Abstract (2. Language): 
This article describes the local wisdom in the small islands of Tatoareng, Sangihe Regency in managing freshwater resources. The study was conducted in 12 villages located on three islands in Tatoareng Sub-district, Para Island, Kahakitang Island, and Mahangetang Island. The identification of water availability conditions is divided into three categories: abundant, sufficient, and less. Local wisdom of society is obtained by interview method. The result of the research shows that there are differences of land degradation causing variation of water availability in the three islands. The three island communities have local wisdom in managing freshwater resources that require reinforcement for the restoration of rain catchment areas.
