Project Liaison for Climate Change (PLCC)
Short Term Technical Assistance (STTA)
The Indonesia Urban Water
Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH) Project (or, the “Project”) is a sixty-month
program funded by the United States Agency for International Development
(USAID) and implemented under the leadership of DAI. IUWASH works with government,
the private sector, NGOs, community groups and other stakeholders to improve
access to safe water supply and sanitation in Indonesia’s urban areas.
The
overall goal of IUWASH is to assist the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in making
significant progress in achieving its safe water and sanitation Millennium
Development Goal (MDG) targets by expanding access to these services. The
expected results to be achieved are: 2 million people in urban areas gain
access to improved water supply; 250,000 people in urban areas gain access to
improved sanitation facilities; and the per unit water cost paid by the poor in
targeted areas decreases by at least 20%. To achieve the above, assistance
provided by the project is divided under three main technical components, including:
1.
Mobilizing demand for water
supply and sanitation service delivery;
2.
Improving and expanding
capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and
3. Strengthening policy and the
financial enabling environment for improved water supply and sanitation service
delivery.
PDAM Serang District struggles with issues
concerning raw water resources sustainability, both surface water and water
spring. Based on vulnerability level measurements and studies (CCVA), Serang's
water resources is gradually decreasing, including those used by PDAM
Al-Bantani as their raw water source. The discharge has declined to 35% up to
50% from the initial discharge. As an example, in 1990, Sukacai water springs
has a discharge of 60 liter/second, comparing to today's discharge which only
reaches 27 liter/second (about 55% decrease).
Decreasing discharge and quality level of
water resources will worsen with climate changes that affect rainfall patterns
that tends to be shorter (decreased number of rainy days) but with a higher
intensity (heavy rain or storms), also the dry seasons getting longer and more
dry. As a result of changes land use and the climate, it will affect to the
stability of slopes and ground soil that can lead to landslides or land
movements that can damage various water resource facilities, and
infrastructures which will also damage PDAM's water distribution facilities
and/or other public facilities.
In order to ensure the implementation of
climate change adaptation activities in PDAM Serang District and PDAM Lebak
District, IUWASH will assists in the construction of 10 infiltration ponds in

communities to replicate in their respective areas. In addition to the
infiltration ponds program, IUWASH will also assist in rehabilitating the
intake pumps and generators in the Kalanganyar intake, which is expected to be
a solution for the problems that occur, which is ensuring service
sustainability.
The implementation of these activities will
be conducted by a third party (contractor), which will be selected in
accordance with the procedures established by the IUWASH team, both technically
and administratively.
The objective of this technical
assistance program is to assist of the process of monitoring and
evaluating the implementation of the infiltration program in Serang District
