Notes
Case Study : Sumberjaya, Lampung Province, Indonesia
Abstract:
Blessed with ample water, Indonesia fills a crucial portion of its energy needs with hydropower. However, the supply of hydropower has declined in recent years because of
increasing sediment loads in the water used to generate electricity. RUPES researchers in the upper Way Besay watershed in Sumberjaya. Have isolated land degradation, land slides and erosion as primary factors in creating extremely high sediment loads that reduce production capacity and dramatically increase costs.
