Open land degradation due to increasing of settlement area effect to water shortage (i.e. water recharging reduction and run off enhancement). Rain harvesting and vertical drainage approach could be an alternative solution. Additionally, rainwater is a potential water source for dometic water. The social empowerement program aim to increase our partner knowledge and ability on water reseource protection. The program was conducted in Kaliori Village, Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province. Some program were applied such as collecting the data of partner profile, counselling, dissemination of technology, and evaluation. Techology dessimination was conducted in one of member located around Kaliori Landfill. The result showed knowledge improvement of partner about water resource conservation including rain harvesting and vertical drainage approach. However, lack of the equipment performance due to longer dry periode during program. It could affect the partner motivation on approach replication. Partner knowledge improvement on water resource and the techonology (i.e. rain harvesting and vertical dranage approach) was expected to better habit on water resource conservation.

The study examined the adoption of water conservation practices and challenges encountered by smallholder farmers in water resource conservation in Enyibe, Ermelo South Africa. The data were collected using structured questionnaires, observation and focus group discussion. Frequency, mean and logistics regression were used for data analysis. Age (β=1.238), sex (β=-1.497), level of education (β=-1.062), access to irrigation facilities (β=1.690), payment of water tariff (β=1.369) and agricultural extension advice (β=-.631) were significant and associated with adoption of water conservation practice. The identified constraints in the adoption process were inadequate technical guidelines, financial, government policies, and inadequate knowledge of water conservation practices. There is need to improve information, showcase the benefits of water conservation, and ensure maintenance of water conservation infrastructure. Concerted effort must be made to establish robust database on water resource conservation and sources of water utilised in the area. Keywords: Sustainable, water conservation, constraints, adoption

Water Resource Conservation

Many of Indonesia’s watersheds are reaching a critical stage. As a result of higher rates of erosion and sedimentation, the number of critical watersheds in Indonesia has increased from 22 in 1984 to 58 in 2000 and in 2014 this number has reached 108. This result in food security is being threatened because there is insufficient water available for agriculture purposes due to catchment degradation, especially in the upper parts of the watersheds. At the same time, Indonesia’s new government focused its national development programs on food security for the next five years. For these reasons Indonesia’s National Development Planning Agency believes that it is timely to develop a national policy on Integrated Water Conservation Management (IWCM). To provide the rationale and suggested content for such a national policy, this paper has been prepared based onfocused group discussions with relevant interests at the national and regional levels. To obtain specific input from regional stakeholders, workshops were held in Medan, Yogyakarta, Banjarmasin, Nusa Tenggara Barat and Makassar as well as line agencies based in the state capital of Jakarta from October 2014 to March 2015. At the landscape level, the formulation of national policy on IWCM was based on integrated watershed management analysis as water resources within a specific watershed are integrated into other resources within an ecosystem. This action research recommends the following: a) integrating the IWCM into the regular regional development activities, b) encouraging local agreements on water resource conservation including local adat communities, c) formulating attractive economic incentives in implementing IWCM programs, d) using corporate social responsibility and payment for environment services funding to boost water resource conservation program at village level, and e) involving actively women in the IWCM programs. Considering that socio-cultural aspects are also playing an important role in the IWCM, a national-level of institutional arrangement on IWCM will also be proposed. Keywords: IWCM; food security; green and blue water; watershed; institutional arrangement; Indonesia

ABSTRACT Continuous availability of water as a basic requirement for survival and for the purposes of production so need to be maintained. The availability of water resources is strongly influenced by environmental and natural resource management is done by humans. Water resource conservation efforts through the increased role of the parties is expected sustainability of water can be maintained. The research objective is to formulate a model of conservation of water resources and efforts needed for water sustainability can be maintained. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews, and then analyzed descriptively by using a technique AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). The results of the analysis with AHP technique showed that the main priority of the alternative strategy of water resources conservation activities is to preserve water (38.70%). The effort to preserve water is technically civilian conservation, forest and land rehabilitation (RHL), control the use of water, maintenance of water resources and coaching/mentoring for communitie.
