“…These results are consistent with those of other water resources management studies completed in Ontario, which speak to insufficient investment in CAs and groundwater management (Carter et al, 2005;de Loë and Kreutzwiser, 2005;Shrubsole, 1996). A key concern is that many core CA programs are undertaken without provincial government funding, including the development of watershed strategies (I 1, 2, 12, 13; see also Ivey et al, 2002).…”

Integrated water resources management (IWRM) is advocated by international and expert communities as the most viable approach to achieving sustainable freshwater management. Watersheds are often viewed as the preferred management units. There is increasing recognition, however, that socio-political and watershed boundaries do not coincide, and where they are used for management purposes, these boundaries are constructed through processes of political contestation. Key informants from various agencies and sectors associated with water resources management in Ontario (where watershed-based management has been in place for decades), Nova Scotia (currently developing a comprehensive water resources management strategy), and the Government of Canada were interviewed: to explore the links between IWRM and watershed management; barriers to IWRM; elements essential for IWRM to work effectively; the appropriate scale of watershed management units; and the degree of cross-scale interactions between agencies and stakeholders. Four main themes emerged around capacity, coordination and participation, scale of implementation, and education. To achieve IWRM, particular attention must be paid to existing local circumstances and resources, situated within formalized provincial and national frameworks.Resumé : La gestion intégrée des ressources hydriques (GIRH) est préconisée par les communautés internationaux et expertes comme étant l'approche la plus viable pour atteindre la gestion soutenable de l'eau douce. Les bassins hydrographiques sont fréquemment considérés comme les unités de gestion favorisées. Mais il y a une augmentation de reconnaissance que les frontières sociopolitiques et hydrographiques ne coïncident pas, et là où employées pour la gestion, les frontières hydrographiques sont construites à travers des processus de contestation politique. Des informateurs principaux de divers agences et secteurs associés avec la gestion des ressources hydriques en Ontario (où la gestion basée sur les bassins hydrographiques est en place depuis des décennies), la Nouvelle-Écosse (développe actuellement une stratégie compréhensive pour la gestion des ressources hydriques), et le gouvernement du Canada ont été interviewés pour obtenir une compréhension : des liens entre la GIRH et la gestion des bassins hydrographiques; les obstacles à la GIRH, les éléments essentiels pour le fonctionnement efficace de la GIRH, l'échelle convenable pour la gestion par bassin hydrographique; et l'étendue des interactions entre les agences et les parties prenantes. Quatre thèmes principaux ont fait surface sur la capacité, la

“…Population growth followed by an increasing demand for land for food and settlement increases the pressure on land, since more land is likely allocated for economic purposes (e.g. agricultural and industrial area expansions) than for soil and water protection purposes (Carter et al, 2005;Wheater & Evans, 2009). In addition, land use planning is often applied without information on its effectiveness to reduce risks for future water stress (Carter et al, 2005;Fulazzaky, 2014).…”

“…agricultural and industrial area expansions) than for soil and water protection purposes (Carter et al, 2005;Wheater & Evans, 2009). In addition, land use planning is often applied without information on its effectiveness to reduce risks for future water stress (Carter et al, 2005;Fulazzaky, 2014). For these reasons, it is necessary to gain knowledge on the extent and directions of future hydrological processes as affected by ongoing trends of land use change under various climate conditions.…”

“…Given the rapid growth of populations and associated demand for settlements and agricultural lands, land use policy can be a relevant factor in water management (Carter et al, 2005). Increased demands for settlements and farming areas can be in conflict with an increased demand for water resources.…”

“…For instance, agricultural intensification and settlement development can lead to a reduction in soil infiltration rates and base flow and an increase of surface runoff and soil erosion. Therefore, future land allocation and land use management should be designed based on a proper understanding of how land use changes may affect catchment hydrology (see Carter et al, 2005).…”

The damage of Drainage Basin (DAS) comes to be a factor on the unavoidable flooding disaster area. In Indonesia, most of Drainage Basins-particularly in Java including Bengawan Solo Drainage Basin have experienced damage. This research is to analyze the urgency of the local regulation on the management of Bengawan Solo Drainage Basin in order to strengthen the function of ecosystem and good government. The method used in this research is a judicial-empirical or non-doctrinal method. The result of the research concludes that in such condition in which the threat of the crisis of support capability on ecosystem and environment being faced by Indonesia is so real. Hence, legislation of legal norms on the management of Integrated Abstrak Rusaknya Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) adalah salah satu penyebab yang membuat suatu daerah tidak akan terbebas dari banjir. Kebanyakan Daerah Aliran Sungai di Indonesia terutama di Jawa termasuk DAS Bengawan Solo telah mengalami kerusakan. Penelitian ini mengkaji urgensi Peraturan Daerah Pengelolaan DAS Bengawan Solo dalam rangka penguatan fungsi lingkungan hidup dan good governance. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah yuridis empiris atau non doktrinal. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa dalam kondisi saat ini, di mana ancaman krisis daya dukung ekosistem dan lingkungan hidup yang dihadapi Indonesia sangat nyata, maka legislasi norma hukum pengelolaan DAS Terpadu di DAS Bengawan Solo sangat diperlukan seiring dengan ikhtiar untuk memperkuat demokrasi dan negara hukum, serta tata kelola pemerintahan yang baik (good governance). Di sisi lain, di tingkat Pusat telah ada Peraturan Pemerintah No. 37 Tahun 2012 tentang Pengelolaan DAS dan sudah saatnya ditindaklanjuti dalam bentuk peraturan daerah. Kata Kunci : Perda PDAS, fungsi lingkungan hidup, good governance Jurnal Hukum IUS QUIA IUSTUM NO. 2 VOL. 20 APRIL 2013: 255-277 256 Pendahuluan Ketidakseimbangan antara manusia dan sumber-sumber alam, antara lain disebabkan oleh rusaknya sumber alam sebagai akibat dari aktivitas manusia, karena itu maka dilakukanlah pengelolaan Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS). Hal seperti itu dapat terjadi karena keterbelakangan manusia terhadap pengetahuan lingkungan dan kehidupan ekonominya yang miskin sehingga mereka dihadapkan pada pilihan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup. Berkembangnya tuntutan yang meluas agar kebijakan-kebijakan resmi negara yang pro-lingkungan dapat tercermin dalam bentuk perundang-undangan untuk ditaati oleh semua pemangku-kepentingan (stakeholders). Tidak terkecuali, Indonesia juga menghadapi tuntutan yang sama, yaitu perlunya disusun suatu kebijakan yang dapat dipaksakan berlakunya dalam bentuk undang-undang tersendiri yang mengatur mengenai lingkungan hidup. Manusia sering dianggap sebagai kendala atau bahkan sebagai perusak sumber daya alam. 1 Bentuk kerusakan sumber daya alam oleh manusia disebabkan karena kurangnya kesadaran dan pengetahuan manusia ataupun karena tekanan kebutuhan ekonomi. Karena itu, faktor manusia perlu diperhitungkan secara baik, sehubungan deng...
