Abstract

Indonesia's Water Resources and Challenges

Indonesia has an abundance of water resources, including rivers, lakes, and groundwater, but it also faces challenges such as population growth, agricultural expansion, climate change, and pollution, which threaten water quality and quantity.

CONCLUSION

Indonesia has made remarkable progress in water resources management but still faces challenges in ensuring sustainable and equitable access to water resources, providing sanitation facilities to all, and adapting to climate change impacts.

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Strengthen institutional capacity and accountability
  • Improve financing mechanisms and water pricing policies
  • Enhance public awareness and participation in water management
  • Promote innovation and technology transfer for water management
