Learning through an environmental approach is a learning alternative for students, especially at the elementary school level, because   in the environmental approach students are invited out of the classroom to carry out direct learning with the environment around them. The benefit of the environmental approach is that students can get to know their surroundings so that students can understand, care for, and be responsible for the environment. Environmental learning (PLH) can trigger learning to be more fun. Fun learning can stimulate students to actively participate in   activities so that students can express what they feel. Fun learning based on an environmental approach will be carried out on clean water and dirty water because remembering water is very important for life.
