences, but now, some Pesantren
becomes the central of spreading public sciences because they also
provide the public education institution, starts from the elementary to
the university to adapt the development of societal need. Generally,
many Pesantren in Jombang regency have not managed yet the water
