Lead Research Organisation: University of Huddersfield
Department Name: Sch of Applied Sciences

Abstract

In recent decades the Jakarta Metropolitan Area has undergone widespread development and led Indonesia's impressive economic growth. But this development and associated urban sprawl has contributed to undesirable water-resource issues, such as pollution, groundwater extraction, and increased flooding. For example, the major floods in 2002, 2007, 2013, and 2014 have caused billions of dollars of direct and indirect economic damage, the destruction of houses and livelihoods, widespread displacement, and loss of life.
The Ciliwung River Basin (CRB) has been a major source of flooding in recent years. With an area encompassing 347km2, the CRB starts upstream at Tugu Puncak located between Bogor and Cianjur Regencies, and runs downstream into the Jakarta Bay area. There has been rapid development within the CRB due to the increasing rate of population in Jakarta, Bogor, Tanggerang and Bekasi City. The floods are of both fluvial and coastal origin, and are worsening due to a large number of drivers, including land subsidence, low drainage or storage capacity in Jakarta's rivers and canals, changes to the climate increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. They are also the result of a rapidly growing population, and land use change causing a growth in economic assets located in potentially flood-prone areas.
Traditional flood control is focused on structural flood protection measures through physical intervention. Modern flood management also considers prevention and addresses institutional and social aspects. It also extends from upstream to downstream areas to cover the whole river basin. However, the Indonesian context is challenging. Indonesia began a process of rapid government decentralisation in 1999 from a formerly strong centralised government structure. Prior to 1999, the state could enforce flood mitigation measures. Decentralisation has shifted authority to the local level, creating fragmentation among institutions at different levels, and making coordination more complex.
This study will consider different aspects of current transboundary river management that could positively or negatively influence the functioning of flood management in the CRB. These will include legal frameworks, roles and responsibility-sharing, modelling, data and information sharing in support of flood forecasting and early warning, dialogue and coordination mechanisms, and stakeholder participation.
The project draws upon a range of disciplinary expertise, including hydrological processes, disaster risk reduction, urban planning, public policy, disaster resilience, flood modelling and fluid mechanics, hydraulic engineering, and behavioural science. The team will combine analytical methods (e.g., modelling of key physical flood variables, urban risk flood modelling) with empirical methods that are based on the analysis of observed or potential consequences through the use of interviews, questionnaires and focus groups. The project has the support of and will involve several government institutions at national, regional and local levels in Indonesia. It will also use a community participatory approach that will raise awareness among communities at risk, and also encourage them to hold accountable those actors who are responsible for disaster risk reduction and river basin management. Through these approaches, the results and recommendations from the study will have been co-created, increasing the likelihood of uptake.
The fieldwork and model development will deliver a better understanding of how and why the current transboundary river management arrangements are mitigating or exacerbating flood hazard impacts in the CRB. The recommendations will contribute to improved governance and institutional arrangements in the CRB, and can inform improved models for governance of transboundary river basins elsewhere.

Planned Impact

1. Who could potentially benefit from the proposed research over different timescales?
The study could benefit actors directly involved in management arrangements on the Chiliwong River Basin (CRB), which crosses two provinces (West Java and the Special Region of Jakarta), and four municipal boundaries (Bogor City, Bogor Regency, Depok City, and Jakarta Provincial City).
The project has been designed in conjunction with local actors linked to disaster risk reduction and the Ciliwung River Basin. These are included as project partners and have provided supporting letters that recognise the potential of the research to contribute to their objectives. At the national level:
BMKG (Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics)
BNPB (National Agency for Disaster Management)
Balitbang PU (Indonesian Ministry of Public Works - Research and Development Center)
Bappenas (National Planning and Development Agency-Directorate of Irrigation and Water Infrastructure)
At the regional/provincial level, they are:
BBWS CC - Balai Besar Wilayah Sungai Ciliwung and Cisadane (Authority for Ciliwung and Cisadane River Watersheds)
BPBD (Disaster Management Office) of West Java Province
Dinas Tata Ruang dan Cipta Karya (Department of Building, Spatial Planning and Land Affair) of Jakarta Province

It could benefit wider basin stakeholders, including basin communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as well as private businesses in the management and decision-making process. These will be engaged through community focal points or community DRR champions. Previous ITB team experience in conducting PROMISE in Ciliwung River Jakarta 2008-2009 and PEER Cycle 3 Science Research in the coastal area of Padang City in 2014-2017 will be used to engage communities at the grass root level, such as representatives of the Community Preparedness Group (KSB), Scouts, Students, Local Red Cross, Community Women Network, Micro Business Network, Women Community Health Support, and many others.
Beyond the CRB, other beneficiaries include actors responsible for transboundary river basins, as well as communities at risk in urban and peri-urban areas elsewhere in Indonesia and internationally.

2. How might the potential beneficiaries benefit?
They will benefit from improved governance arrangements that that could positively influence the functioning of flood management in the CRB . Anticipated benefits include: the availability of an appropriate legal framework; clearer roles and responsibility-sharing; better coordination mechanisms; improved modelling, data and information sharing for flood forecasting and early warning; and increased participation of river basin stakeholders. Ultimately, this would result in better water resource management, as well as reduced human and economic losses from flooding. Data, models and outputs developed through the project will be made openly available for use in further research. The model for improved transboundary river management to tackle flood risk, could inform governance of river basins in other urban and peri-urban areas, both in Indonesia and other countries.
 
Description Flood risk modelling was conducted for study areas located in the midstream and downstream Ciliwung River Basin (CRB). The types of flooding considered are fluvial flooding in the midstream, and compound fluvial and coastal flooding in the downstream. Each type of flooding was modelled under various scenarios, ranging from regularly expected conditions, to extreme 'worst case' scenarios. The modelling revealed that in a 'regular' fluvial flood scenario, much of the inundated area lies directly next to the river channel, this is except for in the Kebon Manggis sub-district, where the inundated area extends east away from the river channel (and to an extent in Kampung Melayu). Flood depths, even under this 'regular' flood scenario are greater than 150cm in many places, demonstrating that even regular river conditions (that can be expected to occur on average every two years) may still result in significant flood depths. The modelling is consistent with the observation that Manggarai, Kebon Manggis and Kampung Melayu experience annual flooding.
Under the 'moderate' 50-year return period scenario, the inundation area increases compared to the regular scenario. In Bidara Cina and Kebon Baru, in the south of the study area, the deepest flood remains immediately next to the river, with some small areas of inundation extending away from the river channel in the north of the two districts. The greatest increase in inundated area occurs in Kebon Manggis, where a considerable proportion of the district is inundated to 150cm or greater. There is also extension of the flood into a large portion of Manggarai sub-district, however here the flood depths are lower (10-70 cm, with some areas of 71-150 cm).
Under the severe flood scenario, most notably, the extent of the deepest flood water expands in Kebon Manggis, where most of the sub-district is inundated to 150 cm or above. Flood depths in the east of Manggarai sub-district also increase. In Bukit Duri and Kampung Melayu, the inundated area is similar to that of the 50-year scenario, however flood depths have increased in some areas.
Overall, increasing the severity of the fluvial flood scenario results in expansion of the inundated area, most notably in the Kebon Manggis and Manggarai sub-districts. This area is particularly affected, likely owing to the backing up of water behind the Manggarai gate and overtopping of the river channel. While the
capacity of the Manggarai Gate has previously been increased, this issue persists.
Compound flooding occurs when coastal storm conditions coincide with river discharge. The impacts of compound flooding were investigated for the Muara Angke study area. This site was chosen as it was where the WFC discharges into the Jakarta Bay. To calculate the impact of the compound floods, discharge hydrographs of various magnitudes were combined with the sea water levels from the coastal model.
It was found that coastal storms have a substantial influence on whether flooding occurs in the Muara Angke study area. While regular river discharge does not result in flooding in the Muara Angke study area by itself, flooding occurs when this is combined with regular coastal storm conditions. This indicates that even a compound event of regular magnitude can lead to significant flooding in Muara Angke.
It was also found that flood severity in Muara Angke is more sensitive to changes in the magnitude of the coastal storm, compared to changes in the magnitude of river discharge. Flood inundation area and depth increase with increasing magnitude of the coastal storm, even when river discharge remains at regular magnitude.
In addition, flood inundation area and depth increase significantly more with increasing coastal storm magnitude, compared to the changes that are seen with increasing river discharge.
Severe coastal storm and severe river discharge conditions were combined to indicate the possible 'worst case' compound flood scenario (under current climate conditions). Compared to the regular flood scenario, the worst case scenario shows an extension of the inundated area to the west and east of the estuary, and deeper flood waters around the estuary. The same scenario was also modelled with the addition of a 1m storm surge, which contributes to significantly higher flood
depths and inundation extent compared to no surge. With surge, flood depths are increased by 0.8-1.4 m on average, and the flooded area extends even further west, east, and south.
The cause of the flooding in Muara Angke is not direct overflow from the sea, as the area is protected by the sea wall. Even during a severe storm with 1m sea surge, the sea wall, at a height of approximately 4.8 m, remains above the height of the water level (around 4.3 m). Instead, the flooding occurs due to the
elevated water level in Jakarta Bay, which prevents draining, and subsequently results in breaching of the flood canal.
Lastly, the impacts of climate change and land subsidence were considered. Flood inundation in the year 2100 was simulated accounting for sea level rise with climate change and continued land subsidence. This can be considered an extreme worst-case scenario, as it assumes continued land subsidence (at a
rate of 10 cm/year), and no alternations to sea defences. Two climate change scenarios were considered, a moderate emissions scenario (RCP4.5), and a worst-case scenario (RCP8.5). Under both climate scenarios, there is permanent and widespread inundation of Jakarta by 2100 which occurs regardless of storm
magnitude. While it is acknowledged that land subsidence is unlikely to occur at a constant and spatially uniform rate, the results indicate the extreme impacts that could occur in some parts of Jakarta should no action be taken.
The project also investigated transboundary governance arrangement to manage such flooding threats. The current governance arrangements and challenges in the CRB were identified through the synthesis of several inputs, including systematic literature reviews, and a series of interviews and focus group discussions with key basin stakeholders.
Indonesia has 34 provinces, that are subdivided into regencies and cities, and further divided into districts and villages. Since 1999, the decentralised government system in Indonesia has been in place, based on Law No. 22 of 1999 regarding local governments. The Law transferred autonomous authority to the local
government (city and regency level). From the perspective of disaster management, Law No. 24 of 2007 regarding disaster management emphasises that the local government has the highest responsibility to protect the safety of the people.
Water resource management in Indonesia is conducted based on the river basin hydrological units, and there are about 133 units across the country. The CRB is one of the most important and critical, as it is the longest river basin passing through Jakarta, and it also has the highest population of riverbank settlers in the city. In 2010, about 26,166 households lived on the banks of the Ciliwung river, compared to 45,106 households distributed across the 12 other river banks.
The ecosystem of the CRB is divided into upstream, midstream, and downstream. According to spatial planning, the upstream ecosystem is designated as a conservation area, characterised by a slope of more than 15%, no flood plain area, and a preserved forest area for water absorption. The downstream area is built environment, characterised by a slope of less than 8%, a flood plain area, and an agricultural area with irrigation system. The midstream area is the transition between downstream and upstream. In the downstream, the CRB covers not only the natural river, i.e. the old Ciliwung river, but also the man-made WFC.
Contrary to the decentralised government system described above, Indonesia's 'One River' policy places the mandate of flood risk management on the central government as part of their authority to manage each river basin in Indonesia. For example, the Ciliwung-Cisadane River Basin Authority (BBWS-CC) under Ministry of Public Works, has responsibility for water resource management as well the flood risk management in the Ciliwung and Cisadane river basins. However, owing to the decentralised multilevel governance system, there are multiple other organisations that manage flood risk from a variety of sectors, such as water resource management, disaster management, regional and spatial planning, and forestry.
The project identified the main stakeholders in the river basin. It also identified the main governance challenges to be overcome.
Many flood risk reduction regulations are included in spatial plans, such as land use regulation, structural mitigation development, catchment area preservation, and river maintenance. Compliance with planning and regulation is important for effective implementation. However, compliance related issues have been noted in spatial planning. This is critical in the CRB, as it has been identified that weak spatial planning can have subsequent consequences on other flood risk drivers, namely, drainage capacity, river capacity, catchment area, and flood control development.
The CRB and the Greater Jakarta area have undergone significant land use change, from mainly forested to urban land cover. Stakeholders suggested that this has not taken place in line with the spatial plans or the carrying capacity of the land, and that new towns have been developed without fully considering the
spatial plan. This has been associated with weak development control and economic pressures to develop. Weak compliance with legal frameworks is not limited to spatial planning, and has also been identified as an issue in other flood related sectors, such as water and disaster management.
Responsibilities for flood management are distributed between levels of government in the multi-level governance system. Hence, coordination is required between the levels. However, vertical coordination has been identified as a key governance challenge. Some common issues associated with poor coordination between governance levels include a lack of clear roles and responsibilities, and limited availability of coordination mechanisms.
Effort has been made to coordinate between government levels, but some challenges have been faced in implementation. For example, in West Java, Bappeda initiated mechanisms for vertical coordination between provincial and district governments, however, coordination was found to be constrained by authority and
funding issues. Similarly, programmes conducted by the Forestry Service for the rehabilitation of critical land have faced obstacles in terms of coordination between central and regional governments.
Nonetheless, successful examples of multi-level multi-stakeholder collaboration were identified, where the national, provincial and city governments, were identified to be working with local NGOs and communities for a fully integrated early warning system. It has been noted that stakeholders actively fulfilled their roles and responsibilities, and there was a common vision and shared perspective on improving the Integrated FEWS. Stakeholders at all levels were involved in a mix of multilevel capacity building activities, such as training of trainers and simulation exercises, from government institutions to very local communities. This raised the level of readiness of the government officials in charge of disseminating warnings and hazard information, as well as preparing communities better for
response, evacuation, and coping strategies. Participatory consultation was built in through creating a feedback process. The Participatory Feedback Groups attended by all stakeholders bridged the gap between government and community perceptions of flood risk reduction initiatives. The existence of a Technical Working Group consisting of experts from prominent institutions was a key factor for success.
The decentralised government system has shifted autonomous authority to the local level. This type of decentralisation is often associated with good governance and can bring many benefits, however, it tends to create fragmentation and can make stakeholder coordination more complex. The decentralised
administrative structure in Indonesia is widely considered to have hindered its ability to achieve an integrated, basin-wide management arrangement.
Cooperation and coordination of stakeholders has been identified as a key flood risk driver. This is because it can impact upon other flood risk drivers, such as waste and sedimentation, river capacity, catchment area, built environment, groundwater exploitation, spatial and development plans, and flood controls. It is therefore imperative to have effective mechanisms to facilitate stakeholder coordination. For some aspects of river basin management, coordination mechanisms have been established. For example, under Indonesia's 'one river policy', water resource management councils have been established at multiple governance levels. This includes the national water resource council, provincial water resource councils (Dewan SDA) and basin water resource councils (TKPSDAs). There are also operational organisations with a basin focus (BBWS). These councils provide a structured multi-level approach to coordination with a basin-level focus. One issue with this approach is that the focus of the coordination councils is on water resource management, and flood management is not addressed within this system.
While coordination mechanisms exist within the CRB and wider provincial areas, they have been noted to face challenges that limit their effectiveness. In the CRB, there have been two previous coordination forums, first is the Ciliwung River Basin Forum led alternately by the governors of Jakarta Provincial Government and West Java Province, and second is the Ciliwung Water Resource Management Coordination Team, led alternately by each of the local development and planning agencies in the basin. The Forum, however, has undergone reformation several times. Stakeholders suggested that the reasons for the reforms were a lack of a legal agreement and clear framework on how coordination and cooperation should take place.
In addition, actors were identified to only be concerned with their own interests, and that there was a lack of a strong leader to guide the forum which hindered its progress.
Beyond the basin itself, there are other coordination platforms for related policy areas, such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and water resource management that are intended to facilitate coordination between stakeholders, located at various government levels. However, these are also noted to face challenges, such
as a lack of influence and power. As such, the effectiveness of coordination platforms is not an issue specific to the CRB, and the presence of these mechanisms does not necessarily indicate successful stakeholder coordination.
There has been extensive structural mitigation in the CRB. However, to obtain a flood free CRB, nonstructural mitigation is also required, including flood early warning. Early warnings provide people at risk with time to evacuate prior to a flood, therefore they can be critical for saving lives and assets during a flood event. One common challenge facing flood early warning is that monitoring and detection for potential flood, warning production, and warning dissemination are handled
by separate agencies, and this is true for the CRB. BMKG provide weather forecasting services, DG of Water Resources PUPR and BBWS-CC conduct monitoring and detection via telemetry. Once a potential flood has been detected, information is passed to BPBD Jakarta, who formulate the warning level and disseminate the warning. BPBD pass the water level and level of warning on to the subdistrict and sub sub-district heads (Camat and Lurah) for dissemination to the public.
In the CRB, the flood warning relies on the detection of high-water levels by BBWS, and the passing of this information to BPBD. There is currently no flood forecasting service that is integrated with weather forecasting. Due to the involvement of multiple agencies in the early warning chain, it is imperative that
they coordinate and collaborate.
The second challenge relating to flood warning in the CRB is the response of the public to warnings. While there has been significant development of flood warning technologies in Jakarta, there has been less attention given to the more social elements of flood warning, such as preparedness and response. For example,
while there are both formal and informal flood warning sources in the CRB, those at risk do not always respond in desired ways. A survey of flood plain residents along the Ciliwung identified that resident's decisions to evacuate rely more on their knowledge and experience, rather than the flood warning itself.
Many residents also reported to prioritise remaining in the flood risk area to protect belongings, over direct evacuation. This was prevalent among those who live in poorer riverbank communities. Strengthening the social aspects of warning is essential if the end-to-end FEWS is to be established and to be effective.
Exploitation Route The project has developed a vision paper for relevant stakeholders that attempts to better understand the nature of urban flood risk in the Ciliwung River Basin under current conditions, as well as in the future. The paper also sets out recommendations for how the flood risk may be reduced through improved governance arrangements. This is being presented to basin stakeholders through final engagement events. The target audiences of this vision paper are the governments, businesses, communities and NGOs in the provinces of DKI Jakarta and West Java, as well as academia and the media. The vision paper will be of particular interest to those in government, including the governors, mayors, and regents of the administrations through which the Ciliwung River crosses, as well as the planning departments, environment departments, the water resource agency/departments, the local and national disaster management offices and public works at national, provincial and local government levels.
The recommendations set out to improve transboundary governance of the CRB are to:
1. Develop transboundary governance for flood risk reduction in the CRB through synergising local policies, regulations and planning among local governments who share the basin.
2. Synergise local, provincial, and national policies, regulations and planning between vertical levels of governance.
3. Develop multi-sector and multi-stakeholder governance for flood risk management in the CRB.
4. Integrate flood risk reduction and management in to the One River policy for water management.
5. Integrate flood hazard assessment into local/provincial policy and regulation for planning.
6. Update data for modelling and make it available for scientific and applied study and decision making.
7. Formally and informally integrate the role of community groups/volunteers/NGOs and CBOs within the pentahelix.
8. Build community resilience.
9. Explicitly address the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction actions into development plans.
10. To reflect and draw upon good practices elsewhere.

A separate briefing paper also sets out the wider implications of the findings for transboundary river management internationally. The paper discusses how effective governance systems are essential in flood prone transboundary river basins. This is necessitated by the need to address a broad number of flood drivers in an integrated manner, and to manage the river basin holistically as an interconnected system.
The briefing paper focuses on how transboundary rivers can be governed to tackle flood risk in urban areas. Its purpose is to set out the challenges faced in managing flooding in transboundary basins, and to make recommendations for how governance may be improved to support flood management.
Common governance challenges facing flood management in transboundary basins include:
• Sector-oriented legal frameworks with undefined linkages.
• A lack of horizontal coordination within the basin, leading to fragmented flood management approaches.
• A lack of vertical coordination between levels of governance, leading to inconsistent flood management plans.
• Coordination platforms that lack power and resources.
• Limited implementation, or ineffective design, of public participation initiatives.
• Changing political leadership and political will to act and coordinate on flood matters.
• Insufficient capacity (funding, staffing, technical) of local governments to implement flood management at the local level.
• Fragmented sectoral working.
• A lack of data sharing mechanisms across sectors and administrative borders, that negatively impacts on flood-related decision making and flood warning provision.
• Limited implementation of climate change adaptation plans.

General principles for river governance in flood-prone basins are proposed. They apply to both international and within-country basins within multi-level governance systems:
• Basin level management arrangements, with consideration for relevant non-basin-oriented sectors.
• River basin organisations with clear roles and power balance.
• Clarity on the roles and responsibilities of relevant actors.
• Complementary legal frameworks.
• Build the capacity of those responsible for implementation.
• Meaningful public participation opportunities.
• Monitoring and evaluation for compliance and data generation.
• Shared initiatives and coordination for flood early warning.
• Climate change adaptation as a transboundary issue.

Description The modelling of future flood risk and study of existing governance arrangements are the underpinning research for a vision for for mitigating hydrometeorological hazard impacts through improved transboundary river management in the Ciliwung River Basin. The paper has been co-produced with river basin stakeholders, helping to establish a clear baseline for future action. The purpose of this vision paper is, firstly, to understand the nature of urban flood risk in the CRB under current and future conditions. The second purpose is to identify existing governance challenges, and to set out recommendations for how governance arrangements may be improved so that the flood risk can be reduced. Two future visions are presented. The visions exhibit alternative realities of what the CRB may look like in the future. The first, an optimistic vision, where recommendations have been adopted, decisive action has been taken to address flooding in the CRB, and impacts are reduced. The second, a pessimistic vision, where recommendations are not enforced, business continues as usual, and increasingly severe impacts are realised. While each vision presents a potential future, they are independent of climate change scenarios. Climate change may be more or less severe in each case, however, under the optimistic scenario, the CRB will be well prepared to manage climate change impacts. The pessimistic vision represents a possible future where flooding worsens, regardless of the degree of climate change severity. The vision paper sets out that the drivers of flooding in the CRB are manifold and interconnected. The source-pathway-receptor model was used to identify the drivers. The source drivers of flooding are rainfall, coastal conditions (storm surge, tidal floods), and the impacts of climate change on these drivers, such as sea level rise, and the increasing frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events. Further drivers are associated with conveyance pathways, including the river's morphology and physiography, erosion and sedimentation, urbanisation, land use change, drainage system capacity, the presence of riverbank settlements, build-up of waste materials, and land subsidence. Flood risk is further driven by the large population present in flood risk areas, the social and economic vulnerability of those living at the greatest risk, as well as the physical vulnerability of flood control measures that receive the flood waters. Flood modelling enriched the understanding of the nature of flooding in the midstream and downstream CRB. In the midstream, fluvial flooding is expected to occur frequently. Even commonly occurring river discharge magnitudes result in high flood depths alongside the river channel, particularly in the sub-districts of Kebon Manggis, and Kampung Melayu. More severe flood scenarios demonstrate that widespread flooding at a depth of 150 cm or greater can be expected in Kebon Manggis, Kampung Melayu and Manggarai sub-districts. While in the downstream coastal zone the regular river discharge conditions are not expected to result in flooding, the presence of coastal storms has a significant impact on the severity of flood depth and extent.Very high flood depths can be expected if inland and coastal storms occur concurrently. The combined threats of climate change and land subsidence present a major challenge. Worst case scenario modelling suggests that Jakarta could be permanently inundated by 2100 should no action be taken. Governance challenges The institutions with responsibilities in the upstream, midstream, and downstream CRB at national, provincial, city, sub-district, and sub-sub-district level were identified, and the governance challenges that need to be overcome to successfully address flood issues in the CRB were established. The primary governance challenges are: • Enforcement and compliance issues with spatial planning have meant that development has occurred without considering spatial plans. This has been attributed to inadequate development control and economic pressures. Spatial planning is critical as it can have subsequent impacts on other flood risk drivers. • A lack of clear roles and responsibilities and limited availability of coordination mechanisms has meant that successful vertical coordination has been a challenge. Attempts to establish vertical coordination have been hindered by authority and funding issues. Vertical coordination is essential, as flood management responsibilities are distributed among governance levels. • Mechanisms for stakeholder coordination are well-established for water resource management, however, flood management is not addressed within this system. Where other coordination mechanisms have been implemented, they have faced issues such as lack of a legal agreement and framework for coordination, and weak leadership. • Flood early warning in the CRB is not fully integrated, with monitoring and detection, warning production, and warning dissemination being handled by separate agencies. In addition, there has been less attention paid to preparedness and response, and the public do not always respond to warnings in desired ways. The recommendations to improve transboundary governance of the CRB are to: 1. Develop transboundary governance for flood risk reduction in the CRB through synergising local policies, regulations and planning among local governments who share the basin. 2. Synergise local, provincial, and national policies, regulations and planning between vertical levels of governance. 3. Develop multi-sector and multi-stakeholder governance for flood risk management in the CRB. 4. Integrate flood risk reduction and management in to the One River policy for water management. 5. Integrate flood hazard assessment into local/provincial policy and regulation for planning. 6. Update data for modelling and make it available for scientific and applied study and decision making. 7. Formally and informally integrate the role of community groups/volunteers/NGOs and CBOs within the pentahelix. 8. Build community resilience. 9. Explicitly address the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction actions into development plans. 10. To reflect and draw upon good practices elsewhere. Although these recommendations are yet to be implemented, future sensitisation and meetings are planned in the post project phase to agree with stakeholders on actions that can be taken to take them forward. Having an agreed vision paper, is an important step on this pathway to impact, with a potential to significantly reduce flood risk in the CRB.

Title Hydrodynamic model of Jakarta Bay and the West Canal System 
Description The Delft3D modelling suite (Lesser et al. 2004) is being utilised to develop a coupled flow and wave hydrodynamic model of Jakarta Bay and the west canal system. Delft3D is an open source numerical modelling suite to simulate the interaction of water, sediment, ecology, and water quality in time and space. The model itself is developed using both freely available datasets and data supplied by project partners from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). 
Type Of Material Computer model/algorithm 
Year Produced 2020 
Provided To Others? No  
Impact The model was used to determine peak wave heights driven by storms for a range of return periods (1, 1in 10, 1 in 100). The model allowed the determination of wave heights along the Jakarta coastline which is key in understanding the effects of storms on coastal flooding and overtopping of the sea wall. The model was also used to determine the wave heights along the cost under scenarios of regional sea level rise. This allowed determination of what coastal flood conditions may be like in the future under climate change.

Results and Impact Professor Richard Haigh was an invited panel expert for The Royal Society's 'The UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development - science we need for the ocean we want' initiative, which published a report on how the UK can make a successful research contribution to the Ocean Decade. Further information and a copy of the report can be accessed at: https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/publications/2021/ocean-decade-workshop/

The initiative seeks to strengthen international collaboration to build a shared framework, across the science-policy interface, for the sustainable management of global oceans for the benefit of humanity.

In October 2020, the Royal Society's Global Environmental Research Committee hosted a virtual workshop, which brought together representatives of the UK's ocean research, policy and funding community to discuss how the UK can make a successful research contribution to the Ocean Decade. Professor Haigh contributed to presentations, panels and group discussions, which helped identify priority research areas to provide advice to funding organisations, Government, and research institutions. His contributions drew upon findings from the Newton Fund supported work on enhancing disaster preparedness, the role of human activity and land use changes alongside climate pressures on ecosystem services, and developing, assessing and implementing human and nature-based solutions to the impacts of sea level rise.

In June 2021, the Royal Society published a report that presents a detailed overview of the workshop discussions. It is accompanied by a short synthesis of the high-level findings of the workshop. The report identifies priority research areas that were designed through an iterative process. Research needed to support policy, and fundamental research questions were used to create four holistic and broad priority areas through which future UK research can begin to address the Ocean Decade. These are:
1. Connecting the deep sea to society to support sustainable development.
2. Accelerating participatory solutions to the rapid changes facing coral coast ecosystems and dependent communities.
3. Improving our capacity to understand and predict sea level rise and its extremes to enable sustainable adaptation.
4. Understanding, forewarning, and mitigating the impacts of multiple pressures on marine ecosystems and the services they provide.
