Abstract

Water resource capacity in Java is significantly decreased. This has been
noticed by the more frequent floods and over-dried seasons happened in
several locations in Java. On the other side, the water demand in Java is
raised as the result of increasing population and quality of live. Reducing
of water resourcing capacity related with forest degradation, change of
land usage and river pollution. Interpretation of the satellite imaging in
2005 showed that the vegetated land areas is left abaut 2,4 acre or 21%
of the wholw area of Java island. This is lower than the regulated
requirement, i.e. about 30%. Efforts might be needed to solve this
problems, cover (1) Regulation of the number and distribution of population;
(2) Forest and land rehabilitation; (3) Coasts degradation control; (4)
Increasing efficiency of water usage and control of river pollution; (5)
Management of land usage by implementing the required 30% area as
opened green areas; and (6) Deregulation of the water management
institution.
