WATER UTILIZATION

By Rajib Khafif Arruzzi

The current water crisis more pronounced in the various places one of them is the scarcity of water on the island of Java. Drought occurs in many places while in other places rains that caused flooding. Another problem that is abundant water in the rainy season and dry season  on water scarcity. This imbalance makes people think that water can be used uniformly by all districts. Results can be seen from such consideration is an increasingly dam project mushroomed. Dam project, helping to distribute water to avoid the instability that caused flooding and drought. Stored water during the rainy season so that water distribution is not too abundant. Dammed water in dry season flows to meet the needs of the community. Utilization of water for households in distributed by PDAM and for agricultural irrigation.

Locations of water resources depends heavily on the existing vegetation. A lot of lush vegetation and cause water to be retained. Groundwater that is stuck in a state of saturated and will flow out at a place and form resevoir and springs. Forest as an embodiment of the vegetation is increasingly rare to find in the island of Java. And then decimating the population of forest and agricultural land and establishing settlements on it. Water use was agreed jointly by several countries by the Hague agreement of 2000.

The water quality will affect all facets of life that use water. Suppose the health of the body if we consume water that is not healthy then we will definitely hurt your body. Agricultural use of polluted water irrigation will make the plants are not fertile.

Given the importance of water for the survival of human life, especially in Java island, the community should know the critical situation of water which will now happen. Communities must be aware of this so that ideas can emerge which can apply for solving this problem. Also expected to bring more people to save water. With information on water scarcity and water are increasingly critical we must maintain existing water quality in our environment like not throw household garbage and industrial waste in rivers and water sources. Law enforcement on water resources regulated by the government. Conservation and maintenance by making absorption, making the dam, and the last by way of application of science and technology with water purification
