Abstract:
Watershed Management (DAS) is one aspect of Water Resources Management (PSDA) in
Water Resources Development (WPSA), which seeks to utilize water resources as a whole
and seeks to control and protect water resources. Watershed management cannot be
separated from several problems, including the depletion of natural resources, pollution from
various sources, and land-use conflicts around the watershed. Intensive use or development
of natural resources will worsen the condition of the watershed. Tapin Regency is one of the
largest watersheds in South Kalimantan. 3 rivers are flowing in the Tapin area: Tapin River,
Nagara River, and Binon River. There are two main parts to this survey. The first part is a
case study conducted around the watershed to describe the relationship between watershed
problems and the condition of the community around the watershed. The second part
describes watersheds related to community management and behavior, based on various
publications, especially those that treat watershed management as one watershed. Based on
the results of the study that waste, liquid waste, knowledge and community actions in
maintaining river cleanliness had a significant 91.9% effect on Tapin river pollution in Tapin
Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The river management strategy to reduce the pollution
of the Tapin River that can be done is by improving community actions so as not to litter and
increasing public knowledge about good and correct waste management.
