PERENCANAAN MANAJEMEN PEMANFAATAN SUMUR BOR DI HILIR DAS REJOSO (KECAMATAN WINONGAN)

Abstract

Rejoso watershed management in Pasuruan Regency integrally and sustainably planned would be tested and implemented in a participatory manner in this activity. One of them was the efficient use of water resources (SDA) downstream. The natural resource efficiency program was expected to increase public awareness of consuming water wisely and to help conserve natural resources. These approaches became important considering that in the last two decades, the Rejoso watershed had experienced degradation marked by various problems, namely the decrease in the discharge of several sources, the death of several artesian wells. This program aimed to increase public awareness in the water saving movement in the short term. In the long term, hopefully the community are more efficient in using water in the Rejoso watershed and more independent in managing  the use of artesian wells in the downstream areas. The manifestation of water use efficiency was implemented by closing wells and replacing new wells equipped with debit control facilities so that artesian wells were be able to be used when the discharge regulating facility was operated. When water was not needed, the discharge regulating facility was turned on so that the artesian well discharge could be stored and not wasted. The scope of public service activities to pilot well closure that was not efficient in utilization.
