During 1980-1997, the management of water resources was done with a supply-driven approach.  This approach results in the expensive maintenance of water resources and the disregarded resources utilization of environmental sustainability.  Since 1998, The Government of Indonesia began to reform institutional irrigation with the financing supported by the World Bank. However, the institutional reforms of the irrigation have not yet reflected the exact changes as expected. Therefore, it is necessary to study the process of strengthening the institutional management of irrigation based on the local wisdom through the inventory of history series of irrigation management policy and empowerment of capacity building and institutional program of irrigation management. This paper presents an effort to develop the institutional irrigation management by exploring the local wisdom in the community. It can be used as a guide for future sustainable management of irrigation. Keywords: agriculture, Subak, Ulu-ulu, water resources, farmers’ unionJEL Classification: B30, Q15, Q25

Pengelolaan irigasi adalah salah satu faktor pendukung utama bagi keberhasilan pembangunan pertanian terutama dalam rangka peningkatan serta perluasan tujuan pembangunan pertanian dari program swasembada beras menjadi swasembada pangan. Pemerintah telah mencanangkan pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi, petani pemakai air sesuai dengan hakekat  pembangunan dari, oleh dan untuk masyarakat agar pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi tersebut dapat mencapai sasaran tepat guna. Adanya pergeseran nilai air, dari sumberdaya milik bersama (public goods) yang melimpah dan dapat dikonsumsi tanpa biaya, menjadi sumberdaya ekonomi (economic goods) yang mempunyai fungsi sosial; terjadinya kerawanan ketersediaan air secara nasional; adanya persaingan pemanfaatan air antara irigasi dengan penggunaan oleh sektor-sektor lain; dan konversi lahan beririgasi untuk kepentingan lainnya, memerlukan adanya kebijakan. Kebijakan pengelolaan irigasi yang efektif, sehingga keberlanjutan sistem irigasi dan hak-hak atas air bagi semua pengguna dapat terjamin. Mengingat irigasi tidak terlepas dari pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan, maka reformasi kebijakan dalam bidang keirigasian harus dilaksanakan secara simultan dan konsisten dengan reformasi pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan. Kata Kunci : isu, pembaharuan, irigasiIrrigation management is one of the main supporting factors for the success of agricultural development, especially in the context of increasing and expanding agricultural development goals from rice self-sufficiency to food self-sufficiency. that the Government has set out the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies, water user farmers in accordance with the nature of the development of, by and for the community that the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies can achieve effective targets. There is a shift in the value of water, from abundant public goods resources that can be consumed without cost, to economic resources that have social functions; the occurrence of national water availability insecurity; competition over water use between irrigation and use by other sectors; and conversion of irrigated land for other purposes, requires an effective irrigation management policy, so that the sustainability of the irrigation sistem and the rights to water for all users can be guaranteed. Since irrigation is inseparable from the overall management of water resources, policy reforms in the field of irrigation must be carried out simultaneously and consistently with reforms in the management of water resources as a whole. Keywords: issues, renewal, irrigation

Oriental philosophers have given top priority to food for orderly state affairs as well as personal wellbeing. In past, Nepal had a strong agricultural economy based on indigenous Farmer Managed Irrigation System (FMIS). State policy helped promote these systems. But contemporary Nepal opted for state control on irrigation water by building large scale public irrigation systems. In the last 43 years of planned development (1957-2002), the government has spent 70% of US$1.3 billion on these systems, covering 30% of the irrigated area in the country; the remaining 70% is with the FMIS. Despite the investment, these systems neither promoted themselves as an enterprise nor helped enhance agricultural productivity leading to social insecurity. This social insecurity is reflected in the country's increasing import of food, mass workforce exodus for employment abroad, and added socio-economic vulnerability due to climate change.Donor and government recommendations centered on (i) expansion of irrigated area, (ii) irrigation management transfer, and (iii) agriculture extension seem to have failed in Nepal. These failures asked for alternative institutional development solutions, whereas public irrigation systems are (i) localized to establish system's operational autonomy with ownership and governance, (ii) treated as a rich resource-base with water, land and labor, and (iii) recognized as cooperative enterprise of local stakeholders by law with authorities to enter into joint actions with relevant partners for promoting commercialization and environmental quality of irrigated agriculture.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hn.v11i1.7223 Hydro Nepal Special Issue: Conference Proceedings 2012 pp.95-99

ABSTRACT Before the mid 1980s the World Bank conceived "nature" as something to be "conquered" and "environment" as a source of resources for "development". By the late 1980s the Bank incorporated norms of environmental sustainability and indigenous peoples' protection into its mandate, and other development-oriented IOs followed. This two-part paper describes how a fight over the Polonoroeste road project in the Brazilian Amazon - inside the Bank, between the Bank and NGOs supported by the US Congress, and between the Bank and the government of Brazil -helped to generate the far-reaching change of policy norms. The first part describes how the project was designed as an innovation in sustainable development in rainforests; and how it provoked a firestorm inside the Bank as it moved towards project approval.

This article discusses the evolution of water resources management and policies since the early 1990s. Changes are due, in particular, to two international conferences both held in 1992 (Rio and Dublin), which laid the groundwork for an integrated approach to water management. Reformers concentrated on creating a coherent policy that would take into account environmental concerns. This paper focuses on the World Bank as one of the most important actors in the formulation and financing of water policies. Indeed, the World Bank has developed, as a result of these conferences, a new policy that regroups different water projects into one single concept: water resources management. It turns out, however, that water resources management in essence just means water privatization.

In Algeria, the issue of water management is of great importance and represent a major contest in the context of a chronic shortage of rainfall from global warming. The catastrophic situation of water resources in Algeria during the years 2000 and 2001 was mainly due to drought that has prompted the government to give priority to this vital field. After a diagnosis of the situation of water resources, Algeria has adopted effective institutional, legal and technical arrangements for the sound management of water resources in order to overcome the inconsistencies that have profoundly influenced during antecedent decades. However, the expected results are not yet satisfactory and the state water resources remains negative. In this context, it is necessary to adopt new practices and efficient ways of management "sustainable" our water heritage in the context of a policy of good governance of water resources must go through a dialogue between the different actors and integrated management of all economic and all planning activities.

This article highlights the dynamics of geothermal energy in the Kamojang nature reserve in Indonesia. A nature reserve is a conservation area that must be protected and preserved, because it has unique flora and fauna, and rare ecosystems whose existence is threatened with extinction. After going through a long study process by an integrated team, the government finally made a policy to change the function of the nature reserve into a Nature Tourism Park. Changes in policy changes to the function of nature reserves cause pros and cons in the community, and cause conflicts between government and environmental activists. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into natural tourism parks in the Kamojang conservation area of Indonesia, as well as to identify appropriate communication models in the management of geothermal energy through communication and environmentally sustainable approaches. Research findings show that the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into tourist parks include; the interests of geothermal energy to meet national energy needs and electricity infrastructure, accommodate the needs of surrounding communities that utilize water resources in conservation areas, and restore ecosystems. The communication model for geothermal energy management that we propose at the same time is also a novelty namely; ecopopulism approach, negotiation approach, collaboration, and equating meaning and orientation to environmental sustainability. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Geothermal Energy, Nature Reserves, Conservation Policies, Communication Models and Sustainable Development.
