Abstract

This paper addresses the challenges in discussing renewal of clean water in the city of Cilegon in 2025. The predictions submitted by the Ministry of National Development Planning and also the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, reminded about the possibility of a deficit in water resources in the city of Cilegon, then for the City of Cilegon it will no longer be fulfilled. The water crisis which is expected to have an impact on industrial decline and a decline in the level of society must be avoided as far as possible. This research uses a dynamic system method that is able to model the water movement of the City of Cilegon, to then build a scenario of anticipation of the water crisis in 2025. This study discusses how to arrange the water planning of the City of Cilegon which can be used by using water resources in the City of Cilegon independently and sustainably. These findings are expected to contribute to building an agreed city water resources governance scenario to support the improvement of future crises. This study discusses why removing water in the City of Cilegon, the Government of the City of Cilegon needs to improve its water using new water sources, namely from sea water and rain water, and helps support groundwater that has been changed in price.
