"Groundwater is invisible, but its impact is visible everywhere."
The UNESCO Water Resilience Challenge is a capacity-building program that challenges and inspires the next future leaders, especially students and young professionals from various backgrounds, to contribute ideas and concepts for their version of sustainable water management in biosphere reserve areas. This year marks the second year of the UNESCO Water Resilience Challenge with the theme of Groundwater.
Fifty selected participants from Indonesia and Vietnam will be put into teams, exchanging knowledge, mentored by professionals, and challenged to make the invisible visible! One winning team from each country will be invited to present their ideas at UNESCO International Conferences.
Introduction: Welang Basin
As one of the major river basins in East Java which has caused continuous flood challenges, Welang river basin is uniquely located in three administrative areas; Malang Regency, Pasuruan Regency, and Pasuruan City. The upstream region is located between Malang and Pasuruan Regency, the midstream is in the Pasuruan Regency, while the downstream is in Pasuruan City. Due to the various technical and social factors, it has been continuously flooding and caused a halt in the economic activities. Each section of Welang river, from upstream to downstream, has its own thematic challenges.
This page is dedicated to be the engagement platform between stakeholders in Welang River Basin and to share the Master Plan progress with wider audiences.
Pendahuluan: DAS Welang
Sebagai salah satu DAS utama di Jawa Timur yang kerap mengalami permasalahan banjir, DAS Welang secara unik terletak di tiga wilayah administratif; Kabupaten Malang, Kabupaten Pasuruan, dan Kota Pasuruan. Wilayah hulu terletak di antara Kabupaten Malang dan Pasuruan, bagian tengah di Kabupaten Pasuruan, sedangkan bagian hilir berada di Kota Pasuruan. Karena berbagai faktor teknis dan sosial, maka banjir seringkali menyebabkan terhentinya kegiatan perekonomian. Setiap ruas sungai Welang, dari hulu hingga hilir, memiliki tantangan tematiknya masing-masing.
Halaman ini didedikasikan untuk menjadi media interaksi antara pemangku kepentingan di DAS Welang dan untuk berbagi kemajuan Rencana Induk kepada khalayak yang lebih luas.
The Young Expert Programmes are open to Dutch Young Experts and Local Young Experts from any of the eligible countries. There is a difference in the selection process for both. Local Young Experts apply by approaching Dutch organisations, who conduct their own selection process, and Dutch Young Experts apply when new vacancies are posted online.
