Background

A part of the Kelola Sendang project landscapes are peatlands already cultivated for various purposes, such as industrial plantation forests and oil palm plantations and carbon sequestration and storage. In addition, the area of ​​peatland is also used by the community for cultivation activities. The sustainability of peatland management is strongly influenced by the water system, especially the water level in accordance with the needs of each management unit. The dynamics of water flow in the canal flowing in a hydrological area of ​​peat (KHG) is strongly influenced by the management of the peat dome which is a water reservoir and water regulator. In addition, the construction of canals also affects the sustainability of peatlands. Canals created by cutting the contours will lead to water draining that accelerates subsidence and drought, leaving peat at high risk of burning.

In the future, the water demand in peatlands will be an important issue that should be addressed by various parties as it may create a conflict of interest between its users, As part of the solution for land fire control and sustainable peatland management, KS encourages integrated water management system in KHG S. Merang - S. Ngirawan as a model, taking into consideration the diversity of peatland uses, carbon pools and storage areas, plantations , oil palm plantations and community cultivation areas.

Scope of Work

1. Pre-Survey

* Collect Secondary Data, e.g. soil map, topography map, peat depth map, canal network, water regulator infrastructure, debit and water level measurement, climate data and water management system.
