Linda Yustikasari, Kris Lulofs

Abstract

The scarcity of freshwater is a critical issue that continuously is considered to be important around the world. The availability of freshwater steadily decreases because of growing population, high water demand and global climate change. Underground streams water and aquifers within karst terrain is assessed as an substantial factor of water supply systems in karst areas, and in the case that is assessed in this paper as well. Therefore, water management on karst area is essential to solve water deficiency problems, particularly during dry season. In this paper, management of karst spring water is discussed based on some cases from Citatah karst. Management of spring water is the main object of this paper that use mix method design, incorporating a qualitative and a quantitative approach. Result showed that inadequate human resource, infrastructure, database system; lack assertiveness, supervision and instrument of rules implementation; and low level of awareness and participation are found as the main factor of poor management of karst spring water at Citatah karst. However, better management could be attained by improving capacity building, strengthening monitoring capabilities, formulation of groundwater policy, implementing economic and financial instruments, improving participatory management and applying sustainable technology for agricultural and domestic water use.
