Abstract:

The existing problem faced by Makassar City PDAM (Municipal Waterworks) regarding the management of water resources for drinking water in the last few years is mainly the lack of raw water supply, water quality vulnerability, infrastructure, financing, and uncertain climate change. The management and stakeholders face problems in the decision making on management and determination of company policy. The following study is expected to help managers in the adaptive and resilient decision making, where interdisciplinary and sectoral academic studies are required with a focus on the use of Robust Decision-Making (RDM) approach in planning water resources for drinking water in Makassar City. The following dissertation uses a qualitative approach to review planning documents from BMKG, BBPWS-PJ, and Makassar City PDAM regarding the provision of clean water from the upstream point to the downstream estuary. The expected objectives are; [1] reviewing the concept of Jeneberang watershed management in anticipating the impacts of climate change, [2] providing the availability of raw water in the long run, [3] public participation patterns, and [4] designing anticipation of uncertain condition through the RDM model. The first and second objectives use a literature study that formulates input, process, and output variables, while the third objectives use the Preferential Value Test approach. The fourth goal will be specifically discussed in a follow-up study with the RDM model approach. The renewal element lies in the raw water management policy that is more adaptive to climate change and presents various alternatives for the provision of raw water in the long term for Makassar City and its surrounding areas. A review towards the document of clean water management planning found that there is a lack of synergy in the long term with a high anticipatory level against the threat of climate change along with its impacts, as well as the threat of limited raw water supply due to exogenous problems beyond human reach with a long-term global impact. The third objective related to public participation expects fairness in the management and use of raw water for the public interest, taking into account social, economic and cultural aspects. Public expects a pattern of clean water management that is preventive, economical, healthy, hygienic and sustainable regarding quality and quantity of the clean water available. The expected recommendations are there is a policy regarding subsidies to clean water consumption among various consumer groups, reciprocal environmental policies available, a good management of behavioral pattern concerning clean water consumption, and structuring of pre-intensive clean water management and strengthening of the clean water paradigm. The recommendation of the clean water paradigm can be simulated in educational institutions, i.e. by presenting vocational education related to technology and management of clean water treatment.
