VIVA – The Public Works and Public Housing Minister Basuki Hadimuljono conveys that the results of the 10th World Water Forum in Bali can become a global reference for water resources management.
“The World Water Forum has become a platform for discussion and exchange of insights as well as experiences for Indonesia and other countries,” he said during a press conference here on Wednesday.
He also said that the World Water Forum is also a place for discussion and exchange of insights and experiences between Indonesia and other countries.
At the forum, Indonesia can learn from other countries water-related experiences, such as flood handling. Otherwise, other countries can also learn from Indonesian local wisdom on water management, such as subak, a type of water irrigation system used in Bali.

"No matter what the result is, it will certainly be a reference for decision-making in water resource management," he remarked.
Basuki said the World Water Forum is the largest international meeting related to the water sector. The World Water Forum is an essential platform for all global water issues involving all stakeholders.
The forum aims to raise awareness about the current challenges in the water sector and discuss and initiate real solutions to them.
