The article examines the effectiveness of GIS-technologies in Kazakhstan for determining and clarifying hydrographic characteristics (e.g. catchment area, river length, location, lakes and reservoirs), the analysis of hydrological processes and phenomena, as well as the creation of a cartographic and attributive database of water bodies. Yesil River, the main waterway of the central and northern part of Kazakhstan, is one of the least hydro- logically studied catchments in the region. To address this research and information gap data was obtained from remote sensing and runoff depth based on the Kazhydromet network for the period 1945 to 2016. A topographic and river network map (1:1,000,000) of the Yesil River basin, including locations of gauging stations as well as depth and runoff coefficient maps were created using ArcGIS software. These maps provide a very useful tool for water resource management and economic policy decision making.

Water policy-making requires the dedicated involvement of all stakeholders, but difficulties remain for the community sector. This study aims to examine the critical challenges of community involvement in water policy decision-making in Thailand. Both qualitative and quantitative methods used in this research project consisted of 39 interviews with informants from a variety of interested parties and 403 community members from around the East Coast River Basin in Thailand completing a survey questionnaire. The results have shown that although mechanisms to enable community involvement in decision-making, such as public consultation and water-related committees, exist, problems remain within the community sector. The critical challenges lie in the opportunities of being consulted and the sharing of power in water policy-making. Although the networks are important, at the same time, they are also obstructing the community sectors in linking their requirements to a final decision, as well as dealing with politics, policy-makers, and staff who organized the process. Therefore, the government should further develop water committee mechanisms by setting up a comprehensive yet practically easy consultation process so that new or inexperienced community members get an opportunity to practice and learn the vital elements necessary in water policy-making. Further research should be conducted in order to compare the opportunities in water decision-making between communities in rural and urban areas. Studies at the local government level should be carried out, with results used as a mechanism to enable community involvement at higher levels of water policy decision-making.

Para avaliar a disponibilidade de água e definir as áreas de inundação nas bacias hidrográficas, é necessário considerar a vazão mínima, média e máxima, denominadas de vazões de referência, e isto requer dados observados de vazão, que são bem escassos em bacias brasileiras, principalmente as pequenas e médias bacias. Para superar esta falta, utiliza-se dados de bacias contribuintes com comportamento hidrológico similar, que são transferidos por meio de operações matemáticas, utilizando variáveis físicas e climáticas. Tais procedimentos, geralmente, são mal avaliados quanto à sua precisão. Assim, objetivou avaliar a acurácia da estimação de cinco vazões de referência em quatro estações de medição dos dois principais afluentes do rio Japaratuba (Sergipe, Brasil), os rios Japaratuba-Mirim e Siriri. Os resultados mostraram diferentes comportamentos para as duas sub-bacia, quer seja pelas variáveis influentes, quer seja pelos efeitos antrópicos como a mudança no uso do solo que precisam ser melhor avaliados. Para a bacia do rio Japaratuba-Mirim a transferência de vazões mínimas e médias deve ser realizada considerando-se o produto área x precipitação média anual e para as vazões máximas deve-se considerar o comprimento do rio até a seção. Para a bacia do Siriri, os melhores resultados de transferência de vazões médias e máximas foram obtidos com o produto "área x precipitação média anual” e a variável "precipitação média anual" gerou um erro menor para as vazões mínimas. Assessing the reference flow transfer methodologies in watersheds: their application at Japaratuba River Basin – Sergipe State – BrazilA B S T R A C TIn order to evaluate the water availability and define the flood areas in the river basins, it is necessary to consider minimum, medium and maximum discharge, called reference flows requiring records on flow data, quite scarce in Brazilian river basin, mainly those of small and medium scale. To overcome this gap, data from nearby basins with similar hydrological behavior are used, based on mathematical operations involving physical and climatic variables of the contributing basins. However, these procedures are poorly evaluated for their accuracy. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the estimation of five reference flows through the transfer of information, using physical and climatic variables in four gage stations of the main tributaries of the Japaratuba river basin (Japaratuba-Mirim and Siriri river) - Sergipe State, Brazil. The results showed different behaviors for the two sub-basins as for either by influential variables or by anthropic effects such as land use and land cover changes that need to be better evaluated. The flow transfer to the subbasin of the Japaratuba-Mirim river should be performed considering the product "Area x Mean annual rainfall" for minimum and medium flows. For maximum flows the "Length" of the basin should be considered. For the Siriri river basin, the "Mean annual rainfall" variable generated a smaller error in the minimum flows and the product "Area x Mean annual rainfall” led to better results for medium and maximum flows.Keywords: Water resource management; statistical hydrology; geographic information systems.

This article aims to analyze the selective policy adopted by Indonesian immigration towards foreigners from calling visa countries. Through a qualitative research method with a descriptive analysis approach and the framework of concept of foreign policy decision making and national interests, it can be explained how the implementation of Indonesian immigration selective policy and the determination of vulnerable countries so they can be categorized in to calling visa countries. The author also seeks to provide an analysis of the anomalies in determining countries that are categorized as calling visa countries. The application of selective policy applied by the Indonesian government through the issuance of visiting permits, supervision, and immigration administrative actions against any foreigner. It is implemented more stringently and through a multi-layered process towards foreigners from calling visa countries.

<p>Some areas in the city of Bandung is an area that dilitasi by the flow of the river, to prevent the introduction of garbage into the river basin is necessary to note the waste management systems in residential areas along the river. Cidurian river has a length of 24.86 Km along the river flow. Consists of the city of Bandung and Bandung regency. Administrative regions Cidurian River past eight (8) districts, from the region in the District Kiaracondong precisely Village Babakan Babakan Sari and Surabaya populous and the most densely populated. Thus, there should be community-based waste management in the form of a reduction in resources to prevent potential entry of waste into the river basin. Planning waste reduction will be divided into two, namely the reduction of inorganic waste with waste bank then the reduction of organic waste with absorption holes biopori, and bio reactor mini determination of the reduction is determined by the results of the analysis of the sampling covers the composition and garbage, then the result of the measurement characteristics test and analysis results questionnaire.</p>
