IDEP Foundation - Bali Water Protection Program


We need it - We use it - We benefit from it - We must protect it.

 

The Bali Water Protection (BWP) program is at present in the first phase of its fundraising process, requiring an initial funding of about US$ 100 000 prior to implementation. To achieve this goal, IDEP’s team is making sure that the program is publishing regular updates, both in its fundraising progress and inclusion in the local and international news.

. January 2016: most grateful to 42 Gurus (http://www.42gurus.com) and Sosmed Ninja (http://www.sosmed.ninja) for making a short film about "Adopt a Well" both in Indonesian and in English. You can see both films on our YouTube channel in English here (https://youtu.be/-7eHdlZvJ6M) and in Indonesian here (https://youtu.be/WCH7ZrejTwI).

. BWP Youtube channel launch so that you may consult various techniques about groundwater recharge through rainwater-gravity-fed open wells: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMd6FJ_6DmFOLhqCf9mb50w. The wells we'll be designing with the university Politechnic Negeri Bali are based on the same principles but will have some modifications such as building filters outside of the well space for instance - and not inside or around as you will see in numerous cases - in order to facilitate long-term maintenance and easy access.

. 22 August 2015: launch of the program's crowdfuding platforms: https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/5zytb. (the film alone can be seen here: https://youtu.be/wK4m62BXU1Q). No publicity campaign planned for now.

. 5 June 2015 - ongoing: BWP received the official support and endorsement by the Governor of Bali and the follow-up endorsements since from all related key environmental public agencies for the implementation of our program (PDAM, BLH, BAPPEDA, PU, ESDM, etc), thanks to and through our partners university Polytechnic Negeri Bali. Some new well building programs are coming to light, This is fantastic news and a great and fundamental step forward as an important yet invisible part of our program  is to ensure that rainwater recharge wells will increasingly be an integral part of  all upcoming good-practice water management policy and governance. The urgency remains though as it is no longer 60%+ of freshwater reserve gone as indicated by our research in 2012-2013 but 75-80% according to a latest meeting organized by the Indonesian Association of Geologists (IAGI) last 25 April 2015.

. 28 April 2015: Official launch of our program through a press conference on 28 April 2015 - attended much beyond our expectations of which you will find some reports here below. Thank you to these journalists for coming so numerous!

. November 2014 - June 2015: Establishment and confirmation of partnerships and program parameters, budgets finalisations, communication material output

. January 2013 - June 2014: Program elaboration and partnership development
