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.
"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.
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.

Green Growth Program Indonesia is implemented jointly by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and the Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). The Program, officially known as ’GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program’ is led by Bappenas and involves a number of national ministries and sub-national governments (the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs and National Council on Special Economic Zones, Provincial Government of Kalimantan Tengah and Kalimantan Timur).
Green Growth Program supports Indonesia in achieving green growth that simultaneously achieves poverty reduction, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and resource efficiency.
The Government of Indonesia (GoI) has set a goal to become one of the top ten largest economies in the world by 2025, and recognizes that to achieve this goal in a socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable way, Indonesia will need to shift from its traditional growth model toward a green growth pathway.
The joint GoI and GGGI goal is:
"Indonesia achieves green growth that is socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable and resource efficient."
To achieve this goal, the Program Phase I (2013 - 2015) is delivered under three components:
Comp 1: Green Growth mainstreamed in planning processes, with three sub-components; 1A) mainstreaming Green Growth in the overall planning process; 1B) mainstreaming Green Growth in the MP3EI/Capital Projects; and 1C) driving investment towards green technologies or often referred to as GIMS (green industry mapping strategy)
Comp 2: REDD+ for Green Growth; and
Comp 3: prioritizing and implementing Green Growth at provincial and district levels (Central and East Kalimantan)
Capacity building is cross-cutting
The Phase II Program (2016 - 2019) has four focus sectors:
Energy
Sustainable Landscapes
Infrastructure in Special Economic Zones
Cross Sectoral
The overall objectives of this program are to develop strategies to integrate green growth goals, concepts, methods, tools, and practices into development planning, identify short, medium, and long term needs to design, plan, and implement interventions that can drive green growth and generate capacity, tools and case studies to facilitate the mainstreaming of green growth into national socio-economic development planning.
OUR MISSION is to accelerate the delivery of safe water and sanitation through partnerships that catalyze financial support and innovations for sustainable solutions.
Founded in 2006 as an independent 501(c)3 organization, GWC works to raise awareness on our global water challenges and shine a light on effective solutions across developing world markets. Today, GWC has expanded its network of leading water sector NGOs and Fortune 100 companies to create innovative and sustainable partnerships that fund a number of high-impact WASH initiatives across the globe.
The Groasis Ecological Water Saving Technology consists of multiple products that make it possible to plant trees (in combination with vegetables, shrubs or flowers) on dry, eroded, dessert and rocky lands without the use of irrigation and energy, and at the same time at low costs.
At this moment, there are more than 2 billion hectares of degraded farmlands worldwide. Most of these lands are wastelands and have no value at this moment. Nothing can grow here without the use of expensive irrigation systems. Until now. With the Groasis Ecological Water Saving Technology we can make those lands fertile and valuable again!
It is their mission to reforest these lands again. While they plant trees, they can solve problems like erosion, deforestation, desertification, poverty, the food crisis, unemployment, child labor, rural-urban migration, climate change (the rising CO2 concentration in the air) and water scarcity. Their technology consists of so much more than planting trees.
The Dutch government supports Groasis fully. In 2016, they were proudly named ‘National Icon’ by Minister Kamp of Economic Affairs. They are one of the few companies in the Netherlands who are entitled to use this title.
Solution for Welang:
- Community education (on water conservation)
- Ecosystem services
Later on, they were extensively used by the allied forces during the Normandy landings on landing crafts, so-called Rhino ferries, and at a later stage installed on pontoons to cross rivers in mainland Europe.
In the early 1950s, a license was issued to the United Kingdom, from which Hydromaster was born. We spent the following decades building 360 degrees steerable thrusters on this revolutionary technology.

Since 2010, the Holland Water Challenge inspires young international talent to take an active role in finding innovative and sustainable solutions to real-life delta and water problems.
On this page, we will be posting program updates about specific projects, events, partners and other relevant news.
INDYMO is a start-up that works in the field of the management of water resources and water quality. Our focus is on innovative ways of monitoring water quality and ecology using underwater drones (dynamic monitoring) equipped with water quality sensors and a video cameras. Until now we successfully deployed underwater drones in multiple projects in The Netherlands and abroad. Anew drone is currently in the development stage, and our goal is to make it an efficient and powerful tool, suitable for various uses and applications in the field of water.
We are interested in exploring how our technology can contribute to better water management practices in the context of climate change. We believe that, by collecting high resolution spatial data on water quality or, for example, bathymetry, we can support better decisions related with dredging actions, use of water (e.g. for agriculture) or other types of water management.
Solution for Welang:
- Data measurement and management
- Water quality measurement (ecology/bathymetry)
