Sustainable water resources management in Indonesia
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Ari Sandhyavitri, Robert J. YoungThe development of water resources management in Indonesia has been fragmented and largely ineffectual. A comprehensive
strategic review is required to ensure sustainable urban water supply (UWS) within a structure of integrated water
resources management (WRM) based on hydrologically defined administrative areas. Strategies applicable to national,
regional and local levels are discussed. The strategies at the national level encompass: planning frameworks for WRM
based on watersheds; strengthening of environmental regulatory systems and institutions; strengthening of co-ordination
between departments responsible for all aspect of water; and the establishment of competent and robust institutions. At
the local/regional level, the strategies emphasise the crucial steps for ensuring the implementation of sustainability of both
WRM and UWS including identification of local and regional WRM problems; and establishment of institutions responsible
for financing, operation and management of UWS systems. Consideration is also given to the potential for the phased
introduction of private sector involvement in the financing, operation and management of UWS systems.
