1. Background

Background
Indonesia consists of about 17.508 island of which 6,000 are inhabited The archipelago covers 8 million square km of the earths surface with total land area of about two million km2 Indonesias population is estimated at about 232 million with growth rate of 1,66% Republic of Indonesia is divided into 33 provinces, 400 regencies and 92 cities Indonesia has varied rainfall distribution from 800 4000 mm/year. The rainfall are mostly concentrated within 5 (five) months whereas the other 7 (seven) months faces dry season.

Vision and Mission

Vision : Water resources are managed comprehensively and integrally with an environmental concept, with the aim of realizing sustainable water resources benefits for optimal public welfare

Missions : 1) water resources conservation, 2) efficient use of water resources; 3) control of water destructive potential; 4) empowerment and improved role of community, business, and government; and 5) improvement of data and informations availability and transparency.
11

Policy Direction in Water Resources Management

a. Prevent conflict inter region, inter sector, and inter generation in order to strengthen the national security and the unity of the nation. b. Encourage integrated water resource management process inter sector and inter region in central level, province level, district/city level, and river basin level. c. Balance water resources conservations and its utilization to reach the sustainable water. d. Balance the social function and economic value of water. e. Develop budgeting system of water resource management. f. Develop institutional arrangement in water resource management which can open the opportunity to increase the community participation.

INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Water resources management is based on RBT (a territory unitary of WRM in one or more river basins and/or small islands). Central government. responsible to manage inter-state, interprovinces, and nationally strategic RBTs, Provincial government. responsible with inter-districts RBTs, and district/regency government. responsible with RBTs in one district/regency. The whole area is divided into 133 river basin territories (RBTs) where 69 RBTs are central government responsibilities and the rest of 64 RBTs are local government responsibilities. The implementation of water management in RBTs are done by river basin territory management units (river basin organizations/ RBOs). It has been established a National Water Council, 13 Provincial water Councils and 12 River Basin territory Water Councils.

Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies on Water Sector

Adaptation and mitigation strategies: Improve the service quality of Water Resources Infrastructure to national food resilience and reduce susceptibility against floods, landslides and drought. Develop the disaster risk management for flood and water related disaster. Enhancing water saving campaign, efficiency use and water demand management. Support reforestation, especially in the critical river basin catchments area. Considering climate change impact, Water Resources management should be held in integrity through holistic approach and supported by strong institutional system and involving all stakeholders concerned.

6. Preparedness of Drought Anticipation

27

Preparedness of Drought Anticipation

I. Provision of infrastructure and increase reliability of water resources
Construction of reservoirs; Increase capacity of water supply by rehabilitation and improvement of reservoirs; Operation and Maintenance of the reservoirs and water resources; Develop small reservoirs on part of agriculture land.

(1)

28

Preparedness of Drought Anticipation

II. Water Management Effort Construction of reservoirs; Make Water Allocation which is based on the water balance of each river basin; Intensive monitoring of water availability in reservoirs by monitor the reservoirs water level; Eficiency of water consumption for irrigation purposes (80% of Water used for irrigation). Improving the capacity of water absorption on the catchment area and conservation effort to improving the ground water availability and also to decresing drainage load Applying the rainwater harvesting technology and make surface runoff networks, especially for areas that frequently in clean water crises.

29

Preparedness of Drought Anticipation

(3)

Eficiency of Water Consumption can be done by: Intensive monitoring of leakage in irrigation network; Application of water consumption priority; Optimization of planting areal; Prevention of illegal water consumption in the river and the channel Application of system rotation in water usage and application of water saving technologies; Applying the principle of water usage repeatedly. Water in the drainage channel can be pumped back to the agricultural land.
30

Preparedness of Drought Anticipation

III. Empowering the farmers Application of cropping schedule and cropping system in accordance rotation period of planting and plant species that have been agreed in the planting plan; Counseling of efficient and effective water consumption through the Water Efficient Movement and increasing the awareness of environmental conservation; Application of SRI methods. In 2009 applied to the six provinces with a total area of 69.50 ha and increased to an area of 3159.9 ha in 2010.

Preparedness of Drought Anticipation

IV. Drought Mitigation Provision of Water Pump. Currently available 95 units of water pump (capacity 25 liters/second) spread at 6 BBWS/BWS in Directorate General of Water Resources Supply the clean water through water tank truck and public hydrant for water crises area Coordination with BNPB and the other sectors for disasters and climate anomaly anticipation Implementation of Weather Modification Technology cooperate with the other sectors (BPPT, BMKG, LIPI, Local Goverment)

7. Concluding Remarks

33

CONCLUDING REMARKS
Water resources management is based on a holistic and integrated approach. On the implementation WRM should be supported by 3 aspects : legal, capacity of institutions, and finance. Establishment of WR Council is important to accommodate the aspiration of all stakeholders. Participation of all stakeholders in all process of water resources implementation is needed.
34

CONCLUDING REMARKS
As an archipelagos and developing country, Indonesia that is the one of the most vulnerable countries has to prepare activities plan in detail dealing with natural disaster and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Considering climate change impacts and clearly to define Who do What, water resources management should be held in integrity through holistic approach and supported by strong institutional system and involving all stakeholders.
