Abstract

The implementation of water resources management, including its business, is mandated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia to realize the welfare of the people in general. This mandate is regulated in Article 33 (3) that the Earth, water, and natural resources contained therein shall be controlled as much as possible for the welfare of the people. In the water resources Law Law Number 17 of 2019, the principle of its implementation is based on public benefits. So in providing a comprehensive and philosophical concept and meaning, it is necessary to examine it in depth. The legal issue examined in this research is the concept and meaning of the principle of public benefit in regulating water resources business in realizing people’s welfare. This is normative legal research using a statutory approach, philosophical concepts, and approaches by using legal materials, primary and secondary legal materials, and supporting legal materials. From the results of the research, it can be found that the meaning of the Principle of Public Benefit in regulating the exploitation of water resources is interpreted in terms of utilization, including in its exploitation, it is not justified to be oriented only to economic or material benefits, but rather immaterial in the form of social, cultural and emotional interests (the relationship between water and humans.), natural and ecological (relationship between water and nature) and ritual, spiritual (relationship between water and God). This means that water can be used for business or economic purposes when the community has fulfilled its daily needs.
