Cibinong, LIPI. Water is a basic human need that cannot be replaced. The need for water continues
to increase along with the increasing human population. The availability of proper
water is also decreasing day by day. Therefore, the United Nations has created
Intergovernmental Hydrological programs (IHP) for water research and management,
and related education and capacity development. This program is certainly obliged
to be implemented by UNESCO member countries, by creating a national committee
to implement it.
Based on the program from UNESCO related to water issues, the Indonesian Institute
of Sciences (LIPI) held an internal coordination meeting. The meeting was attended
by Ocky Karna Radjasa (Deputy for Earth Sciences-LIPI), Fauzan Ali (Head of the
Research Center for Limnology-LIPI), Ignasius Dwi Atmana Sutapa (Executive Director
of APCE), Apip, Intan Suci Nurhati, and several other meeting participants. During
the meeting, Ignasius explained several things, namely the vision and mission
of the Intergovernmental Hydrological Programs (IHP), plans for the formation
of a national committee and related stakeholders, the benefits obtained in its
implementation, and plans for activities to be implemented in 2021.
It is hoped that the results of the internal coordination meeting can be carried
out immediately and could be supported by various institutions that are stakeholders
in the established membership of the national committee. The national committee
that was formed was able to work well and achieve the agreed targets and of course
to assist in efforts to overcome crises or problems with water availability in
Indonesia.
