An Approach to Sustainable Watershed Management

Western Maharashtra consists of drought prone villages, which around seventy years ago were facing drastic challenges regarding water requirements. People living in such areas started to migrate from these villages in need of food and water. The chapter focuses on few case studies of drought prone areas of Western Maharashtra which made a move towards sustainability and has created an excellent model of watershed projects. Several practices like ban on cutting trees, terrace farming, contour bunding, drip irrigation, sprinkle irrigation, introduction of cooking stoves, rotational grazing, efficient water distribution and change in cultivation of agricultural crops according to the climate were followed which led the village to become a model for Aadarsh Gaon (An Ideal Village). The author has used secondary data from previous research work and critically analyses the case studies on water management in drought prone areas of Western Maharashtra which managed to become a model for sustainable use of water.

Smart Water

Water resources management requires the integration of many complex physical processes, as well as the interaction of many stakeholders, to ensure the sustainable use of surface and groundwater resources. Water problems to which water authorities have to face are water deficit to supply a wide and increasing demand, floods, water pollution, leaks in water distribution infrastructures, and optimization in the energy use and production. A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the availability of water resources in terms of quantity and quality, and of water demand in their variability in space and time, is indispensable. In this context, SAID (SmArt water management with Integrated Decision support systems) project addresses the development, implementation, validation and integration of the most innovative DSSs as the basis for smart water management systems in complex basins. This paper focuses on the methodology carried out to integrate multipurpose aspects involved in the management of water resources in Guadalhorce River Basin (southern Spain), as a demonstrator area. As a support in the decision making process to dam managers, the resulting integrated DSS allows to execute predictive simulations to anticipate the watershed response, considering two types of scenarios (flood and ordinary), driven by different optimization criteria.

ABSTRAK Berlebihnya ketersediaan air irigasi yang disebabkan oleh debit air yang melimpahpada saat musim hujan dan sifatnya tidak merata, dimana pada bagian hulu ketersediaan air cenderung berlebih dan di hilir cenderung kekurangan. Dengan adanya kondisi seperti itu maka perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai kelebihan air irigasi pada saat musim hujan agar dapat dilakukan pengelolaan air secara proporsional pada (DAS) Ho. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui persentase kelebihan air irigasi yang ada pada setiap subak dan menentukan teknik pengelolaan air irigasi agar proporsional pada setiap bagian subak. Perolehan data primer dilakukan dengan metode wawancara, pengamatan, dan pengukuran sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari (BMKG) Wilayah III Denpasar. Data yang diperoleh selanjutnya dianalisis dengan CROPWAT 8.0 untuk mencari persentase kelebihan air irigasi yang terjadi pada saat musim hujan dan untuk menentukan proposi distribusi air irigasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan persentase kelebihan air irigasi pada subak (DAS) Ho saat musim hujan rata-rata pada daerah hulu 207,31%, tengah 417,78%, hilir 239,05%. Teknik pengelolaan distribusi air pada hulu, tengah, hilir saat musim hujan agar kelebihan bersifat proporsional yaitu dengan cara mengubah debit awal sesuai dengan debit rekayasa. ABSTRACT The excess of water availability is caused by excessive water discharge during the rainy season, and it doesn’t distribute evenly between upstream and downstream, where upstream water availability tends to be oversupply and downstream is deficient. With such conditions, research is needed on excess irrigation water during the rainy season in order to perform an optimal water management in Ho Watershed. Research was conducted to determine the percentage of excess irrigation water available in each subak and determine irrigation water management techniques to be proportionate to each subak section. The acquisition of primary data is done by interview, observation, and measurement methods, while secondary data is obtained from (BMKG) Region III Denpasar. The data obtained was further analyzed with CROPWAT 8.0 to find the percentage of excess irrigation water that occurs during the rainy season and to determine the distribution portion of irrigation water. The results showed the percentage of excess irrigation water in the Ho watershed during the rainy season averaged 207,31%, middle 417,78%, downstream 239,05%. Water distribution management techniques in the upstream, middle, downstream during the rainy season so that the excess is proportional by changing the initial discharge in accordance with the approximation discharge.

Time Series Analyses

Background: Time series is a sequence of measurements made at regular time intervals. Tremendous work has been done on pipe break investigation and maintenance, using different models. However, the authors have not found any research work on pipe failures in water distribution networks using time series. Objective: The principal objective of this paper was to investigate the applications of time series analysis in modeling man-made (pipe breaks) and natural (rainfall) environmental systems. Methods: This objective was satisfied by employing the Time-Domain (Box-Jenkins) approach to assess two case studies in Kuwait of a water distribution network (pipe failures), and from rainfall rates measurement of a solid waste disposal site, respectively. The statistical analysis of these data was conducted with the aid of the BMDP and SAS computer software packages and by the use of the P2T programming procedure for the Box-Jenkins method. Results: The results showed a significant correlation between the data and the time series models provides good estimates of pipe reliability and rainfall measurements. Conclusion: Based on the significant results, time series analyses could and should be useful by water authorities in planning pipe maintenance and inspection. Moreover, it is recommended and it would be very useful to conduct similar studies on pipes carrying other fluids such as gas, air and oil.

This paper describes a research finding on the dynamics of water management in decentralization era using a case study in Tajuk Village, Semarang Regency. The case study shows the change of water management system in the village. Water-based conflict was often happened due to inequity of water distribution to the community. Water management changes when Pamsimas (Program Penyediaan Air Minum dan Sanitasi Berbasis Masyarakat) program enters the village, a program established by central government in cooperation with local government as an implementation of decentralization. In the beginning, the program invites pro and con among villagers. The pro side argues that the program can solve community’s problem on the inequity of water distribution, while the conside argues that the public should not pay to water which is their own asset. Finally, the program was implemented when all community members were convinced that they themselves who will manage and decide the price of water in the village.Kata kunci: pengelolaan sumber daya air, konflik, desentralisasi, Pamsimas

The people of Landau Garong village have a direct relationship with plants in their traditional use (ethnobotany), especially bamboo. Bamboo in the village is very abundant so that many people use it in various needs according to their skills. The purpose of this study was to record and document the types used and find out patterns of utilization of bamboo by the community around the village forest Landau Garong Melawi district. The benefit of this research is to inform the community outside the Landau Garong village about the types of bamboo and their sustainable use patterns by the community around the Landau Garong village forest. This study uses a survey method with data collection techniques using the PRA method. Data obtained through observation and interviews. Data collected in the form of primary data and secondary data. Based on the results in the field, I obtained 6 types of bamboo, namely Gigantochloa hasskarliana, Bambusa vulgaris var.vulgaris, Schizostachyum brachycladum, Schizostachyum flexuosum, Gigantochloa balui dan Gigantochloa levis. There are 6 types of use of bamboo by the community, namely as building materials, craft materials (household crafts and fish trap crafts), food ingredients, traditional ritual materials, agricultural equipment materials, and traditional game materials.
