 note = {Consist of marginal land, large plantation, small rice field area and small villages with medium density population is a typical land use of arid and underdeveloped area in Indonesia. Low education and skill enforced its people to become a farmer. Limited surface water and capital investment availability is the main reason why rice harvesting should only be done during the rainy season. Catling during the dry season is a limited substitute work as it also requires surface water for harvesting a good grass. The lack of this surface water, making both works as a low income generating work. Therefore, provided water become a promising effort for this area for improving the prosperities of its people in the short term and increasing the development acceleration of this area in the long term. This paper present the benefit comparison of small reservoir development as multy purpose water resources for poor alleviation in arid area of Indonesia compared to ground water and large reservoir. Field observations were done to get social economic data, engineering data (hydrology, climatology, topography etc) and environmental data which were required to conduct the comparison study. Based on its social benefit, engineering performance and environmental concern, it is found that small reservoir is the most advantageous multy purpose water resources for poor alleviation in arid area of Blora, Central Java, Indonesia. The study result will be implemented by the stakeholder who consists of local government, NGO, private institution and local people. It is also suggested that the same further study would be useful for other arid and poor area in Indonesia.},
