research-based action for a clean and healthy river
The Brantas Affiliation for Water Quality Management, otherwise known as Aksi Brantas,
is a public-private partnership that supports inclusive growth, health, and equity
by mainstreaming water quality in Brantas River basin management.
Information is power
Water quality monitoring is essential to gathering reliable, informative data for effective water resource management. By monitoring chemical, biological, and other water quality indicators, researchers, students, and citizen scientists are gathering important information to support planning, detect and respond to pollution incidents, and inform decisions related to conservation.
Our work is strengthening the monitoring network, tapping into new sources of data, and translating hydrological and water quality science into policy action.
Citizens are changemakers
Improving the health of water resources requires strong engagement with communities. Our work aims to strengthen community efforts to manage solid waste and domestic wastewater, participate in government planning and budgeting for water quality, contribute important citizen science, and develop new community-based solutions to water quality management.
