Project Category: Education & Training
Key Areas of Work: Integrated Water Resource Management
Project Date: Jan 18, 2010
IWC’s Dr Peter Oliver, SEQ Healthy Waterways’ Dr Eva Abal and IWC Alumnus Kristal Burry conducted a three-day training program for integrated water resource management (IWRM) for decision makers in the Indonesian government.
The training course was held in Bandung within the Citarum River Basin. It introduced the concept of IWRM, the development of IWRM frameworks and conceptual models, barriers and enablers to these IWRM approaches, planning and management tools and the analysis and understanding of assumptions and perspectives that underpin different models of decision making.
Discussion progressed over the days on topics such as governance to improve cross-sectoral collaboration, co-ordination and policy integration, and community and industry education and participation in IWRM.
The group also participated in a field trip to local water infrastructure sites, including an industrial wastewater treatment plant, a community level septic system and a hydropower plant.
Project Location: Bandung, West Java, Indonesia
