Buntu Mauli village has a population of approximately 184 families with 689 people. Their main livelihood is farmers with commodities from coffee, onions, corn and chilies. Sometimes they also work as Lobster and Fish fishermen as additional income. They did not plant rice because the soil is rocky and not suitable for the commodity. For agricultural land, people plant at the foot of the mountain so that it is close to a spring. The water they use is also used interchangeably by installing a hose to the house. On top of the mountain there are 3 large basins which flow from 3 different parts for water at home and for agricultural land. The people in the village have a creativity where they can make rotating water droplets so that agriculture can get enough and even water, the tools can be moved around so that they are not tired of spraying it. If water is lacking, some people have a water pump to draw water from Lake Toba. For the water supply, they never lack like other Samosir areas that have to struggle to get water.
