The Water Future at Surabaya

         Surabaya as the icon's second largest metropolitan city after Jakarta is currently faced with the crucial issue regarding the quality and availability of clean water. The future of water sustainability in Surabaya would be saved if the power of vision and mission as well as funding a unified whole. This paper is a reality that the writer saw a number of rivers in the city of Surabaya, such as: Kali Surabaya, Kali jagir, or brownish Kalimas which follows the making of waste floating in the river water quality is so poor town. While one side of the river water use is almost entirely to serving the needs of industry and households in the city of Surabaya. Sophistication of tools for me recycle sewage and waste water from an alternative is not enough to save water in major rivers in this town in order of fitness. Some time ago when I fill the tub, pungent aroma of the water that comes out so pronounced, the color is somewhat murky, and the precipitate appeared when the leave for a long time. So, no one would if it were a precursor to the emergence of diarrheal diseases and itching in the human body.

Local Wisdom to Sow

     In contrast to other areas in East Java, Lumajang not only famous for its Banana Supreme and iron sand. But more than that, the existence of the zone located at the foot of Mount Semeru, it is also storing a collection of natural wanawisata hitherto preserved, and one of them is a bamboo forest. Some sources said the forest is located in the Village Sumbermujur, District Candipuro or approximately 30 miles from the center of this district has its own charm because of the terms of the arrangement quite neatly along the village street. Estimated at more than 8 species of bamboo, which until now managed by the residents, including the yellow bamboo, bamboo petung, ori bamboo, bamboo china and so forth. Availability of tourism assets is one of the many tourist attractions in Lumajang apart: Mbambang Beach, the Baths Selokambang, Goa Drops, Triangles Ranu and many other places.

Not Just a City Park

      Talking about the reality of the environment as the city of Surabaya will never recede to be discussed or at least more interesting if the seminar. The rapid development and the increasing population living in this city, shows that the center of economy and Surabaya in East Java administration. In line with these conditions, must also have an impact on the other side of urban ecosystems is still not fully addressed. Increased temperatures due to the circulation of carbon gas emissions (CO2) emissions arising from industrial activities and vehicle traffic must be answered with concrete actions so that the pollution is not widespread. Slowly but surely, it was made clear by their staff Surabaya City Government to immediately re-saving the environment and greening the city of Surabaya. Rows of a city park that also serves as a separator in the road like Jalan Kertajaya, Darmo, HR Mohammed, or the District Office and the Bukit Darmo made the city parks such as: Mundu Park, Garden hump, or park at Jalan Sulawesi is a former gas station one of the efforts made by local government in reducing air pollution.

Managing Rivers Wisely

          It is owned by the weakest man in keeping the environment clean one of them is a matter of throwing garbage everywhere. Looks like this one until the culture whenever it goes on, though it was often campaigned but no change at all. Efforts have been done by writing a slogan on the mass media, pamphlets, brochures, billboards, or a billboard with a large writing then it is placed on the side of the road or intersection. But basically we own a "difficult" to change the habits that one, so the call is sometimes pass by. It may be that, before the days of the almost instantaneous, as now, was once the behavior of the garbage in the "practical" to ditches or rivers already been done. Started to drink water from bottles, plastic bags, cardboard, dead rat, until the liquid and solid wastes from households are all clearly visible. Not to mention the sediment deposits that are not regularly do take deposits of sediment that causes the flow of rivers and ditches are not functioning properly, so that its impact was we all already know, namely flooding.
