Evaluation of Artificial Reservoir Management in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region

The Indonesian government has promoted reservoir (embung) development programs throughout Indonesia. This program is primarily designed at supporting agricultural irrigation, especially in the dry season. However, in its implementation, there are often many obstacles both in technical and management, causing the main purpose of the reservoir construction cannot be achieved optimally. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the condition of the reservoir located in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region, in terms of physical, institutional, and management constraints. The study was conducted through a direct survey of 9 reservoirs and interviews with managers and residents around the reservoir. The results showed that two reservoirs have small damage in the reservoir building, three reservoirs do not yet have managers, and three reservoirs have not functioned following the purpose of reservoirs development. The obstacle often found in managing reservoirs is the unclear structure for the management of the reservoir, and the existing management is not effectively working. Therefore, the regulation of using reservoir water is not available. It is necessary to have a management organization involving the community and village government where the reservoir is located and also community beneficiaries of agricultural irrigation to guarantee its function and sustainability.

The Development Plan of Sibisa Lake Toba Tourism Area as The National Strategic Area for Tourism by performing a land conversion on protected forests and communal lands had stirred up a problem dilemma regarding the resistance from indigenous people around Toba Lake. It is crucial to be questioned, whether the conversion policy of protected forests and communal lands by the Indonesian Government to develop Sibisa Danau Toba Tourism Area is in accordance with related laws and regulations? As the answer, it can be concluded that the mentioned policy opposes: Article 18b of the 1945 Constitution; Article 15 of the Law of 2009 Number 32 on Environmental Protection and Management; Presidential Regulation Number 81 of 2014 on The Spatial Planning of Lake Toba Area; The Law of 1999 Number 39 on Human Rights; The Law of 2016 Number 6 on Village Government, and lastly, the United Nation Declaration on Human Rights of Indigenous People (UNDHRIP).

Purpose This study aims to examine the determinants of accountability and transparency of Indonesian village government(s), namely, the competence and organisational commitment of village government staff, and the consequences of accountability and transparency for village community trust. Design/methodology/approach This research was conducted in village governments in the province of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, covering four regencies: Sleman, Bantul, Kulon Progo and Gunung Kidul. A total of 128 village governments participated in this research. Data were collected by distributing a questionnaire survey, and a partial least squares technique was used to test the research hypotheses. Findings The study revealed that village government staff's competence and organisational commitment are positively associated with accountability. However, organisational commitment and accountability are not associated with transparency. In addition, it was discovered that transparency is positively associated with village community trust but accountability is not. Originality By testing the determinants and consequences of accountability and transparency following the ratification of the new village law regulating village government governance, this study is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, pioneering research.

Drilling cost is one of the most critical aspects in the reservoir management plan. Costs may exceed a million dollars; thus, optimal designing of the well trajectory in the reservoir and completion are essential. The implementation of a multilateral well (MLW) in reservoir management has great potential to optimize oil production. The object of this study is to develop an integrated workflow of end-point multilateral well placement optimization integrated with the reservoir simulator supported by artificial intelligence (AI) methods. The paper covers various types of MLW construction, including: horizontal, bi-, tri-, and quad-lateral wells. For quad-lateral wells, the capital expenditure is highest; nevertheless, acceleration of oil production affects the project’s NPV (net present value), indicating the type of well that is most promising to implement in the reservoir. Tri- and quad-lateral wells can operate for 12.1 and 9.8 years with a constant production rate. The decreasing hydrocarbon production rate is affected by reservoir pressure and the reservoir water production rate. Other well design patterns can accelerate water production. The well’s optimal trajectory was evaluated by the genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The major difference between the GA and PSO optimization runs is visible with respect to water production and is related to the modification of one well branch trajectory in a reservoir. The proposed methodology has the advantage of easy implementation in a closed-loop optimization system coupled with numerical reservoir simulation. The paper covers the solution background, an implementation example, and the model limitations.

Qualitative descriptive research method. Data obtained through interviews, literature study, and observation. The data analysis stage uses the Miles and Huberman method, namely data collection, data presentation, data verification, and concluding. Based on the research results, village assistants' capability in its implementation has not optimally because there are still many priority programs that people should expect but have not implemented. Activities carried out by village assistants in terms of development implementation, development supervision, and village administration training carried out by village assistants in Lalonaha Village, Wolo District have been able to run well, it is just that the obstacles faced regarding the quality of work by village assistants have not been able to carry out proper coordination fully. Both between the Lalonaha Village Government and the village community. In the implementation stage of village facilitator activities to help village government activities have not been able to run well, this is because in every development activity and supervision of development programs carried out more by the village apparatus themselves. The independence of village assistants in improving community empowerment in the village Lalonaha has not gone well because the village government itself carries out almost all the implementation of village assistance activities.

The Village

Villages have an important and strategic role in creating prosperous independent villages within the territory of Indonesia. The village is a legal community unit that has regional boundaries that are authorized to regulate and manage local community interests based on local origins and customs that are recognized and respected in the Indonesian Government system. This means that the village becomes a pillar of Indonesia in realizing national goals. The achievement of prosperous independent villages is realized by empowering BUMDes. Andragogy theory has become more appropriate in assisting BUMDes to be efﬁcient in optimizing assets, potential, and participation while also being able to increase community participation in developing villages in the context of regional autonomy. The formation of the Village Regulations (Perdes) in the empowerment of BUMDes has become an urgent basic management of the village government. The results showed that BUMDes became an efﬁcient alternative to improve the welfare of rural communities.

Reservoir water for drinking water production may undergo major short-term and long-term quality changes. These are results of natural processes in the water body and of the water's quality entering and leaving the reservoir. Long term quality changes are due to management of catchment areas, but also to a considerable extent by external impacts like climate change. Short term quality changes are impacted by extreme events like rain storms after drought periods, which might also be a result of climate change. Furthermore, short- and mid-term quality changes are impacted by reservoir management, which also influences the ecological state of rivers downstream the reservoir. The purpose of our work is to develop a decision support tool for reservoir management which takes into account short-, mid- and long-term factors for water quality change. With the tool it is intended to simulate not only water quality, but also management impact on flood risk prevention and drinking water quality (treatment efficiency and costs) and to assist decision making for reservoir management.

The aim of operation reservoir during flood is to prevent overflow that endangers the dams. It is also to prevent flooding in the downstream of the dam, which leads to loss of life and property. This aim can be achieved with optimal reservoir management which is influenced by the reservoir’s condition during flooding such as: rain, reservoir storage, inflow, water level, and discharge of reservoir water released to the downstream. The successfully of the reservoir management depends on the accuracy of the estimated a). water level (due to the inflow of the reservoir) and b). outflow from the reservoir. One of the models which can be used to predict the water level and reservoir water released during flooding is the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANN can simulates flood events that are similar in fact to the previous occurence In this study a backpropagation ANN model was applied to the Wonogiri Reservoir in Central Java, Indonesia. The optimal ANN architecture produced in this study are the Input Pattern of 5-3-4 (which has a rain input recorded 1 – 5 hours earlier, a water level input recorded 1 – 3 hours earlier and a release input recorded 1 – 4 hours earlier). 27 pieces hidden layer, total epoch which is 200 and the learning rate of 0.01. The output is predicting the water level, the Outflow and Gate Opening of Reservoir. The current flood data was applied to the above model and it was concluded that the network can follow the flood management pattern adequately. In addition, the network is extra flexible with a lower flood discharge rate; and has the final elevation of the reservoir slightly lower than the normal operation.
