“…Sumber Brantas Village is a village in upper Batu, their community-based collaboration has been formed in environmental management with Tahura R. Soerjo and Perum Jasa Tirta I. This collaboration program aims to increase public awareness to be involved in preserving the Brantas watershed and the forest that surrounds the Sumber Brantas village, the collaboration and their role activity shown in table 2 Several factors that support the implementation of the collaboration program are: 1) awareness of Brantas' strategic value; 2) an understanding of roles and responsibilities; 3) cultural aspects [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The strategy carried out based on spatial planning is the existence of the Brantas Source Arboretum, R. Soerjo Forest Park and the Perum Perhutani Protected Forest Area of KPH Malang.…”

The floods that occurred in Batu in November 2021 were the result of improper management of the upstream area of the Brantas river. This paper reviewing the parties involved in s watershed management strategies with floods. We start by reviewing the watershed management by the stakeholder in upperment areas Brantas. Then we discuss the mitigation strategies’ role in invoicing the negative impact of floods. This research uses qualitative descriptive methods through secondary data collection and literature studies on previous research on management strategies for the upstream area of the Brantas River. This result of the analysis showed that the watershed manages by several leading sectors. The good carrying capacity of the upstream area of the Brantas river is a collaboration of management by the stakeholders. That ability to generate the desired output of basic resources to reduce the risk of several flooding disasters, while maintaining the desired environmental quality. Efforts to develop the regional management can be pursued through community empowerment activities which in practice are carried out through various forms of cooperation/partnerships including community groups. That ability to generate the desired output of basic resources to reduce disaster risk of more severe flooding disasters, while maintaining the environmental quality.

“…The Brantas also serves as sink to pesticides, fertilizers, and livestock runoff from the farms and plantations that cover well over half of the land area of the basin. The basin is also subject to significant seasonal fluctuations, geomorphic activities, riverbank development, and land use changes that contribute to high sedimentation (Harnanto and Hidayat, 2004;Fulazzaky, 2009;Jänen et al, 2013;Sulistyaningsih et al, 2017).…”

“…With respect to administration, there are noted coordination problems, insufficient expertise for implementing IWRM, and limitations with respect to administrative capacity to deliver some functions of water quality management, such as pollution control, integrated planning, and community engagement (ADB, 2016;Kösters et al, 2020;UNEP, 2020). So-called "sectoral egos" hinder effective cooperation (Mulyana and Prasojo, 2020;Waskitho et al, 2021), and a lack of socialization and "short-termism" prevents efforts to implement long-term river basin plans and programs (Sulistyaningsih et al, 2017). Lastly, water quality is simply of lesser political importance than water issues that are perceived as more urgent-namely, flood control and allocation.…”

“…A fourth commonly-cited class of concerns relates to community awareness of river health and public behavior related to managing solid waste and domestic wastewater. Community awareness regarding river ecology and pollution is purportedly lacking, resulting in low levels of concern for the river and poor problem-solving skills related to wastewater management (Rusfandi, 2003;Sulistyaningsih et al, 2017;Handoyo and Said, 2020).…”

Recognizing the interrelatedness of water use and conceptual value of IWRM, progressive water resource management systems are moving beyond hierarchical arrangements toward more integrated networks. Increasing calls for participation recognize the value of broadened perspectives that provide both technical expertise as well as social, cultural, and administrative knowledge. Moreover, the call for evidence-based policy of '00s has been tempered by recognition of the political nature of data and science. As such, water decision-makers striving to coproduce and employ shared knowledge must grapple with integrating inputs from diverse participant groups to characterize policy problems and identify effective and feasible solutions. Participatory mandates, coordination bodies, and collaborative networks have emerged to facilitate such integration, and their effective cooperation and alignment relies upon some degree of shared purpose, rather than command and control. But guidance is limited with respect to how to accomplish such integrative aims, including how to support discussions across sectors and silos of practice in order to foster better understanding regarding the problems a policy network collectively aims to address. Motivated by observations within the discourse on water quality in the Brantas River basin in Indonesia, this research explores alternative concepts and problem structures regarding river health via Q methodology. Q methodology, an approach that uses factor analysis to explore human subjectivity, is applied to explore conceptualizations of water quality and the structures of the “water quality problem” in the Brantas. The results show that different groups of perspectives emerge regarding the concept itself, as well as characterization of the current condition of the Brantas. Surprisingly, these variant perspectives do not follow oft-cited government-business-civil society divisions. Moreover, the emergent perspectives demonstrate which aspects of the policy problem are consistent and which are contested, suggesting several starting points for early collaboration and several areas that require further research and facilitated deliberation. The results also offer participants in the collaborative network greater appreciation of the various perspectives and definitions in use, within and across organizations, when discussing water quality.

Watersheds play an essential role in the sustainability of water resources, facing challenges such as pollution and unintegrated management. The Brantas River, especially the Upper Brantas subwatershed, is one of the primary water sources in East Java that is threatened by pollution due to household waste disposal. This study aims to analyze the sustainability of the Upper Brantas sub-watershed. Secondary data were collected from various sources between 2018-2022, including water quality, the Human Development Index, and analysis of natural vegetation cover. Primary data on policy implementation were collected using questionnaires. Data analysis used the watershed sustainability index. The results showed that the Upper Brantas sub-watershed had a sustainability index value of 0.54, which is classified as moderate.
