A resident of Gang Langgar Dukur, Kertajaya, Juwingan, Surabaya, East Java, Ibu Aminatus talked enthusiastically about a new addition to her home: a direct connection to PDAM (Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum, or municipal water company) Surabaya’s water supply network. “I’m so happy.....even my grandson teases me by saying, ‘Wow, Grandma, now you can take a shower using PDAM water and make your skin white!’” Since 1975 residents of Gang Langgar Dukur have purchased clean water from vendors, as well as obtaining water from artesian wells using an electric pump. Thanks to a micro credit program launched by PDAM Surabaya, in conjunction with a local branch of Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), however, a direct connection to piped-water is now affordable to residents of the densely populated Juwingan area. “The procedure was simple,” explained Ibu BasukiIbu, a neighbor of Ibu Aminatus, who was also present that afternoon. “Someone from BRI came and interviewed me, asking me what kind of valuable things I had. And since I only have a TV set, that was the only thing he put on the list. What’s even better is that he didn’t take it away from me. I just signed the credit agreement on 28 December, and two weeks later, piped water was available at my home.” On 15 January 2007, PDAM Surabaya completed the installation of piped water supply services to five households in Gang Langgar Dukur, including those of Ibu Aminatus and Ibu Basuki. Since new customers are required to cover the installation costs of both the tertiary piping leading to their home and the household connection itself, the five residents must each pay a base charge of Rupiah 2.7 million. Such a fee is difficult for low-income households to pay in one lump sum. Using a micro credit scheme allows aspiring customers to spread this cost out into more affordable, monthly installments. “I chose a one-year program” said Ibu Aminatus, “which allows me to pay an installment of a little less than Rp. 300,000 per month.” QUATERLY PROGRESS REPORT NO.8 JANUARY – MARCH 2007 Prior to the installation, these residents had already been on PDAM Surabaya’s customer waiting list since October of 2005. Once the credit agreement was signed, their connection was prioritized by the utility. The micro credit program for new household installations is expected to become a solution for communities who are unable to enjoy piped water facilities from the PDAM due to prohibitive, upfront connection charges. In addition to BRI, Bank Jatim also supports the financing scheme for the micro credit program. PDAM Surabaya anticipates that as many as 5,000 households may utilize the micro credit program to connect to the water supply network. “For the micro credit program, USAID/ESP served as a facilitator of the agreement process between the PDAM and BRI,” said Gusril Bahar, an Environmental Finance Specialist based in ESP’s Jakarta Office. Over a period of approximately 6 months, Mr. Bahar introduced the concept to the respective parties, shared the benefits of micro credit as an alternative financing strategy, and explained the structure of the credit scheme. It is hoped that the micro credit program will help solve two complicated problems currently facing the provision of piped water in Surabaya: the PDAM’s lack of funds for new installation development and communities’ inability to subscribe to the PDAM’s service due to the initial connection costs. As for local banking institutions—especially those that target lower income groups—the program provides a promising opportunity to capture a larger market and expand their customer base.

Hananto Kisworo, Dipl.HE Sukiyoto, ME Publisher: Directorate General of Water Resources Yayasan Air Adhi Eka i Japan International Cooperation Agency ii River Management in Indonesia English Edition English edition of this book is a translation from the book : “Pengelolaan Sungai di Indonesia” January 2013 ISBN 978-979-25-64-62-4 Director General of Water Resources Foreword Water, as a renewable resource, is a gift from God for all mankind. Water is a necessity of life for creatures in this world. No water, no life. The existence of water, other than according to the hydrological cycle, at a particular place, at a particular time, and in particular quality as well as quantity is greatly influenced by a variety of natural phenomena and also by human behavior. Properly managed water and its resources will provide sustainable benefits for life. However, on the other hand, water can also lead to disasters, when it is not managed wisely. Therefore, it is highly necessary to conduct comprehensive and integrated water resources management efforts, or widely known as “Integrated Water Resources Management”. In the same way, river management efforts as part of the river basin integrated water resources management, include efforts on river utilization, development, protection, conservation and control, in an integrated river basin with cross-jurisdiction, cross-regional and cross- sectoral approach. This book outlines how water resources development and management in several river basins are carried out from time to time according to the existing situations and conditions, Besides, it covers various challenges and obstacles faced by the policy makers and the implementers in the field, The existing sets of laws and regulations and the various uses and benefits are also discused.

  • The Origin of the Woyla Terranes in Sumatra and the Late Mesozoic Evolution of the Sundaland Margin
    Journal of Asian Earth Sciences 18 (2000) 713–738 www.elsevier.nl/locate/jseaes The origin of the Woyla Terranes in Sumatra and the Late Mesozoic evolution of the Sundaland margin A.J. Barber SE Asia Research Group, Department of Geology, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK Received 5 June 1999; accepted 29 April 2000 Abstract The Jurassic–Cretaceous Woyla Group of northern Sumatra includes fragments of volcanic arcs and an imbricated oceanic assemblage. The arc rocks are intruded by a granitic batholith and are separated from the original continental margin of Sundaland by the oceanic assemblage. Rocks of the arc assemblage are considered to be underlain by a continental basement because of the occurrence of the intrusive granite and of tin anomalies identified in stream sediments. Quartzose sediments associated with the granite have been correlated with units in the Palaeozoic basement of Sumatra. From these relationships a model has been proposed in which a continental sliver was separated from the margin of Sundaland in the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous in an extensional strike-slip faulting regime, producing a short-lived marginal basin. The separated continental fragments have been designated the Sikuleh and Natal microcontinents. In the mid-Cretaceous the extensional regime was succeeded by compression, crushing the continental fragments back against the Sundaland margin, with the destruction of the marginal basin, now represented only by the imbricated oceanic assemblage. Modifications of this scenario are required by subsequent studies. Age-dating of the volcanic assemblage and intrusive granites in the Natal area showed that they formed part of an Eocene–Oligocene volcanic arc and are not relevant to the model.
