Water Resources Management In Small Islands: A Review of Public Policy Implementation In The Development of Nomaha Reservoir, Kisar Island
Abstract
Water scarcity in small island regions, including Kisar Island in Maluku, presents a pressing issue due to inadequate water resource management. This article aims to describe a holistic approach to addressing the challenges of water resource management and water scarcity on Kisar Island, Maluku. The research methodology employed is a mixed-method approach, combining technical feasibility studies for reservoir technology, policy analysis through literature reviews, and field assessments to evaluate the topographic, hydrological, and environmental conditions of Kisar Island. In the technical context, the article analyzes reservoir technology as a solution to address water issues, supported by the topographic and hydrological characteristics of Kisar Island. Additionally, the article examines relevant public policies, such as Government Regulation No. 7 of 2013 on National Spatial Planning, Provincial Regulation No. 16 of 2013 on Provincial Spatial Planning in Maluku, and District Regulation No. 1 of 2023 on District Spatial Planning in Maluku Barat Daya. Through this review, the article highlights the crucial role of policy in establishing a supportive framework for water resource management. Furthermore, the importance of local community participation in water resource management on Kisar Island is emphasized, asserting that active engagement from the local community is key to achieving success in sustainable water management efforts.
