“…Rainwater harvesting (RWH) techniques for agriculture or daily consumption are one way to deal with drought. Technically, RWH can be in the form of embung (on-farm reservoir), check dams, channel reservoirs, or infiltration ditches [188,189]. RWH can also be in the form of "Akuifer Buatan dan Simpanan Air Hujan"/ABSAH (Artificial Aquifer and Rainwater Storage).…”

Indonesian watershed management continues to struggle with various problems caused by natural disasters, particularly hydrometeorological disasters, which are worsened by the effects of climate change. Coordinating and synchronizing the interest of many parties in watershed management with various scenarios of natural conditions is a big challenge in the creation of a healthy and productive watershed. Multiple initiatives have been undertaken, from establishing rules and policies to implementing them and assessing the effects, leading to various lessons being learned for better management. This article presents a study on watershed management in Indonesia and recommends alternative improvements toward healthy and productive watershed management. A combination of a descriptive qualitative analysis of the authors’ experience in various research activities and a critical analysis is used to examine existing conditions and to formulate recommendations for better sustainable management toward a healthy and productive watershed. Most Indonesian watersheds are susceptible to degradation due to numerous threats. The challenges in Indonesian watershed management, including land degradation and climate-induced disasters, lack of synchronization and coordination, limited resources, and anthropogenic factors, have led to decreased watershed health and productivity and hindered effective management. Integrated management, especially at the micro-watershed level, addresses these challenges. Successful integrated watershed management requires community involvement, appropriate management action for specific locations, technological support, regulatory alignment, and stakeholder collaboration to ensure a healthy, productive, and sustainable watershed for present and future generations.

“…In addition, indigenous knowledge related to water harvesting also exists as a reflection of adaptation patterns in water scarcity [96]. For rural areas at the upstream watershed, water harvesting techniques consist of the on-farm reservoir (known as 'embung'), channel reservoir, check dams, and infiltration ditches [84,97]. These techniques provide several advantages, such as collecting rainfall and runoff, storing water in the rainy season for dry season use, collecting sediment, and supporting farming irrigation.…”

Dominated by mountainous topography, high rainfall, and erosion-sensitive soil types, and with the majority of its population living in rural areas as farmers, most of Indonesia’s watersheds are highly vulnerable to erosion. In 1984, the Government of Indonesia established 22 priority watersheds to be handled, which marked the start of formal soil and water conservation activities. Although it has not fully succeeded in improving watershed conditions from all aspects, something which is indicated by fluctuations in the area of degraded land, over the past 40 years the Indonesian government has systematically implemented various soil and water conservation techniques in various areas with the support of policies, laws and regulations, and research and development. These systematic efforts have shown positive results, with a 40% reduction in the area of degraded land over the last 15 years from 2004–2018. This paper reviews policy, implementation, and research and development of soil and water conservation activities in Indonesia over the last 40 years from the 1980s to 2020 and explores the dynamics of the activities.

“…Seperti disajikan di dalam Tabel 5, lebih dari 60 % wilayah Indonesia mempunyai curah hujan tahunan > 2000 mm/tahun (Subagyono et al dalam Hafif, 2016). Mengendalikan sifat hujan yang sangat erosive karena intensitas dan energi kinetik tinggi merupakan tantangan yang berat.…”
