The Study of Watershed Pollution Control Strategy in Kali Dendeng Kupang City

Kali Dendeng is important river for Kupang citizen because the water resources from Kali Dendeng are used by the communities for domestic, agriculture, animal husbandry and small industries purposes. This research aims to; (1) to determine the physical and chemical condition of the waters of Kali Dendeng and to analyze the water quality of Kali Dendeng River and to determine the load of the pollutant based on several water quality parameters; (2) to identify sources and types of pollutants in wastewater and river water; (3) to identify the role of various stakeholders in Kali Dendeng to achieve sustainable use of water resources and to protect the environment. The study was conducted by measuring several water quality parameters such as turbidity, conductivity, pH, DO, COD, BOD, TSS, N-Nitrite, P-PO43-, oils and fats, detergents and coliform bacteria in several sampling points and distributing questionnaires to decision makers and communities living in Kali Dendeng River Basin. The results showed that BOD, oil and fat, and coliform concentrations in Kali Dendeng had exceeded the threshold specified in accordance with Government Regulation No.82 of 2001. In addition, water quality status using STORET INDEX analysis showed that sub DAS Kali Dendeng was categorized medium contaminated with BOD load = 29,448 kg / day and COD load = 56, 540 kg / day. The waste disposal from septic or greywater, disposal of tofu industry waste, and pig farm waste was the major contribution of water pollution in Kali Dendeng

The Role of Tradable Permits in Water Pollution Control

This paper was prepared as a conceptual framework to stimulate discussions on the role and applicability of tradable permits in water pollution control among participants of the Technical Seminar on the Feasibility of the Application of Tradable Water Permits for Water Management in Chile (13-14 November 2003 in Santiago de Chile). In Chile, water pollution is a major problem. Until recently, existing regulations to control water pollution consisted mainly of non-market based instruments. Innovative instruments are now being explored via a recent national law for tradable emission/discharge permits. The instrument of tradable discharge permits is one of several market-based instruments used in water management and pollution control. Tradable discharge permits are actually among the most challenging market-based instruments in terms of both their design and implementation. Experience to date with tradable discharge permits for water pollution control has been limited and mainly comes from several regions of the US and Australia. The paper at first introduces tradable permits as part of an overall taxonomy of economic instruments in the field of water management. In this context, three fundamentally different fields of application of tradable permits systems relating to water are presented: tradable water abstraction rights, tradable rights to water-based resources and tradable water pollution rights. The remaining of the paper deals exclusively with the latter category, i.e. tradable water pollution rights, their role and applicability in water pollution control

CONTRACTING FOR NONPOINT-SOURCE POLLUTION ABATEMENT

This study presents an incentive scheme to control agricultural nonpoint-source pollution. The analysis is based on a principal-agent framework with two parties: farmers and a regulating authority. Our incentive scheme proposes collective penalties as a way to control pollution. Unlike previous analyses of incentive schemes to control agricultural pollution, we suggest nonindividual contracts between farmers and a regulating authority, where farmers can trade pollution abatement efforts. Findings show that the information requirement of a regulatory agency can be substantially reduced if contracts can be made nonindividual.Environmental Economics and Policy,

Technical management techniques for identification and control of industrial safety and pollution hazards

Constructive recommendations are suggested for pollution problems from offshore energy resources industries on outer continental shelf. Technical management techniques for pollution identification and control offer possible applications to space engineering and management
