CULTURE PERSPECTIVE • Indonesia society has “cultivated” littering in places like river, lake, sea and others. Both household waste or industrial waste. • Water-wasting habits are also common. Especially in urban areas where people already have enough clean water • Latrines on the side of the river is still widely found • These things make people look unconcerned about the need for clean water and good sanitation while there are many people who lack of clean water and good sanitation. AGRICULTURE PERSPECTIVE Use of water in food agriculture How is water affected by agriculture?
Food and agriculture are the Improperly managed agricultural
largest consumers of water, activities may impact surface water requiring one hundred times more by contributing nutrients, pesticides, than we use for personal needs. sediment, and bacteria, or by altering Up to 70 % of the water we take stream flow. Fertilizer and pesticide from rivers and groundwater goes use, tillage, irrigation, and tile into irrigation, about 10% is used drainage can affect water quality and in domestic applications and 20% hydrology in industry.
How can we conserve water in agriculture?
1. Drip Irrigation 6. Rotational Grazing
2. Capturing and Storing Water 7. Compost and Mulch 3. Irrigation Scheduling 8. Cover Crops 4. Drought-Tolerant Crops 9. Conservation Tillage 5. Dry Farming 10. Going Organic LAW PERSPECTIVE • IWRM (Integrated Water Resources Management) “IWRM is a process which promotes the co- ordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.” (Source Integrated Water Resources Management in Action. WWAP, DHI Water Policy, UNEP-DHI Centre for Water and Environment.2009) MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE • Water quality is critical to public health because water is a key human need. PHYSICS PERSPECTIVE • The science of physics is an important role in the management of clean water, such as the creation of a water processing of the proper drink. The processing equipment flood designed by physics without using chemicals or the process in filtration (screening) by using layers of the size of the most violent and smooth. The water processed that was meet the standards of quality of water in proper drink to achieve product water and safe. One unit of the processing water flooding can create the capacity of 10 liters of water to drink a minute. DANKE
