Found to contravene the 1945 Constitution, and to the surprise of many commentators, the Constitutional Court recently repealed Law No. 7 of 2004 on Water Resources and reinstatedLaw No. 11 of 1974 on Irrigation(“1974 Law”). Given that the latter legislation is outdated, the government and the House of Representativesa re being urged to immediately issue a new regulatory framework on water resources necessary to provide certainty for relevant stakeholders.
Currently discourse is centered around drafting two government regulations regarding water resources management and organizing drinking water systems. According to lawmaker Ramson Siagian (Commission VII), the discussions on such regulations need to include input from the public and businesses.
“In addition to enriching the laws and regulations, such input can help to ensure justice and give support to the investment climate,” said Mr. Siagian, last Tuesday.
Supporting Mr. Siagian, Surono, Chairman of the Geology Center at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, believes that the new regulatory framework must be drafted keeping in mind the principle that water is a vital source for society. Accordingly, businesses must also be included in the drafting process of these regulations.
Furthermore, Mr. Surono is urging forthe new framework to be issued immediately. He is particularly concerned that the lack of a legal framework may result in conflicts in water resource management in Indonesia.
Sharing Mr. Surono’s fear, Rachmat Hidayat, from the Public Relations for Communication Forum of Water User Inter-Associations, asserts that the lack of a proper regulatory framework may harm national industries thatrely on water for their activities. These includefood and beverage industries, agricultural crop management, plantation, textile, chemicals, as well as the hospitality industries.
“This legal uncertainty must be addressed immediately. The government should issueaproper legislation that is in line with the 1974 Law,” concluded Mr. Hidayat.
