Risk management of the impacts of climate change floods and water availability on Citarum Riverbanks

Abstract

Background: Water is essential for human life and is required for daily activities. Climate change threatens the availability of water and can lead to potential disasters. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct a risk analysis to minimize the impact of such disasters. The Citarum River Basin is significant due to its ecological, economic, and social potentials in West Java. Methods: This study employs risk assessment techniques to evaluate the impacts of climate change, focusing on flood risks and water availability. Data collection involves analyzing historical flood data, ecological assessments, and socioeconomic surveys. Findings: The study identifies critical vulnerabilities along the Citarum Riverbanks and suggests that effective risk management strategies can significantly reduce the adverse effects of climate change. Conclusion: It is essential to implement comprehensive risk management measures to mitigate the impacts of floods and enhance water resource management in the Citarum River Basin. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research presents innovative approaches to risk management specific to the Citarum River, highlighting unique vulnerabilities and proposing tailored strategies that have not been extensively explored in existing literature.
