Ecohydrology for Food Security

Food security is the availability of food and the ability of a person or group to access it. Food obtained and processed, comes from natural sources such as forests, lakes, oceans, air, and etc. Food is also obtained from sources made by humans, such as agricultural land, plantations, livestock, artificial lakes or pond, and etc. Sources of food availability need to be managed and cared for in order to maintain its sustainability.

Water Treatment Problems in Indonesia

One of the efforts to get access to clean water is water treatment. Processed water sources can come from surface water such as rivers and lakes, from the sky, namely rainwater and groundwater. The source of water that is commonly treated comes from the surface, namely rivers. In Indonesia itself, the government has formed a PDAM (local water company) which is a business entity, formed in various regions, in order to treat water and meet the needs of clean water for the people.
