various stakeholder related to water resources management.The management of
river water resources can be perceived as an opportunity as well as a
challenge. The quantity and the potential of water which is abundant in
Indonesia to use water resources optimally. However, the development of river
water resources law still faces some challenges, namely institutional obstacle,
legal system and culture. Globalization in the free market economic order must
be faced by Indonesia in its efforts to develop law on the management of river
water resources. Privatization in the management of river water resources led
to the increase of the role of private sector in pursuing economic benefits. It
is feared that privatization will limit the community access to water resources
and will make the price of water is more expensive.An integrated law
development of river water resources based on local wisdom is an alternative
guarantee the community access and the sustainability of the availability way
to river water resources.
