1. INTRODUCTION
Geologically, the Jeneberang river basin is composed of (a) Camba Formation (CF) in
Miocene, (b) Baturape-Cindako Volcanic in Pliocene, (c) Lompobatang volcanic rocks in
Pleistocene and Quaternary overburden from lower stratigraphy. The CF is composed of
volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks. The former is composed of volcanic breccias, lava,
conglomerate, tuff and the latter is composed of marine sedimentary rocks, taffacious
sandstone, clay stone, partly including volcanic rocks, and the CF is intruded by many basalt
dykes. The CF is widely distributed in the west side of the study area and fresh rock is hard.
Baturape-Cindako Volcanic is an extrusive rock from old volcanoes which were active in
Pliocene is mainly composed of basaltic volcanic rocks and basalt distribute in north east
side and south west side. Lompobatang volcanic rocks is an extrusive rock from new
volcanoes which were active in Pleistocene is composed of volcanic rocks, eruptive center
rocks, pyroclastic rocks, parasitic eruptive products are distributed in overall area of Mt.
Bawakaraeng caldera. Lava part is hard but pyroclastic rock is rather weak in concreteness.
Conservation development and forestation in upstream is very useful for Jeneberang
catchment area which located in Gowa regency for a conservation area and a water
catchment area. Most of the agricultural lands in the area have been converted into
horticultural lands have negative impacts on environmental carrying capacity which leads to
increased areas of critical lands, surface erosion and increased runoff. In Jeneberang
Watershed, there are critical lands extending to 219.74 km, spread over the areas of
Gowata regency and Makassar city.
Forest areas now extend to 8,259 hectares (13.3%), it is far below the normal limit of 47% as
mandated by the Law 41/1999 on the forestry. At present, the Jeneberang watershed is
Page 2
dominated by dry-land farming which covers an area of 29,334 hectares (47.52%). The area
of underbrush is larger than forest area about 12,530 hectares (20.3%). This condition
causes an increase on the rate of erosion that leads to the Bili-bili Dam. Flooding in
agricultural and residential areas is caused by the inability of river channels to accommodate
river water discharge. Frequent flooding occurs in such rivers as Maros, Sinjai, Bialo, Pappa,
Allo, Tamanroya, Calendu, Pampang and Tallo. Flood events data recorded between 2005
to 2009 showed 14 flood events with various inundation areas, inundation levels and
inundation durations, as follows: (1) Inundation areas: 50 to 8,000 hectares; (2) Inundation
levels: 100 to 400 cm; (3) Inundation duration for 3 hours to 2 days. The records also
showed that flooding also occurred in such watersheds area as Mangottong, Kalamisu,
Tangka, Bikeru, Balantieng, Teko, Kelara, Tarowang, Pokobulo, Tonra and Bontomanai. The
floods also inundated plantation areas, fisheries, and such infrastructures as roads, bridges
and canals, and also caused some casualties. The increase of erosion and sedimentation
has led to siltation and decreased water storage capacity, especially in such Watershed as
Maros, Pappa and Tamanroya.
In the Jeneberang watershed, the erosion and sedimentation occurred were extraordinary
due to the collapse of Bawakaraengs caldera. Due to the collapse, about 300 million m of
materials slid into the Jeneberang Watershed. A 2008 survey that 145 million m are in an
unstable condition will be collapsed, for example: In north caldera is about 12,906,500 m, In
east caldera is about 111,073,000 m an in south caldera is about 21,088,500 m with total
about 145,068,000 m. This phenomenon has caused last disasters in residential areas,
fields, estates, and 1,500 hectares of agricultural lands and infrastructures including school
buildings in the downstream area, 32 persons died due to being buried by the slide and
6,333 people were evacuated to safe site. Based on survey that sedimentation in Bili-bili
Reservoir is about 22,934 million m in which 14,558 m of the total amount occurred on
March 26, 2004 after the Bawakaraeng collapse. Meanwhile, the sediment storage (deadstorage) volume of the Reservoir is only 29 million m. More than 62 million m of the
sediments entered into the reservoir until 2008. Therefore, it will certainly lead to tremendous
losses and multiplier effects that could even reach the dams lower area if no quick and
appropriate measure is taken to overcome the problem.
2. CATCHMENT AREA MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE BILI BILI MULTIPURPOSE
DAM DEVELOPMENT
Systematically, Jeneberang catchment area management for sustainable dam development
consist of land use planning, sediment control, assessment of catchment erosion, public
participation, land and water conservation as described briefly:

Jeneberang catchment area is a relatively steep, and therefore the flow speed and the
damaging ability are still quite high. In this part, 8 consolidation dams (CD or KD) have been
built to control vertical and horizontal material (debris) flows in order to prevent damages and
flow deviation. The consolidation dams were designed to control 1.56 million m materials
and indirectly control an amount of 48.43 million m. Overall, they can control 49.99 million
m materials. The constructions of the consolidation dams were started in 2007. In addition,
5 units of clean water treatment facilities, 2 crossing roads (KD-1 and KD-2) and 2
suspension bridges (in CD-2 and CD-3), were also built for the local community. (3)
Sediment control management in the D/S that the slope is relatively not too steep. The flow
from the U/S which slope is steeper, will suddenly lose its speed when it enters the D/S part
and it then will release the sediments that it carries, which then causes a deposition. This
deposition can spread in many directions if it is not controlled. The area of this deposition is
known as an alluvial fan so in 1997 to 2001 by the Government constructed 5 sand pockets
(SP). After the landslide, these sand pockets were damaged and the material deposition
exceeded the sand pockets carrying capacities. Therefore, it must be rehabilitated the
structures and enlarged their capacities. Mining facilities for sand and other materials were
also built to release the materials out of the sand pockets which can then be utilized as
construction materials. These five sand pockets have an overall carrying capacity of
1,081,000 m. The sediment flow control infrastructures are also equipped with an early
warning system as well as a flood and landslide monitoring station in Lengkese Village. In
Gowa Regency, clean water infrastructures have been built for the people of Tamalate
Village, Parangloe Sub-regency.
matter content (OM) were analyzed in order to support the erosion rate analysis. Results
shows that five soil series have low rates of soil loss. Soil sampling has been carried out
from selected sites. The rainfall data is obtained from Climatology Station. Physical condition
such as slope angle, plant cover and conservation practices were considered under
selection for sampling station in the field. The study catchment area was digitized using Ilwis
3.3 and ArcView GIS 3.3 software for soil series map, topographical map, and land use map
and drainage pattern characteristics. Particle size distribution was determined by pipette
method together with dry sieving (Abdulla, 1966). Textures of soils were obtained by plotting
the percentage ratio of sand, silt and clay using the triangle of texture. Organic matter
content was determined by loss on ignition technique. Soil erosion and sediment yields were
estimated for the year 2006 using the Universial Soil Loss Equation (Wischmeier and Smith,
1978). The formula for USLE estimation is as follows:
A = R*K*LS*C*P
(1)
Where A is the computed soil loss, R is the rainfall erosion index, K is the soil erosion index,
L is the slope length factor, S is the slope steepness factor, C is the vegetation cover factor
and P is the soil conservation practices factor. The rainfall (R) factor represents the erosion
potential of rainstorms to be expected in a given locality. It is related with the kinetic energy
and intensity of the rain and occasionally used synonymously as erosion (E). The product
EI30 reflects the potential ability of rain to cause erosion, where E = total kinetic energy of
rain and I30 = peak 30 minutes intensity. In this study, rainfall erosion index was calculated
based on Morgan and Roose calculation (Morgan, 2005) that has two R values can be
presence in the study area. Therefore, the best estimate of erosion index for the study area
is the average from two calculations. Wischmeier and Smith recommended a maximum
intensity (I30) value of 75 mm/hr for tropical regions because research has indicated that
erosive raindrop size decrease when intensity exceeds this threshold value. P is the annual
rainfall mean equivalent of the study area. The best estimation of the R factor value
calculated for the study area was 1654.55 MJ mm ha-1 yr-1. Soil erosion factor (K) is the
ability of the soil to be eroded by moving water. It depends on the soil structure, organic
matter percentage, size composition of the soil particles and soil permeability measured as
hydraulic conductivity. The K value can be obtained using a monograph (Morgan, 1980;
Wischmeier et al., 1971). In this exercise, the K value of the soil in the study area was
calculated using the formula as follows:
K= [[2.1x10-4(12-OM%)(N1xN2)1.14+3.25(S-2)+(P-3)]]/100

Where L is slope length in m and S is slope gradient in percent. The variation in value was
caused by variation in gradient and length of slope. The vegetation covers factor (C)
represents the ratio of soil loss under a given vegetation cover as opposed to that bare soil.
The effectiveness of a plant cover for reducing erosion depends on the height and continuity
of the tree canopy as well as the density of the ground cover and the root growth. The
vegetation cover intercepts raindrops and dissipates its kinetic energy before it reaches the
ground surface. In the current study, the C values were extracted from the Morgan (2005)
estimates and assigned to the corresponding land cover based in the 2002 land use map of
the Malaysian Department of Agriculture (2006). The P factor depends on the conservation
measure applied to the study area. In Malaysia the most common conservation practice is
contour terracing in rubber and oil palm plantations. In this study, it was assumed that
contour terracing practice on slopes was carried out for both rubber and oil palm plantation.
In the current study, the value of P was assigned by overlaying the slope map and land use
map. The rubber and oil palm plantation on slopes were assigned a P value according to the
slope steepness while other agricultural activities were given a value of 1, assuming no
conservation practices were adopted. The calculation of the soil erosion based on the USLE
Page 7
model showed that are series had low rates of soil loss, ranging from 0.26 to 1.43
ton/ha/year or an average of 0.65 ton/ha/year, 0.06 to 0.17 ton/ha/year, with an average of
0.10 ton/ha/year, 0.66 to 2.65 ton/ha/year, with an average of 1.61 ton/ha/year, 1.27 to 9.57
ton/ha/year, with an average of 4.23 ton/ha/year and 0.17 to 0.90 ton/ha/year, with an
average of 0.53 ton/ha/year respectively. Forested areas were mostly in the western and
northern parts of the Jeneberang catchment area and human activities were localized in the
eastern and southern regions. The steepest slopes were in the western and northern parts of
the catchment area. Relatively, low steep areas were located in the eastern and southern
parts of the study area. Soil series were located in the forested area with low C values
(0.001) and low erosion yields. Similar results were also reported by Shallow (1956) for
areas under natural forests. Soil Loss Tolerance Rates (Ministry of Environment, 2003) were
prepared for standard evaluation of soil loss in the study area. The Series had a moderate
rate of soil loss, ranging from 0.56 to 144.90 ton/ha/year averaging 47.41 ton/ha/year and
1.11 to 102.05 ton/ha/year, averaging 42.62 ton/ha/year. These soil series were located in
the oil palm, rubber and forested areas; hence the value of erosion yield was moderate. The
soil series had a moderately high rate of soil loss, ranging from 1.25 to 97.86 ton/ha/year,
averaging 57.16 ton/ha/year and 3.35 to 100.46 ton/ha/year, averaging 57.93 ton/ha/year.
The LS factor values and the K values for the soil series were found to be higher than those
of the others. The soil series had a high rate of soil loss, ranging from 21.44 to 348.75
ton/ha/year or an average of 130.26 ton/ha/year. On the basis of the land use map, the soil
series was covered with the oil forest vegetation. Most of the soil series were covered with
the plantations and had high erosion soil series which had very high erosion yield, ranging
from 79.99 to 319.75 ton/ha/year, or an average of 180.49 ton/ha/year. The C value for the
Kedah soil series was considered very high (0.20) because it was located under rubber, oil
palm and shifting cultivation areas. (Tania Del Mar Lopez et al., 1998) mentioned that soil
erosion varied with the land use pattern and the highest values are in areas of bare soil and
lowest in forest areas.
2.4. Public Participation
Achieved remarkable progresses in water resources development untill 2025 through
government led development projects. However, the institutional development to sustain this
progress got insufficient attention. From the lessons learned before the multidimensional
crisis, it has been recognized that the severe crisis had been due to the chronic neglect of
the farmers roles in almost the entire process of development, rehabilitation, and routine
operation and maintenance of irrigation infrastructures. In an attempt to resolve the
dilemmatic situation to maintain sustainable rice production on the one hand, while keeping
Page 8
pace the productivity level with the increasing population growth on the other, an emphasis
has been given to irrigation development and management based on participatory approach.
The program had been set up to reduce central government's burden on Operation and
Maintenance (O&M) costs aiming for sustainable irrigation O&M by virtue of Participatory
Irrigation Management (PIM) approach. Under the said program, a number of policy
adjustments on water resources had been enacted. Further to this, PIM attempts have also
been carried out including: turning over to the Water User Association (WUA) of small
irrigation schemes; encouragement of Irrigation Service Fee (ISF). Irrigation Management
Transfer (IMT); Participatory design and construction program; field laboratories for visual
process of learning by doing, and other such government initiatives. However, it turned up
that the attempts has been going very slowly and yet, still tended to be least sustainable.
This has been partially suspected by the fact that the economy of the farmers and farming
conditions under the fragmented land ownership, which in fact, are already small, has been
marginalizing.
To facilitate resolving the problems, the newly enacted Water Law No. 7/2004, together with
the Government Regulation No. 20/2006 about Irrigation, prescribe that the O&M
responsibility for primary and secondary canals belongs to the Central Government,
Provincial as well as Local Autonomous Government with certain role sharing criteria settled
down by the Government Regulation on Irrigation Management. For reducing the burden of
the farmers, they assigned responsibility to operate and maintain the tertiary canals through
their water users associations (WUA). This paper intends to discuss a series of practices,
problems, and perspectives on participatory irrigation management under the small land
holding condition, the implication of the new policies on technical and traditional irrigation
schemes, institutional and legal aspects of O&M, as well as the role of WUAs. These
include technical, institutional, and financial, as well as regulatory instruments, and other
such measures toward sustainable PIM implementation. Community empowerment,
monitoring and involvement in water resources management are generally carried out
through the forum of Jeneberang river basin water resources management coordination.
Other activities that involve the community are land reforestation and rehabilitation carried
out through the forum of the National Movement for Water Safeguard Partnership. These
activities are carried out in watersheds with critical lands, such as in Jeneberang watershed,
Tamangroya Sub-watershed in Gowa regency. These activities are carried out on a regular
basis and are coordinated by the work groups established in many places. The activities
carried out in the preparation of water resources information system for example (a)
Coordinating with the PJLRBO, water resources management service of South Sulawesi,
and other relevant offices that are required to follow the norms, standards, guidelines and
Page 9
manuals of information system management. (b) Updating data and information periodically
as part of the effort to maintain the accuracy of water resources data and information. (c)
Accessing specific water resources information. (d) Coordinating with legal entities,
organizations, institutions, and individuals that carry out water resources information
management activities.

area near the caldera. There are still materials in a volume of 145 million m that are in an
unstable condition and have the potential to cause a collapse.
3. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
At the present, the Jeneberang catchment area is dominated by dry-land farming which
covers an area of 47.52%, forest areas is 13.3%., critical lands to 219.74 km. This condition
causes an increase on the rate of erosion that leads to the Bili-bili Dam. Flooding in
agricultural and residential areas is caused by the inability of river channels to accommodate
river water discharge. It is recommended that the Jeneberang catchment area must be
improved by conservation development, public participation is very usefull for develop the
forestation to anticipate land slide, erosion and to manage the jeneberang catchment area
for greenhouse gas effect control and irrigation development.
