ABSTRACT
Problems relating to the unsatisfactory state of water supply and
quality within the Citarum/Ciliwung catchment that feeds directly to the
city of Jakarta are reported. The various complex mechanisms of waterways
are analyzed, along with the dispersion processes that affect pollutant
discharges, with emphasis on iron and manganese. The analysis is carried
out by developing a conceptual model for the watershed, upstream of the
intake at Buaran Water Treatment Plant that feeds the eastern part of Jakarta.
Within the conceptual model, a
deterministic (numerical) model for simulating the hydraulic and
dispersion components within the Citarum catchment that feeds the treatment
works through the West Tarum Canal will be developed. The use of the model
should, in the long run, provide a valuable tool for testing different
cost-effective water supply management strategies.
