DEPOK, West Java (ANTARA) – A joint team of Indonesian and Australian researchers has designed a tool to assess the resilience of drinking water supply and community sanitation facilities under climate change, locally called “PAMSIMAS”.
The researchers are from the University of Indonesia (UI), Universiti Gadjah Mada (UGM), the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and the Centre for Regulatory Policy and Governance (CRPG).
UI researchers Cindy Rianti Priadi and Sucipta Laksono were involved in research projects that contributed to the creation of PAMSIMAS.
Speaking in Depok, West Java, on Monday, Laksono said human life has already begun to be affected by the real impacts of climate change. Therefore, concrete actions are needed to cope with the impacts.
In this regard, he stressed the need to take measures to ensure water supply to reservoirs, material adjustments, pipelines and pumps.
In a recent presentation on PAMSIMAS, he said researchers have also designed a monitoring device called the Rural Water Supply Climate Resilience Monitoring Tool (RWS-CRMT).
Laksono revealed that the RWS-CRMT, developed between September 2023 and May 2024, can assess the resilience of rural water supply to climate change.
The monitoring device has been tested by 100 Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Management Teams (KPSPAMS) in 14 provinces of Indonesia.
He said the provinces include Central Java, Gorontalo, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, West Sumatra, Yogyakarta, West Java, Riau, Lampung, West Kalimantan, East Nusa Tenggara, South Sumatra, South Kalimantan and East Kalimantan.
He added that in order to be climate resilient and achieve economic transformation, Indonesia must have a productive and healthy population.
in this regard, Laksono believes that clean water supply is undoubtedly important for Indonesia.
Due to the importance of water sustainability to human life, Indonesia recently hosted the 10th World Water Forum in Bali with the theme “Water for Shared Prosperity”.
WWF participants discussed key issues such as water for people and nature, water security and prosperity, disaster risk reduction and mitigation, governance cooperation and water diplomacy, sustainable water financing, and knowledge and innovation.
