Technology Needs for Lake Management in Indonesia

When managing the transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs), it is important to identify the EST needs of each recipient country and region, as well as appropriate enabling measures necessary to facilitate and accelerate transfers. With this in mind, a workshop on technology needs for lake management in Indonesia was held in Jakarta on 16-17 January 1996, jointly organized by UNEP IETC and BPP Technologi (Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology) of the Government of Indonesia. Using six case studies of lakes in Indonesia and documenting local experience, the Jakarta workshop aimed to identify technology needs and effective modalities for and barriers to technology transfer.

On the first day of the workshop, based on presentations and discussions of the case studies, the approximately fifty participants shared views in an effort to determine issues relevant to EST transfer, noting common and specific concerns related to technology transfer. Following up on the first day's conclusions, the second day was devoted to understanding four key elements for each lake: (a) the role of lake; (b) environmental problems and issues; (c) technical aspects of technology needs; and (d) management aspects of technology needs. This session employed team members of which were concerned with a particular lake as means of focusing discussions. This enabled clear identification of national issues and local concerns with respect to technology needs for lake management in Indonesia. It was also suggested that matrixes indicating priorities for components of the four key elements be further developed as tool for more in-depth examination and the development of practical solutions for consideration by decision-makers.

Prof. M. T. Zen, Deputy Chairman for National Resources Development of BPPT and host of the workshop, stressed the importance of the sessions and spoke of an application of the outputs to lake management on a regional basis.
