IAGI urges government to complete Water Resources Legislation
Indonesia Professional Geologists Association (IAGI) urged the government to modify the Legislative Plan (LP) for Water Resource (WR) because the current draft only regulates surface water and makes no reference to underground sources. IAGI Chairman for Environmental Geology sector, Adurrachman Assegaf said that from the Draft Law makes no provision for water management on the whole. �We (IAGI) propose the LP to be modified in order to resolve water resource problem as a whole,� said Asseggaf in his discussion with reporters in Jakarta Tuesday (October 21). He said that the association proposed 6 points to complete the Water Resources Draft. First, a proportional arrangement of water sources i.e. rain water, surface water, ground water and inland sea water. Second, water resource management must be executed based on ground water basin structure. Third, ground water basin determination must be based on hydrology limits which will give a clearly defined shape of the basin. Fourth, socialize (I.e. educate and disseminate) the ground water basin terminology to all society levels. Fifth, soil water management process to incorporate technological factors as part of the management. Sixth, water resource management approach must be unified and coordinated between concerned parties and according to their competence. The President of IAGI, Andang Bachtiar added that these six recommendations were ratified by the IAGI member panel meeting in Bandung on 10 October said Bisnis Indonesia.. According to him, the proposal was based on all professional geologists concern with the future use of water resources for the benefit of the Indonesian people. �This WR Law is very necessary for the people in the future so it will influence the water resource management as a whole. The (current draft) Law may not be unable to give accurate and better answers to people,� he stated.**** Sumber : Miningindo.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit IAGI Website: http://iagi.or.id IAGI-net Archive 1: http://www.mail-archive.com/iagi-net%40iagi.or.id/ IAGI-net Archive 2: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iagi Komisi Sedimentologi (FOSI) : F.
