Abstract

This research aims to identify the existing conditions of groundwater management arrangements in Indonesia, as well as formulate ideal arrangements by comparing groundwater arrangements in Australia. The type of research used is normative legal research with primary and secondary legal materials. The results of this research show that: First, after the issuance of Law No. 17 of 2019 jo. Law No. 6 of 2023, Indonesia does not yet have special regulations related to planning, conservation, utilization and control of groundwater damage. This condition has caused water security not to be fully realized; several regions have been threatened with a water crisis with further impacts in the form of a decrease in groundwater levels, including groundwater in several areas prone to fecal contamination. Second, strengthening legal and institutional aspects needs to be done in the form of water management arrangements based on community participation. Participation here includes three elements, namely community access to information, community participation in decision-making and community access to justice. These three elements must be included in the regulation of groundwater in Indonesia so that it has binding legal force, and is responsive in resolving current and future groundwater governance issues.
