Enhancing stormwater management with low impact development (LID): a review of the rain barrel, bioretention, and permeable pavement applicability in Indonesia

Abstract

Low impact development (LID) is a sustainable land use and planning strategy that aims to minimize the environmental impacts of development. Community can enhance their water resources and create sustainable and resilient neighborhood. This approach has demonstrated success in managing stormwater and promoting water reuse globally, however, its suitability in developing countries like Indonesia remains uncertain and requires further investigation. The implementation of LID in developing countries may face several challenges including high-density and complex drainage networks, combined sewer usage, clay soil type, irregular housing layouts, community socio-economic characteristics, affordability, cost, and the availability of regulations and policies. With proper planning and site-specific strategies, LID can be implemented effectively in Indonesia. Clear regulations secured funding source and community-based LID are all essential for successful LID deployment. This paper can be used as a starting point for considering LID implementation in Indonesia and other countries with similar characteristics.

Potential Pollution Loads of the Cikembar Sub-Watershed to the Cicatih River, West Java, Indonesia

“…The emission factor of agricultural waste is shown in Table 7 below. Note: 1 In Indonesia, these are the five parameters with their emission factors available for agricultural sector.…”

“…Water pollution has been one of the global challenges for many countries [1]. The decline of river water quality, including in developing countries, is primarily because of urbanization, inadequate waste management policies, or basic infrastructure; this situation has repercussions for human health and for the ecosystem structure and function [2,3].…”

“…Considering the above-mentioned conditions, the principal objective of this study has two folds namely these were (1) to analyze the water quality status using Indonesia's Pollution Index and (2) to identify potential pollution loads from five main sectors, such as domestic, agriculture, livestock, industry, and commercial, in the Cikembar sub-watershed to the Cicatih River. The analysis was conducted on five key parameters: total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), Total-N, and Total-P.…”

“…Collection of sludge samples from 10 locations in the Ciliwung River for DO. Note: 1 In Indonesia, these are the five parameters with their emission factors available for domestic sector.…”

A GIS-based approach to determine the priority area for rainwater harvest in Kupang

“…Given these considerations, optimizing the utilization of limited rainfall within reservoirs and rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) becomes imperative. Rainwater harvesting serves as a compensatory measure for water scarcity [4]. This type of RWHS is characterized by using the structure of the roofs or patios to collect water in tanks.…”
