It’s not quite there, but the 10th WWF in Bali is able to open up opportunities for very strategic cooperation from various countries, including for the formulation of sustainable policies.

Through hydro-diplomacy and the World Water Forum (WWF), it is clear that it really helps all countries in the world from various regions to share and adopt the most appropriate steps for utilizing water resources and mitigating natural disasters related to sustainable water.

According to the Assistant Deputy for Environmental and Forestry Management Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves), M Saleh, the Citarum Harum program, which has been running since 2018, is a special effort to continue to improve the water quality there.

Meanwhile, the Director of Sanitation at the Directorate General of Human Settlements of the PUPR Ministry, Tanozisochi Lase, stated that one of the nation’s strategies for dealing with the Citarum River Watershed (DAS) is by managing waste so that it does not fall into the river. The management of the Citarum watershed continues to be implemented in an integrated manner, starting from repairing or normalizing the river body, then increasing river capacity by building tunnels, creating new settlements for residents affected by relocation, providing wastewater and surface waste processing facilities and law enforcement.

Not only has the success of water conservation in the Citarum River been successful, but Indonesia has also introduced traditional water management technology to the eyes of the world, as a form of water diplomacy to emphasize the importance of preserving water resources, as according to the Director General of Multilateral Cooperation, Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemlu). , Tri Tharyat. One of the traditional water management technology systems in Bali, namely Subak, which has even been made a world heritage by UNESCO, will clearly further enrich the treasures of water and irrigation management by the world community.

The momentum of the 10th WWF in Bali meant that Indonesia was able to use it to share practices, especially regarding water resource resilience with the international community, one of which was regarding wetland management. Through collaboration with conventions that deal with wetlands, at the World Water Forum there are several activities related to wetland issues. Making Indonesia have a very strong commitment to continue sharing knowledge related to water management and handling water problems in the world.
