The paper deals with the spread of forest fires and measures to combat them in the course of implementing the policy of preserving the forests of the Volga region in the years of the pre-war five-year plans. The paper is written mainly on the basis of archival materials of the Russian State Archive of Economics, the Central State Archive of the Samara Region, and the State Archive of the Ulyanovsk Region, which were first introduced into historical circulation. In the 1930s, large-scale logging was carried out in the Kuibyshev Region in violation of the rules of forestry. One of the problems of forest exploitation was the growth of forest fires, which caused significant economic and environmental damage. The forest industry trust Sredles and the Srednevolzhsky Forestry Trust could not significantly change the situation with the fire protection of forests for the better. The most unfavorable years for the forests of the Middle Volga region and the Kuibyshev Region were 1933 and 1938. After the creation of the Srednevolzhsky (Kuibyshev) Forest Protection Department, the effectiveness of fire-fighting measures increased. Fire fighting was carried out by the most modern means at that time. As a result, the annual number of fires decreased. But it was not possible to completely solve the problem of fires in the forests of the Middle Volga during the third five-year plan.

DAS Maluka seluas 89.506,19 Ha terdapat sub DAS Banyu Irang dan sub DAS Bati Bati serta secara administrasi tersebar di 3 kabupaten/kota yaitu Kabupaten Tanah Laut, Kabupaten Banjar dan Kota Banjarbaru Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan. DAS Maluka didominasi kekritisan lahan agak kritis 63%, kelerengan lereng didominasi tingkat kelerengan 0-8% 79,88%, tutupan lahan didominasi tutupan lahan perkebunan 17,91%, Kerusakan lingkungan di DAS Maluka telah menjadi keprihatinan banyak pihak, hal ini ditandai dengan meningkatnya bencana alam yang dirasakan, seperti bencana banjir, tanah longsor dan kekeringan yang semakin meningkat. Rendahnya kapasitas infiltrasi sebaliknya tingginya Surface run off  penyebab utama terjadinya bencana alam yang terkait dengan tata air. Penelitian ini menggunakan model Horton yang bertujuan mengetahui infiltrasi terhadap berbagai kelas umur tegakan karet (Hevea brasiliensis). Metode penelitian menggunakan doubel ring infiltrometer pada kelas umur 4 tahun, 8 tahun dan 12 tahun. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa:1) Kapasitas infiltrasi 96,906 mm/jam, 103,981 mm/jam dan 104,651 mm/jam; 2) volume infiltrasi sebesar 93,432 m3,  95,945 m3, 591 m3; 3) semakin tinggi kelas umur tegakan karet semakin tinggi laju, kapasitas dan volume infitrasi. Kata kunci : infiltrasi, surface run off , vegetasi tegakan karet.  The Maluka watershed covers an area of 89,506.19 Ha, there are the Banyu Irang sub-watershed and the Bati Bati sub-watershed and are administratively spread across 3 regencies / cities, namely Tanah Laut Regency, Banjar Regency and Banjarbaru City South Kalimantan Province. The Maluka watershed is dominated by criticality of the rather critical land 63%, the slope is dominated by the slope level of 0-8% 79.88%, land cover is dominated by plantation land cover 17.91%, environmental damage in the Maluka watershed has become a concern of many parties, this is indicated by increasing perceived natural disasters, such as floods, landslides and increasing drought. The low infiltration capacity, on the other hand, is the high Surface run off, the main cause of natural disasters related to water management. This study uses the Horton model that aims to determine infiltration of various age groups of rubber stands (Hevea brasiliensis). The research method uses a doubel ring infiltrometer in the age class of 4 years, 8 years and 12 years. The results showed that: 1) Infiltration capacity of 96,906 mm / hour, 103,981 mm / hour and 104,651 mm/ hour; 2) infiltration volume of 93,432 m3, 95,945 m3, 591 m3; 3) the higher the age of rubber stand age, the higher the rate, capacity and volume of inflation. Keywords: infiltration, surface run off and rubber stand vegetation.

Surface run-off from developed urban territories, be it orderly disposed surface run-off or diffused surface run-off, is among the main sources of man-made pollution and degradation of urban water bodies lo-cated within the boundaries of Moscow. In the present-day context, the improvement of their ecological condition is possible only in case of im-plementation of measures aimed at the reduction of human-induced impact on water bodies, elimination of accumulated environmental damage, re-covery of their self-purification ability and groundwater protection against pollution. The authors give the results of the seasonal monitoring of sur-face run-off composition and the composition of sludge produced by the treatment facilities located on urban territories of different functional pur-pose. The studies proved the idea that the application of polymeric floccu-lants intensifies the process of dewatering the sludge produced by treat-ment facilities in different seasons. The criteria characterizing the main ef-ficiency indices for the selection of technological approaches and equip-ment, were developed based on generalized and summarized experience in seasonal observations and evaluation of process and hydraulic parameters of the operation of surface run-off treatment facilities.

Induztrialization edge and economic growth bring some consequences to the society, such as pollution or environmental damage. The responsibility is not only lies in business sector but also contributed by society and public sector-government institution as their daily operational produce some waste material. One ofmaterial use in such organization daily activities is paper. Unproper use of paper will impact on cost inefficiency, as well as environmental damage due to the main material of producing paper taken from forest.Government as public service organization mostly deals with paper in their daily administrative business. While the othersites it also encouraged to put priority on budget efficiency included in paper consumption. This study aims to describe in what extend government efficiency initiative align in it environmental concerned. Specifically this study will explore the use of paper as one of most daily resource in government office using environmental management accounting (EMA)framework. The results convey that notion on some regulation pertaining with budget efficiency in Indonesia has similarity with the spirit and the benefit provided in term of EMA application. By implementing EMA properly, government may get information on cost efficiency along with environmental sustainability.
