Saguling Reservoir Operation at Citarum River Basin in West Java – Indonesia: Opportunities and Challenges

Saguling reservoir is one of three large multi-purpose cascade reservoirs constructed along the Citarum river basin. These reservoirs and its river basin play important roles to provide water needs for agriculture irrigation, domestic, hydropower plant and industrial activities in West Java and DKI Jakarta Provinces. Several environmental problems have increased in the last two decades in this region related to flood, soil erosion, land use change, water pollution, and fluctuations of water supply. Similar conditions werw experienced in Saguling reservoir in terms of environmental degradation consisting of sedimentation and water pollution.

Flood Risk Assesment with High Spatial Resolution for Flood Disaster Mitigation with Climate Change Scenario

 One of the important component in flood disaster risk reduction is the availability of spatial information on flood risk that include: flood discharge (q), flood depth (h), flood extent (A), flood duration (t), and the lost value due to flood which could be quantified in the form of damage costs (Q). Change in the value of risk f(h, A, t, Q) was hypothesized to be sensitive to climate change and other environmental factors that exist at a river basin area.

 Food security is the availability of food and the ability of a person or group to access it. Food obtained and processed, comes from natural sources such as forests, lakes, oceans, air, and etc. Food is also obtained from sources made by humans, such as agricultural land, plantations, livestock, artificial lakes or pond, and etc. Sources of food availability need to be managed and cared for in order to maintain its sustainability.
