Aspects and Principles of Water Resources Management
Management Aspect
In general, the management of water resources (especially groundwater) departs from
only one side, namely how to use and benefit from the presence of water
...
The three aspects of groundwater
management that must not be overlooked are utilization, preservation, and control
...
Only after there is an imbalance
between needs and available water, humans begin to be aware of other aspects
...
One aspect of management is to keep the catchment area
upstream and in the catchment area
...
Likewise, protecting water from
sewage pollution



Control Aspect
It should be realized that, in addition to providing benefits, water also has physical and
chemical damage caused by human activities
...

In groundwater management, these three important aspects must become one unit

and cannot be separated from one another
...
If all parties fail to manage
water resources correctly, not only will we suffer the consequences now, but future
generations will as well
...
Rationale:


Groundwater is a basic need for all living things
...




Groundwater has social, environmental, and economic functions
...


b
...




The existence of groundwater in Indonesia is quite abundant, but not everywhere there
is groundwater
...




Extraction of groundwater in an effort to utilize or use it requires a process similar to
that carried out in mining activities, which includes excavation or drilling activities
...
Groundwater Management Concept
In accordance with Article 12 paragraph (2) of Law Number 7 of 2004 concerning
Water Resources, it is said that the management of arable land is based on the concept
of a Groundwater Basin (CAT), namely, an area bounded by hydrogeological boundaries
where all hydrogeological events such as recharge processes, drainage, and release of
groundwater take place
...
CAT is determined
by Presidential Decree on the recommendation of the Minister (see article 13 paragraph
(1) of Law Number 7 of 2004 concerning Water Resources)
...
Policy Basis


Groundwater has an important role in the life and livelihood of the people, considering
its function as one of the basic necessities of life
...




Groundwater management technically needs to be adapted to the behavior of
groundwater, including the availability, distribution, and quality of groundwater and the
environment in which it exists
...




The main activities in groundwater management, which include the conservation and
utilization of groundwater, are carried out to realize the preservation and balance of
groundwater availability and the sustainable use of groundwater for the greatest
possible prosperity and welfare of the people
...
Groundwater Management Policy Principles:


The principles of groundwater management policies include:



Sustainability

of

groundwater

conditions

and

environment

priority for basic water needs for daily life and smallholder agriculture;


In CAT, provincial or regional/city community welfare;



Justice in meeting water needs;



Mutually supporting the use of groundwater and surface water by prioritizing the use
of surface water;



Balance between groundwater conservation and use

Principles of Groundwater Management in the Future
There are five principles that support mass groundwater management, including:
1
...

This means using only enough water to meet actual needs without wasting it
...
Protection and Preservation of Water Sources, including:


the continuation of the water absorption function;



control over the use of water sources;



water source border area arrangement



Forest and land rehabilitation

b
...
Management of water quality, by improving the quality of water at water sources,
among others, is carried out through aeration efforts at water sources and water
resource infrastructure
...
Water Pollution Control, by preventing water pollution from entering water sources
and water resource infrastructure
...
Campaign to encourage consumers to be more aware of the consequences of
wasteful use
...
Groundwater Resource Utilization is the optimal and sustainable use of groundwater
resources
...

...
This includes not only finances but also
managing the systems and skills needed to maintain and repair the equipment that has
been installed, as well as concern for community participation (in selecting the
technology to be applied and determining how to manage it, as well as in the planning,
construction, management, and proper operation and maintenance)
...

5
...
A city that dumps its pollution into waterways and causes
problems for others is unacceptable
...


It should be realized that, in addition to providing benefits, water also has physical and
chemical damage caused by human activities
...


In groundwater management, these three important aspects must become one unit and cannot
be separated from one another
...
If all parties fail to manage water resources
correctly, not only will we suffer the consequences now, but future generations will as well
