Sanur is one of five Sustainable Tourism Observatory (STO) in Indonesia. As the oldest tourist resort in Bali, Sanur Tourist Resort couldn’t avoid various problems. Jasmine hotel in this area must face the same problems, such as fresh water crisis. Responding to this, Indonesian’s Tourism Ministry appealed to the entire hotels to develop eco-friendly tourism through an environmental audit on The Green Hotel program. Thus, the hotels should conduct various efforts towards sustainable tourism. This research was conducted in order to find out the performance of jasmine hotels in Sanur Tourist Resort in implementing Green Hotel principles, related to water conservation. Data were collected between August and December 2018 through observation, interviews, distributed questionnaires, literature study and checking documents. The data were qualitatively and quantitatively analysed. The results showed that in Sanur Tourist Resort, the implementation of water conservation has been implemented well by 23.08% of jasmine hotels only but 76.92% of them have not did it well.

Abstrak: Minimnya ketersediaan air bersih dan keterbatasan sarana untuk mendapatkannya membuat masyarakat Kecamatan Bayan, Kabupaten Lombok Utara (KLU) rentan terhadap krisis air. Secara geografis sebagian besar wilayahnya merupakan pesisir pantai yang kaya akan cahaya matahari, mengingat dalam setahun bulan basah hanya terjadi 3-4 bulan. Air laut dapat menjadi bahan baku air bersih melalui teknologi desalinasi dengan menggunakan sinar matahari sebagai sumber panas. Melalui kegiatan Ipteks bagi masyarakat, alih teknologi pembuatan alat desalinasi berbasis tenaga surya di Kec. Bayan, KLU dilakukan.  Kegiatan meliputi sosialisasi pada beberapa kelompok tani Kec. Bayan tentang prinsip kerja alat yang telah diuji coba di laboratorium kimia Universitas Mataram. Praktik kerja pembuatan alat juga dilakukan agar kelompok tani dapat membuat alat sekaligus dapat menyalurkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kepada anggota masyarakat lainnya. Produk kegiatan diharapkan menjadi salah satu alternatif solusi untuk mengatasi krisis air walaupun masih diperlukan peningkatan produktivitasnya. Kata kunci: desalinasi, air laut, air bersih, tenaga surya. Abstrac: The lack of clean water and limited access to get it made public of Bayan District, North Lombok (KLU) were vulnerable to the water crisis. Geographically, most of KLU is coastal region that rich in sunshine, considering the wet months of the year only occur 3-4 months. Sea water can be the raw material of fresh water through desalination technology using sunlight as source of heat. Through IbM activity, transfer technology by producing and setting desalinator based on solar power in the Bayan district, KLU has been done. The activity included socialization on some farmer groups of Bayan district about basic principle of the desalinator that has been tested in the Chemistry Laboratory at Mataram University.        Practicing on production of desalinator also has conducted, hence they can produce and share their knowledge and skills to other community. Product activity is expected to be an alternative solution to overcome the water crisis despite still needed some refinement for increasing its productivity. Keyword: desalination, seawater, fresh water, solar energy

In terms of geology, most areas in south of the Gunungkidul District in Central Java consist of the Wonosari formation limestone. The land is generally very dry and source of raw water is also difficult to reach. Findings on the existence of underground river in caves, however, indicate the potential amount of water within the area, especially in the eastern part of the Gunungkidul District. Although limited information available, some fishermen have discovered that Seropan cave contains fresh water source. This cave is situated at 65 m below the cliff. Initial exploration, which done using a multichannel resistivity method, confirmed the availability of freshwater in the cave and underground river. The isopach of cave depth is found in ranges of 80 200 m below the ground surface. The water of Seropan cave can be utilized by implementing pipeline or by drilling at the suggested point based on the interpretation results, i.e. 110o2223.6388 EL 8o42.874 SL.

Ponds are an important fresh water critical ecosystem for plants and animals providing goods and services including food, fodder, fish, irrigation, hydrological cycle, shelter, medicine, culture, aesthetic and recreation. Ponds cover less than 2 percent of worlds land surface. Ponds are important source of fresh water for human use. These are threatened by urbanization, industrialization, over exploitation, fragmentation, habitat destruction, pollution, illegal capturing of land and climate changes. These above factors have been destroying ponds very rapidly putting them in danger of extinction of a great number of local biodiversity. It is necessary to formulate a correct conservation strategy for pond restoration in order to meet the growing needs of fresh water by increasing the human population. Some measures have been compiled and proposed in the present review.

Ptychobothridean genera like Senga and Circumoncobothrium are the common parasites of fresh water fishes. The genotypic study of these parasites was taken by RAPD. The RAPD profile of these two parasites were not similar to each other as depicted by the band pattern in picture. These results suggest the presence of inter-specific polymorphism among cestode parasites of two different genera for RAPD analysis. The present study demonstrated that genetic differentiation of cestode parasites could be accomplished on the basis of genomic variation with polymorphic band pattern using RAPD. All the detected bands (PCR product) were polymorphic and band size ranged from 500-5000 bp in length. The RAPD of profiles using GBO-31, GBO-32, GBO-33, GBO-34, GBO-35 and GBO-36. Primers were able to characterize inter-specific polymorphism among the two genus ( Senga and Circumoncobothrium ). Genetic analysis suggests that Senga and Circumoncobothrium show genetic diversity with respect to RAPD patterns using all the six primers used for the present study. The genetic distance between the analyzed genuses ranged from 0.14 to 0.80. The differentiation of the two parasites on the basis of genetic markers could greatly facilitate study on the biology of these parasites.

Present paper deals with study of cestode parasites of genus Circumoncobothrium from fresh water fish Clarius batracus at Savitri river, (Dapoli) for the percentages of infection occurance during summer season,minimum during winter and tolarate during rainy season.The parasite mainly infected the intestine of host and fed on nutrients from digested food. It completed its life cycle in the intestine of host. By camparing different characters of it to identify that the species is new
