 ELUCIDATION ON
GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
NUMBER 82 YEAR 2001
REGARDING
MANAGEMENT OF WATER QUALITY AND
CONTROL OF WATER POLLUTION

GENERAL
Water as a natural resource is vital to meet the livelihood of all people, so that it should
be protected in order to remain useful for mankind and other living creatures.
In order to make the water to be continually useful at the desired quality, it is necessary
to exert some measure of preservation and/or control. Preserving the water quality here
means an effort to maintain it’s function and quality as if under natural conditions.
Preservation of water quality is done at it’s source point which is located inside of a
conserved forest. Management of water quality on those water sources that are located
outside of a conserved forest can be done through water pollution control, that is,
maintaining the water functionality so it’s quality satisfy the water quality standards.
Water, being a component of the environment will affect and being affected by the other
components. If the water quality is bad, the environmental conditions will also worsen
which in turn causes detriments to the health and well-being of mankind as well as
other living creatures. Deteriorating water quality will lower it’s efficiency, productivity,
yield, load bearing capacity, and carrying capacity and at the end will cause a natural
resource depletion.
Water, being one of the vital components of natural resources, must be utilized for the
best benefit of the people. This means that the water utilization for myriad purposes
must be done wisely by observing the interests of the present and the future generations.
It must therefore be managed in such a way that there shall always be plentiful of
supply of good quality water to support the ecological livelihood of mankind and other
living creatures, and to support our continual development. On the one hand the efforts
and/or activities of humans require a lot of useful water, but on the other hand they
have the potential for some negative impacts, in the form of pollution, which may
endanger the supply, usefulness, absorbing capacity, storage capacity and productivity
of the water. In order that the water remains useful and supportive for the continual
development, it will be necessary to exert some efforts to manage the quality and to
control any pollution over it.
The negative impacts of water pollution is associated with economic (cost), ecological
and socio-cultural values. The costs to remediate the polluted water may be higher than
the financial values of the business and/or activity that generate the pollutant. Also, if
the condition of the polluted water is left unattended (i.e. no remedial action), it will
entail some costs, in view of the capital investments required to mitigate and/or
alleviate the negative impacts generated by the polluted water.

GR82-2001.PDF 22
By definition, water pollution is indicated by the lowering of the water quality to a
certain degree, which render the water to be no longer functional at its designated
purposes. The specified degree here means a water standard water quality that is
stipulated as a measure of pollution, i.e.: the target to be reached or maintained by the
pollution control program.
The stipulation the water quality standard, other than being based upon the designated
beneficial uses, shall also be based upon the existing real life conditions of the water in
different areas/regions. It is therefore to be determined through the designations of
water quality grades (classification) approach. A standard of water quality that is solely
based upon designated beneficial uses might face difficulties when applied to factual
conditions where none of the stipulated class-quality can be matched.
Through the determination of standard water quality at the source and taking into
account the factual conditions, one can then calculate the amount of pollutant load that
can still be accommodated by the receiving water body that it shall remain functional at
the designated usage. This pollutant load is the absorbing capacity of the receiving
water at its designated usage.
Government Regulation No. 20/1990 regarding Control Over Water Pollution is deemed
no longer adequate, because substantially it is not compatible with the regional
autonomy principles as outlined in Law No. 22/1999 regarding Regional Government.

Article 2
Paragraph (1)
In view of the dynamic properties of water that generally exist and flowing
simultaneously across several administrative borders of regional governments, water
management and pollution control cannot be performed partially by single regional
administrations. To be more effective and efficient, it should be done in a consolidated
manner, trans-boundary, and taking into account the ecological system’s characteristics.
Such integrated approach in water management and control over pollution can be done
through coordinative approach between the regional administration within a unitary
water ecological system and/or unification of water management units along the river’s
flowing area (DAS) and designated river flowing areas (DPS). This trans-regional
cooperation may be coordinated through a trans-regional cooperative body, which
include within its organizational structure any related institutions, with respect to plans
of the water usage, monitoring of water quality, determinations of the water standard

Article 4
Paragraph (1)
Management of the water quality is meant to maintain the water quality with the
objectives to preserve its functionality, by way of conservation or control. Conservation
of the water quality is meant to maintain it as in the natural conditions.

Paragraph (2)
Sufficiently clear

Paragraph (3)
The natural conditions of the water at it’s source within the conserved forest, water
springs and ground aquifers are generally of excellent quality. Such quality will be quite
difficult to restore should they become polluted, and will need years to remediate them
back to their original conditions. Therefore, they must be protected at their natural
conditions, whether it is in the conserved forest or outside. Subterranean waters
generally exist inside of reservoir called aquifers.
Underground aquifers usually exist between two geological rock layers, and receive
inputs from upstream water penetrations.
Conserved forests are wooden areas with a main function as life supporting system:
water distribution, flood prevention, erosion control, prevention of seawater
penetration, and preserve the fertility of the grounds.

Paragraph (4)
Efforts to control water pollution may include regulating and limiting the entry of
pollutant loads into the water body to the prevent pollution (i.e. to keep within tolerable
limits of the water quality standards).

Paragraph (1)
The water quality status represents the information regarding the level of water quality
at the water source at certain specific time.
In the course of water quality management and/or control over water pollution, it will
be necessary to identify the state of the water quality. It becomes necessary, therefore to
conduct monitoring by way of quality comparisons.
It is said to be under qualified if the results of the monitoring showed that the water
quality is worse than the standard.
It is said to satisfy the standard quality if the results of the monitoring showed that the
water quality is equal of better than the standard.
If the method of determining the standard water quality has not been stipulated in the
laws and regulations, then scientific principles may be used.
An example of specific parameters that have not been included in the standard water
quality criteria as shown in the attachment to this Government Regulation are, a.o: bio-
indicator and toxicological parameters.

Paragraph (2)
A polluted condition may be divided into several levels, such as heavily polluted,
