IUWASH Project Semarang: Installation of Infiltration Ponds for Desa Bismo And Desa Tambak Boyo Gunung

The Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (IUWASH) is a five years development project funded by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). IUWASH assists the Government of Indonesia to make a significant progress in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by expanding access to clean water and adequate sanitation services. Expanding access among Indonesia’s urban poor, currently those people with the most limited access to these services is the goal of IUWASH. In addition, IUWASH also promotes the goals of the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership by improving urban water and sanitation services thereby strengthening individual health. In reaching its goal, IUWASH works at the intersection of communities, local government, and service providers. The commitment of IUWASH is to mobilize demands for water supply and better sanitation service delivery, as well as improves capacity for service delivery (especially of government institutions). IUWASH also strengthens national strategies and enables local government and water utilities to deliver high quality, efficient water and sanitation services.

The expected results to be achieved are: Two million people in urban areas gain access to improved water supply; 250,000 people in urban areas gain access to improved sanitation facilities; and Water cost paid by the poor in targeted areas decreases by at least 20%. To achieve the above, technical assistance is dividing in three main technical components:
  • Mobilizing demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery; 
  • Improving and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and
  • Strengthening policy and the financial enabling environment for improved water supply and sanitation service delivery.
USAID/IUWASH in partnership with PDAM will implement a “water replenish” project in Kabupaten Batang, Central Java. The project objective is to facilitate recharging of spring aquifer (Desa Bismo/ Bismo Spring area and Desa Tambak boyo Gunung/ Watulumbung Spring area in Kab. Batang) which contributes to the drinking water supply for Kab. Batang. Over the last years discharge has been deteriorating at a rate of 5 - 10 % per year. In addition to this, the Bismo spring and Watulumbung spring is a critical contributor to raw water supply of PDAM Kabupaten Batang. If this decline continues or even increases as the case may be due to negative effects of Climate Change, PDAM Kabupaten Batang  will lose two of their most reliable water sources, with immediate impact on the supply of safe water to many people.

Therefore to overcome the problems it IUWASH together with PDAM Batang will implement reforestation programs and infiltration ponds in both areas is through PDAM CSR and Companies CSR

Third parties will only carry out the construction work construction Infiltration ponds in the two village to implement the Operational Cooperation (Kerjasama Opreasional/KSO) with community groups that have been formed in the Bismo village and Tambakboyo Tambakboyo (points 6, 7 & 8).

For those mentioned purpose, we are inviting you to submit proposal, detail Scope of Work please see : HERE

Thank you very much for your kind attention

Sincerely yours,
