III. The Reason And The Subject Of A Request 1. Reason for Retesting of Law No. 7 of 2004 on SDA
1. That Water is a necessity that is vital to the life of all beings
lives and therefore needs a fair arrangement in terms of
tail and its use so as to be expected water utilization
could be done optimal for all living creatures that are in
the face of the earth.
2. That the teachings of Islam affirm regarding the importance of water as
the source of life. The Qur'an calls many related verses
with water, as well as the basics of knowledge about hydrology

as well as as a natural phenomenon and as a legal object.
overall, there are many verses that mention the word water in the Qur'an
that is 63 verses as well as other words that have a relationship that
is very direct with water, among other things: The rain of 44 verses, A river of 54 verses, a sea of 28 verses, a waterhole that
amounts to 23 verses, clouds and cloudy, which amounts to 21 verses, winds
which amounts to 33 verses, and an ice that amounts to 1 verse.
3. That the Water in the Qur'an's view is the most important essence for
the survival of all beings in the face of the earth and the earth itself
alone as the word of God SWT:
ماء ماء فأحیا بن األرض بعد He is the one who has the power of the heavens and the earth after his death, and God sends down the earth after its death. Truly in the
so there are really signs for (the greatness of God) for
those who listen (to the lessons).
A similar statement ("with that water being alive the earth after
its death") It is also present in the letters of Al-Baqarah: 164, Al-Anfog: 63, and
Ar-Ruum: 24. Even when the Qur'an tells the story of the beginning of creation
the earth and the universe, God SWT clearly mentions that of the airlah
all living things were created
4. That even though the Court has given the verdict against the Invite-
Invite a quo through the Putermination Number 058-059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 and
Number 008 /PUU-III/2005 and declare a conditional constitutional, but
the definition of against the MK ruling not fully executed,
it is clear because it is not in spite of the substance
that gives foreign capital leeway to perform
management of resources water.
5. That such a state does not regardless of the historical fact that
backs up against the formation of the a quo Act that begins

The government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are
structural adjustment (structural adjustment). So that when the memorandum
understanding between RI-IMF was signed, there were a number of requirements
associated with SDA and the living environment, including
directly with the conglomeration and trade arrangements. Aside from
that there is a world bank also providing a condition for direct loans
relating to the management of other natural resource appeasement.
6. That is evidenced by the report of the results of the world bank studies
about the water resources in Indonesia in 1997 that
concluded that Indonesia needed to immediately hold a change
in its approach, way of view and implementation of source management
water power. Some of these changes are from the provision of water to
agriculture, a more equitable water allocation for other sectors; from
focus on supply approach (supply approach) to approach
request management. (demand management) and the supply approach
in balance. Furthermore, it was also recommended that the world bank would not
provide further assistance for the water and irrigation resources sector
unless there is an attempt to reform this sector.
7. That the recommendations are included in the restructuring program
water resource policy, or WATSAL (Water Resources Sector
Adjustment Loan). The program is associated with an adjustment loan
structural is quick disburse (liquid quickly) to address the balance sheet
Indonesia payments due to the monetary crisis in 1997.
8. Some issues arose in Law No. 7 of 2004 on
Water Resources related to private party involvement in
the process of management. This is not in spite of the water-meaning shift
which was previously a public item turned into a commodity
which is more concerned about the economic aspect that is ultimately oriented in
seeking profit. This meaning shift is seen in the setting
regarding the rights to the private water business that
appears in Article 9 of the paragraph (1), Section 11 of the paragraph (3) and Section 14 Invite-
Invite a quo.
9. That through testing the a quo and being disconnected by
the Court with Number 058-059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 and No.

(Putermination Number 36 /PUU-X/2012, pp. 101-102)
14. That with a new paradigm in constitutional interpretation
in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, it further shows that the Invite-

15. That private space in water management has been very large since
the publication of PP Number 16 of 2005 which shows original intent of
Act a quo. This is seen in Article 37 of the paragraph (3)

The daily minimum of the life to meet the life healthy, bullish
and productive in accordance with the rules of the invitation ".
17. That some of the provisions in the PP above show that
the government wants to rid itself of absolute responsibility
against the provision of drinking water for its people by giving
the spacious room to the private in water management drinks with
building partnerships with private and in development
the provision of drinking water. This would once again change the meaning of the water
a previously public goods that its fulfillment is
Government's obligation to water as an economic commodity where
only the people of the world would have been able to Access it.
18. That the Constitution of 1945 essentially did not close private participation in
the holding of the production branches that controlled life's hajat
many people, including in the hosting of drinking water. However
such private participation should not eliminate the meaning of mastery
by the state. Private participation can be conducted within the framework
cooperation and in the unimpeded staging stages
the country in the hosting of the water (drinking). This limitation
is not described in the a quoAct, allowing
space for the privatization of water. If so that happens, then it
is very contrary to the mandate of the 1945 Constitution, in particular Article 33 of the paragraph
(2) of the 1945 Constitution which asserts that the production branches that
are important for the country and the ruling of the living hajat people are
controlled by the state.
19. That therefore, in a critical legal perspective, legal politics
change in Law No. 11 of 1974 on Waters to Invite-
Invite a quo, indicates the presence of the pressures of globalization actors
in legalizing the Privatization in Indonesia. As a result, the right to water
in the context of human rights is referred to as a fundamental right (a fundamental right),

that ultimately puts the water as the very
profitable commodity to be traded.
2. The a quo contains the mastery of the mastery and monopolies of water resources opposed to the state-controlled principles and used for the greater prosperity of the people. 21. That Article 6 verse (2) and verse (3) require the formality process for

Guna Effort becomes a new instrument that determines the rights of the company
over existing water sources. With that trait, the Instrument of Rights
Guna reconstructs the mastery of water sources, including
a source of water that has been ushered in the common interest of society.
27. That the water sources belong to the public and are obtained in
free can be taken over by the private (individual and the business entity) with
the absence of the Guna Permissions. This is a formality discrimination
licensing and created a monopoly on the mastery of water sources by
private and group capable of obtaining the Guna Air Rights permit
against a group of people who have been using water in
together which are non-public Capable. With the source
the water, private manages and distributes it for various
interests and picks up the costs. Thus, water sources
are used for commercial purposes.
28. That even though the state guarantees the right of any person to obtain
the water for the daily needs of the daily staple as mentioned in
Article 5 outlined in Article 80 that mentions the use
water for the needs Everyday life and agricultural people are not charged,
but the explanation of Article 80 of the verse (1) states that the use of water
for everyday needs in distribution channels is provided

as clear as any person remains who wants to get water still must
pay. The state does not guarantee everyone 's right to get
the water for the daily needs and the people' s farm stated
Article 80 is not charged.
29. That if the public-owned water sources have been
privately held, then the water user has no other option
unless it receives from the private distribution channel. Users of the water
pay in full the cost of the company, meaning other than
bear the cost of processing and distribution, the water users also

many indigenous legal societies have yet to be established with the rules

could potentially facilitate the takeover of the water resource
that the community has jointly shared with the private
which acquired the rights to the business. Thus the requirement
this formal can shut down the existence of indigenous peoples and among them
takes advantage of the shared water resources that become

Article 6, Article 9, Section 26, Section 45, Section 46 and Section 80 in
Act No. 7 of 2004 which contains the charge

contrary to Article 33 of the verse (2) and verse (3) of the 1945 Constitution.
3. The a quo Act contained the charge that the use of water is skew for commercial importance. 32. That Article 6, Article 7, Article 8, Article 9 and Article 10 of the Act
a quo share the use of water into 2 types, i.e., the Right of Guna
Use and Rights Guna Effort. Article 6 of the paragraph (4) states: "On the basis

regarding the rights to water as referred to in Article 7, Section 8
and Article 9 are further regulated by Government regulations.
34. That explanation of Article 8 of the Law Number 7 of 2004 essentially gives
limits on the daily needs of the daily principal and farm of the people for water.
The explanation of Article 8 of the paragraph (1): " Which is meant by the principal needs
everyday is water to meet the daily life needs that
used on or taken from a water source (not from a distribution channel)
for its own purposes in order to achieve a healthy, clean and
productive life, for example for needs of worship, drinking, cooking, bathing, washing,

agriculture which includes a range of commodities namely crop farms
food, fisheries, farms, plantations, and forestry managed
by the people with a certain broad Whose water needs are no more than 2
litres per second per family head ".
35. That is, based on that, it can be suggested that,

a group of individuals and a body of effort. By having the right to effort
over the sources, the private water maintainer gains an advantage;
36. That of the right to be the basic instrument in Law No. 7
This year 2004 adopted the instrument "water rights" in policy
the World Bank's water sector. The right to, the same principle and its settings
with the water right instrument, is the basis for the implementation of the "commercialization of water";
37. That Instarumen rights use sets the limits of water usage
for the daily needs of the subjects and for the people's agriculture. Invite-
Invite a quo and the Government Regulation which will follow
provides a limitation for both non-use water uses.
While it is mentioned use of water for both non-use of non
efforts That is, with these limits, the shape and amount
the activity of water usage by a society is narroer than before
a a quo;
38. That activities by communities outside of such limits and
private enterprise, are categorized as commercial activity and
are charged with obtaining a rights permit. Use of water in
the category of rights for effort is charged. The more narrow the shape and
the amount of water use by the public in the non-venture category, then
the greater the availability of water for the use of the business
commercial. The limit of the shape and volume of water limits in the Invite-
Invite this, then the allocation of water for commercial importance will be increasingly
large. Thus the water sources will be concentrated to
a group of capital owners with commercial purposes. Community efforts
to increase prosperity and quality of life were hampered
with the limitation.
39. That based on the description above, the applicant concludes
that Section 6, Section 7, Article 8, Article 9 and Article 10 of Law No. 7 Year
2004 containing water use charges for the benefit
the commercial containing water as a commercial commodity is
contrary to Article 33 of the paragraph (2) and paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution.

Article 49 paragraph (1) Law No. 7 Year 2004 on stating:
" water company for other countries is not permitted, unless
provision for various needs as intended in
Article 29 paragraph (2) has been able to be fulfilled ".
41. That such articles may trigger conflicts between the river region
in particular between areas of the river that are identical to the administrative region.
The river region is identical to certain administrative regions,
surely it can be Suggest a selfish argument

As a result, it could be in the interest of the exploitation and export of water more
less than distributing water to residents of the region

is clearly contrary to Article 28I UUD 1945

states: if the setting of the priority order of the resource provision

45. That Section 29 paragraph formula (5) of the Law Number 7 of 2004
has implications if at a time the order of priority is changed and this
affects the individual and/or the legal entity that has been
given the right to work over the water, the Government is obliged to provide
compensation. While compensation from the Government comes from
The State/Regional Revenue and Shopping Budget (APBN/D) which

that the production branch that is essential for the country that controls people
many can be uncontrolled by the state. Therefore, the provisions of the Act
No. 7 of 2004 were contrary to Article 33 of the paragraph (2)

The SDA does not oppress those who are socially weak and economic

The population for poor residents especially living in urban water is
a luxury item and a rarity. More than one-third of the population's income
is poor earmarked to meet water needs as a result of
clean water channels in their dwellers.
The water availability remains while the need for water is increasing

The provisions of Article 7 and Article 8 of the Water Resources Act introduce the right to water that
covers the right to use water and water for the use of water. The introduction of the right
thus can be interpreted that at a time the water resource
can be tied up with certain rights such as resources or objects at
generally. Of course this is contrary to Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution.
The article 9 section states that the rights to water efforts may be provided to
the individual or the business entity with the permission of the government or
the local government is in compliance with its authority. This section is called
as the section that opens the commercialization door of water and the privatization of water,
and is therefore contrary to Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution.
Article 26 of the paragraph (1) states that the assistance of water resources
is done by prioring social functions to realize justice
by noticing the principle of water utilization by paying the cost
services water resource management by engaging the public role.
In this provision there is also a commercial commercial aspect of water.
The article 38 of the paragraph (2) mentions that the business entity and the individual
can carry out the cloud utilization with weather modification technology
after obtaining permission from the government. Whether or not the government has been
giving permits then artificial rain can be done by private. If still

The passage of Article 6 of the paragraph (1) of the SDA bill refers to it, "The water resources are controlled by the state
and used for the greater prosperity of the people." The meaning
is thus provided in Article 33 of the paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, but the interpretation that
appears to be variegated so that it is multifaciable.
The value should be any action in the field of SDA should allow
its captaposition:
1. The government was able to protect the entire nation
and all of Indonesia's blood.
2. It can improve the general welfare, raise the level of life
and the intellect of the nation, as well as carry out the world order

is the customary law should be the basis or principle in determining
the laws relating to the SDA.
The Quran says that water is a symbol of justice, a symbol
life, and a symbol of prosperity, it is important that it is emphasized
in Law 7/2004.
The paragraph 6 of the paragraph (3) of the SDA Act mentions, " The right ulayat of the legal society
the custom of the water resources as referred to in paragraph (2) remains
is recognized as long as there is still and has been established with
the rule of law. the local area. " This suggests irregularyness
thinking. The rights of the ulayat and customary law were either delegated or specified
with regional regulations instead of reducing or reducing the meaning
the customary law itself. Many customary or civil law values
that cannot be established with regional regulations.
The privatisation of water resource management can be seen in Article 9 of the paragraph (1)
about the right to use water. to an individual or
a body of business with both the government and local governments. Article
this is contrary to Article 33 of the paragraph (2). In fact the government can
strengthen in the institutional form both BUMN and
BUMD, so that the state has a dominant role.
The relative is about the potential for horizontal conflict, Article 48 of the paragraph (1) governs there is priority
or The monopoly in the distribution of water priorites areas
upstream. This is the case in which there is a lot of problems.
For example, water resource conflicts in the Losari region, Brebes, and
Cirebon, due to the construction of a levee in the Crucut River region
causes the water to flow into the Losari area, Brebes, to be
dwindled. And so the tambak farmers who were in the area were experiencing
losses.
Conflicts also occur on the border between East Java and Central Java,
that is in Tawangmangu, Karanganyar, where there is a Ondo-Ondo spring.
The river is dialled into the Magetan region because Magetan granted
compensation to the Central Java and Pemda Karanganyar.
As a result the local farmers were harmed and demanded that the distribution of the water
come first. Those in need without having to exist
base precede compensation.

The passage of Article 91 paragraph (1) Act 7/2004 shows the government's dominant role
in the settlement of the dispute. This is contrary to Article 89
Act 32/2009 which in order to resolve environmental disputes is not

also states in the resolution of an environmental dispute there is a right

that is great to the state to ensure that it is not only
fulfillment of economic needs, but the need for the dignity of life

Fulfillment Fulfillment for water rights, in the sense personal and domestic
uses, the principle is without discrimination.
The constitutional Test is not solely referring to the norm or
rules, but rather refers to the principle of constitutionalism.
The modern Constitution has three meanings, which is i) as the supreme rule;
ii) the existing system of government or the system of government that
does indeed apply; and iii) the It's the right of constitutionalism.
Many countries have a constitution but are not adherent to
constitutionalism.
The governments of communist states and authoritarian states have a constitution that
is long but not constitutionalism.
The UK does not have a written constitution but adheres to constitutionalism.
Inside the Inside. Water rights context, the first principle is how
the state can protect the interests of water rights, which is in the interest
the public to acquire water for the sake of personal use and
domestic or family. The second principle is for the sake of the right to
maintain life; and the third principle is health.
The constitution of the Indonesian Constitutionalism is not a liberal constitutional that gives
great authority to individuals, but rather social constitutionalism

The advent of the Water Resources Act is the pressure of the World Bank to

are based Dublin Principles.
The one principle in the Dublin Principles of importance is that water
has an economic value for all its users.
The economy is economically uncategorized public good or pure public
good, but better known as the common pool resources,
for reason i) is nonexcludable, which is the use of water by
one cannot deter others from using it; ii)
rival rules of rules, which means that water is not an infinite object
so that the water dilution by someone will reduce the availability of water
for others.
The water is not public good but common pool resources, but in
the legal interest should we sit down as public Good. Thus
because, i) there is almost no object in the face of this earth that is pure
public good; ii) the water economic nature of which rival rules. Thus the law
may prevent private mastery of water resources.
There are two principal principles Public Trust Doctrine, which is i) surface water
is a public property or res communis; and ii) country
is a trusty or a trust holder of the object public trust, which
in this case is water.
The current one is in its development, public trust finally includes the groundwater,
because i) were originally public trust doctrine developed to protect flow
water from mastery Individuals for the public interest to
navigation and fisheries are not disrupted; ii) then its water as objects
has been categorized as a public object, but the groundwater is still considered
in contrast to its limitations. Human understanding of hydrology of water

technology and lifestyle changes will result in water use

According to David Ricardo, the limitation of natural resources supply to
meets the needs of the economy to be subculcated by means of
intensification (exploitation of the resource) or by means of
. (utilizing resources that have not been exploited).
According to Ricardo the dearth of resources is reflected in two indicators
the economy, which is the rising price of out put and the extraction fee
union out put.
The increase in price out put as a result of increasing unit costs per out put
will decrease the demand for goods and services produced
by natural resources. On the other hand increases the price of out put raises
the incentive to the natural resources manufacturer to try to improve
supply.
The limited resources of resource availability, price impact combination, and
cost, will incur incentives to search for natural resources
substitution and enhancer of recycling, innovation development, search
new deposit, and increased production efficiency, so that
reduces the pressure/containment of natural resources.
Ricardo's opinion is not acceptable due to i) intensification advice and
ecencification in the exploitation of water resources harmful to the environment
and for life; ii) increase of price out put not axiomatic to
demand for water, as there are some absolute things in
non-negotiable use of water simply because of the reduced power
buy; iii) water is not the resource for which it is substitchable.
Although water as an economic object is a social reality that is not
can be rejected, but cannot streamline the water position as
public good, with the reason i) people buy processed water (treated water or
value added water) as an option due to purchasing power; ii) in
a society that has no purchasing power, treating water as
economic good with its market logic would deter humans from
gaining access to water for basic living purposes.
The reason for access reasons to the water for the basic purpose of life elicits
the idea of entering water rights as a human right,

Sociologically, the management of my source of water should pay attention to the function

in the public order of life, nation, and country, and
recognize the civil rights of the customary law.
judicially Article 33 of the paragraph (3) of the Basic Law of 1945 stated
that the earth, and the water, and the natural wealth contained therein
is ruled by country and be used for great prosperity
the people. In line with that provision, the SDA Act stated
that "Water resources are controlled by the state and used to
the great prosperity of the people". The definition of "state-controlled" is
including the definition of regulating and/or organizing, fostering and
supervising, especially for improving and improving services,
so that the water resources can be equitable. and sustained.
Similarly hosting water resource management need
pay attention to some basic technical thinking according to the natural nature of the water,
that is:
1. Water is the renewables that its ability
is subject to the natural cycle called the hydrological cycle. At the time-
when certain water abounds is even very excessive, and there is also the moment
drought so that there needs to be an allotedness between abundant water and
drought.
2. Water naturally amounts to a fixed amount, but its ability in each
places vary, according to the local natural conditions. There is a region-
a region naturally rich in water and there is also a water shortage region,
so it is necessary that human intervention to bring water from
the abundant region of its water to a rare place of water through
Water resource management.
3. The availability of surface water and groundwater affected one the same
another. Therefore, the management of both needs to be commissed.
4. Water is a source of flowing resources (flowing resources)

the country. Thus the basis of its management region must be based on
the hydrological region with regard to the existence of the region

"That although in the SDA Act the Right of Guna Air Business as stated in Article 7 of the paragraph (1), however, Such rights should be distinguished by the right in common sense. Article 1 of the 15 states that the Right of Guna Water Business is the right to obtain and work for water. With this formula, Guna Water's rights were not intended to provide control over water resources, rivers, lakes, or swamps. A general explanation of the figures 2 states that the Right of Guna Air is not a possession of water but is limited to the right to obtain and use or attempt a number of water (quotas) in accordance with the allocation specified by the Government to the United States. Water users. The concept of water rights in such a way is consistent with the concept that water is a res commune that does not become an object of economic value. The right to water has two properties. First, on the right to use the right to be in persona. This is because the right to use is a digestion of fundamental rights, therefore it is attached to a human subject that is inseparable. Second, on the Rights of Guna Water is the sole arising of the permission granted by the Government or the Local Government, and as a permit it is bound by the permissions of the permissions, including the provisions of the requirements of the Cloud Service. Permission and reason for permission can be revoked by the licensed ". (vide page 496 The Constitutional Court Number 058-059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 and Number 008 /PUU-III/2005 dated 19 July 2005).

not precise and unfounded.

Further the Constitutional Court has also given consideration that
may quoted as follows:
"That water is not only necessary to meet the direct needs of human life alone. Water resources are also required to meet other needs, such as irrigation for agriculture, power generation, and for industrial purposes. The use of such water resources also has a significant contribution to the advancement of human life, and it is an important factor for humans to live a viable life. The availability of food, the need for energy/electricity will be fulfilled, one of the ways is through the utilization of water resources. With the basics of the idea, the setting about water resources for secondary purposes is also an inevitability. Therefore, the regulation of water resources is not sufficient only to regulate water as a basic human need is a fundamental right, but it also needs to be regulated by the utilization of water resources for secondary purposes that do not lose its importance to the use of water resources. Human beings in order to live properly. Therefore, the SDA Act is very relevant to its existence (vide page 489-490 Constitutional Court Decree Number 058-059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 and Perkara Number 008 /PUU-III/2005 dated 19 June 2005).
In other words, according to the Government the presumption of the applicant is not

private hands.
The government argued that the applicant ' s presumption was clear
untimely and unfounded, because the SDA Act has been explicitly set
and expressly regarding the matters of the Government in
the management of the water resources, i.e. in Section 5, Section 6 of the paragraph (1) and the paragraph
(2), Section 14, Article 15, Section 16, Article 17, Section 18, Section 19, and some

Next to that government agency is drugging the water resources
also Mandated to act for the benefit of the community if
there is an indication of people suffering from water pollution and/or
the damage to the water resources that want to decipher community life as
an attempt to Protecting society. This provision is felt necessary because
often the abusers may not be directly related to
water resource management activities, but their activities can be
resulting in adverse water pollution. Society. In this
which is intended to act for public interest in Article 91
is conducting a lawsuit for public interest to the
perpetrators of water pollution.
In the lawsuit was conducted by organization, surely needs to set the organization
like what it is appropriate and know about matters related to
water resources, in order for a filed lawsuit to be a lawsuit
relevant to the issue of resources Water. Such setting
is required for the public to also get a correct understanding and
may channel its aspirations through a proportional channel. If not
is set up so, then there can be a problem obscurity and
is feared instead of helping the community.
It is in line with the Article 28I paragraph (5) of the 1945 Constitution, i.e.
that for enforcing and protecting human rights in accordance with
the principles of a democratic law state, then the implementation of human rights
is guaranteed, regulated, and poured in the laws.
The explanation of the Government above has been in line with

The concept of water rights concepts referred to the Water Resources Act has been appropriate
with the concept of natural water sources is a joint public goods that

The rights of allowing these rights to be Not limited to an
limited amount of consumption, would be the same as creating
tragedy for many people. And so the Government needs to do
anticipate, among other things by setting guidelines regarding the standards
of daily minimum essential needs.
The rights to water resources in the Water Resources Act have two properties, namely the right to
use of water that applies to the daily necessarice needs, for
the people ' s farm, and also the need for water for social activities. Whereas

The bill a quo provides significant protection against
daily staple needs of water, especially in community groups
low-income as well as for the benefit of small peasant society.
The bill a quo provides space to the community to
protect and defend its rights in a variety of matters related to
water resource management.
The deviation of the Aberration The provisions of the Act should not be appropriate
being dalil to said that the law was wrong.
The soul and spirit of the Water Resources Act has been in line with the 1945 Constitution.
3. Dr. Cicung Handoyo Mulyo, M. Ec. The availability of water resources is non substitutable.
The global demand for water demand has significant growth as of
increasing the population so that the availability of SDA is available. physically
relatively limited.
The FAO study shows that the primary user of water is the sector
agriculture (93%) and the rest for industrial purposes (4%) and domestic
(3%).
In Indonesia, rice production of 84.5% is produced from irrigation fields.
The irrigation water is widely used for agricultural sector. To
produce 1 kg of rice is required about 3,000 to 3,500 litres
water.
in accordance with Article 33 of the paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution there are two important phrases, that is
"controlled by the state" and "for the great prosperity of the people".
So it can be seen that the SDA is a gift
The God of the Almighty. Then the SDA was state-controlled and directed
for the prosperity of the great-great people. This is a political philosophy
management of the SDA.
Imbalances Imbalances between supply and demand will have implications
SDA is often not available at the right place and time.
The imbalance thus resulted in the need for SDA management.
There are several schools of view or school in view of SDA, namely:
ii) the view that water is a private item. Water is not distinct from
other economic items, so water must be subject to
the economic laws.

iii) view that the water is public good (public goods). Water
should not be treated as a private commodity purchased,
sold, and traded for profit. The water must be defined
as a shared inheritance so as to be shared responsibility.
iv) the characteristics are between the two.
The economy of the SDA values is determined by utility (power to be). The power to
is determined by preference. Consumer preferences may be expressed in
a form of a person's willingness or consumers to pay for something
so that he can consume a goods or services (willingness to pay).
Willingness to pay hooks in with the quantity, time, space,
reliability, and water quality.
The total economic value of the value is basically a value for a non-use value.
The value of the value is value that is not a value that is not a value that is a value that is not a value that is a value consumed, the "recreational" value, the aesthetic value,
education, and so on.
The principle of basic principles in calculating the cost of water resources, according to Rogers
et al, covers the cost operation and maintenance (OM); capital cost (capital).
The second sum of those costs is full supply cost (procurement cost
water).
RECENT Full supply cost plus opportunity cost and economic externalities will
be full economic cost.
current Full economic cost (total economic cost) plus environmental
externalities (environmental externalities) will result in full cost
(total cost).
The cost of the fee paid by the consumer for SDA in Indonesia is only partially
of its operating and maintenancefee. All investment costs and
infrastructure development for SDA provision is borne by
Government and are not taken into account in determining the cost of water services.
The provisions of such things are economically or financially resulting in the country loss,
but in Law 7/2004 as well as in Article 33 of the paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution
it is said that SDA is controlled by the state and used to
a great prosperity of the people.
The vote in the management of the country's SDA is probably financially possible. Loss, but
that is for the great prosperity of the people.

The view is not based if there is a view that the Act 7/2004
is based on or contains the commercialization spirit of the SDA. Because if the SDA
is commercialized then it should cost him very expensive. Further,
due to willingness to pay each person is different then there will be a dominance
between the parties that willingness to payis great against the small.
The conditions in those conditions the Government/State must take sides. to
provide protection for small people (household sector and sector
agriculture). It is such a positive discrimination in the utilization of
SDA.
This positive form of discrimination in the Act 7/2004 is at least two, that is i)
giving the scale of priority to water consumers; ii) the release of service costs
in the management of the SDA. The provisions of such positive discrimination
among others are Article 29 of the paragraph (3) as well as Article 80 of the paragraph (1) and
paragraph (2).
The Expert concluded that, i) the formulation of the substance in the matter of 7/2004
in line with state politics in the management of the SDA as set
in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution; ii) the laws and spirit of the 7/2004 Act is not
based on Commercialization spirit, but rather gives the pihakan
in the form of protection, in the form of a priority scale, and in the form
the release of water service costs in the use of the SDA for the society

In the case of Brantas River case study, the area of the river area is 11,800 km²,
while the existing watering infrastructure manages about 30% of the
water falling from the sky.
The one is wrong The utilization of the Brantas River water is for the plant
an electric power of 280 mega watts that contributes to the availability of
energy for Java and Bali.
The other heating of the benefit is for industrial and domestic purposes
(PDAM), the overall 28-point take for the need
raw water PDAM and 144 pick-up points for the industry.
The order to divide the water the Government already set the operator
as set in the 7/2004 Act, i.e. the form of BUMN. Next
is set up by PP 46/2010 with the task of providing the utilization service
water and maintenance.
The charge for the Brantas River is the operator given the task of managing the SDA.
Since the 1980s for the Brantas River region already formed Panitia

enhanced be a SDA management coordination team whose members
consists of 50% government elements and 50% non-Government elements.
The water allocation plan in the Brantas river region, water-heating in
the river Brantas is i) electric power of 1.2 billion kwh/years; ii) water
industrial default 0.158 billion m3/year; and iii) domestic raw water amounted to 0.4
billion m3/year. As for public interest, it is planned i)
flood control; ii) irrigation 2.7 billion m3/years; and iii) discharge
river maintenance of 0.63 billion m3/year.
Alocations for irrigation purposes, flood control, and maintenance
rivers are guaranteed and borne by the Government. Farmers do n' t pay
nothing to get a water service of 2.7 billion m3/years.
The parties to the parties that have taken little management fees in accordance with
Article 80 of the 7/2004 Act 7/2004 are a sweetener such as PLTA, industry, and
the default water user for domestic purposes.
The positive discrimination is made. The government is factual, that is farmer
not paying for accepted water services, but the water user for
the electricity has an obligation to bear the cost of managing SDA.

The Tirta Jasa Perum services have a small business unit that leverages excess
the water to be packed into drinking water in packs. The water usage
is no more than 2 or 3 liters/sec. Such products only add value

the water in the packaging.
The water component of the drinking water component consists of several things, among others
the cost of the material and the The cost of which is not material. The cost of its water components
itself is not very large, which is expensive because
uses material that is worth saving for food.
The difference in the price of drinking water in the packaging is very relative because

advertising costs. Could be the cost of an advertisement as large as the cost to
produce one specific volume of water in the packaging.

Based on such considerations then in the water company there should be
very strict restrictions as an effort to preserve sustainability and
the sustainability of water availability for the nation ' s life [vide Article 33 paragraph (4) UUD
1945];
[3.19] Draw that first restriction is any company
top of water should not interfere, rule out, let alone negate the rights
the people over water because of the earth and water and the natural wealth contained in
in it other than having to be mastered by country, also its designation is for
a great prosperity of the people;
[3.20] The draw as the second restriction is that the country should
fulfill the rights of the people over the water. As considered above, access
against water is one of its own rights then Article 28I paragraph (4)
determines, "Protection, submission, enforcement and fulfillment of rights
humans are a liability. answer the country, especially the government."
[3.21] Draw that as the third restriction, should remember
the survival of the environment, because as one human rights, Article

The fundamental things that are the cornerstone of the Court are considering
requirements of the constitutionality of implementation of the SDA Act in Decree Number 058-
059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 and the number 008 /PUU-III/2005, the Court
clearly and decisively laid the point of its consideration in Article 33 of the paragraph
(3) The 1945 constitution that states, "Earth and water and natural wealth
is contained in it controlled by the state and used to be as large as-
the great prosperity of the people". It is contained in Article 33 of the paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, in particular about the source
the power of the water, bringing the Court to the conclusion that access to water
is part of human rights. It was reinforced by the view
the international community reflected in the acceptance of the UN Committee for
the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of the General Comment (General
Comment) regarding the health of the health. as listed in Article
12 (1) ICESCR, which has also been cited in the Court ' s ruling, which
states, " The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize the right of
everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and
mental health ".
In consideration of the ruling law in question, the next Court of Justice
says, among other things, " The General Comment interprets the right to
health as an inclusive right that includes not only health care which
is continuous and decent but also includes defining factors

against water was its own fundamental right.

that all three aspects of the water's rights, namely respect, protection,
and its imprisonment, not only concern needs now but also
must be guaranteed to be synonymy for the future because it concerns
human existence [vide thing. 486-489].
[3.26] Draw, in Decree Number 058-059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 and
No. 008 /PUU-III/2005 The court states that, in addition to
as part of the rights, the resources contained in the water as well.
humans are required to meet other needs, such as for watering
agriculture, power generation, and for industrial purposes, which
has an important role for the advancement of human life and is a factor.
it is important for humans to be able to live a decent life [vide thing. 490.
[3.27] Draw that based on considerations that view
the presence of water from two aspects as mentioned in paragraph [3.25] and [3.26] above that the Court is in Decree Number 058-059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 And the number 008 /PUU-III/2005 then determines the requirements
constitutionality of the SDA Act. If summarized, the Court's opinion of
the constitutionality requirement of the SDA Act is that the SDA Act in
its implementation must ensure the constitutional mandate of the right
state control of the water. The state's control rights of the water can be said
there are when the state, which the 1945 Constitution is given the mandate to make
policy (beleid), still holds control in carrying out the action
the enforcement (bestuursdaad), arrangement action (regelendaad), action
management (beheersdaad), and the supervising act (toezichthoudensdaad).

December 2004, the Court further explained on how it functions

The guarantee that the state still retains its reinstatement rights to
the water is an indispensable condition in assessing the constitutionality
The SDA bill is only in the way that the following, as it is Confirmed
in Court Decree Number 058-059-060-063/PUU-II/2004 and Numbers
008 /PUU-III/2005, may be realized:
1. Users of the water resources to meet the daily staple needs and
for the people's farm are unburdened with the cost of water resource management services,
along the fulfillment of the daily staple needs and for the people's farm
in To be obtained directly from the water source. However, given the need for
the water to meet the daily needs of the community is not enough anymore
obtained directly from the source of the water being ushered in by the community then
the state is obliged to guarantee everyone ' s rights to get water for
fulfillment of the needs, including those that hang up
the need is on the distribution channel. With regard to that, the Government
and the Regional Government are responsible for the development of the system
provision of drinking water and must be the priority of the Government program and
The Local Government.
2. The concept of rights in the Right of Guna Air must be distinguished by the concept of the right in
the general understanding. The concept of rights in Guna Air rights should be in line with
res commune concept that should not be an object of economic price.
Guna Water rights have two properties:
First, the right in persona which is a digestion of rights and
hence attached to an inseparable human subject.
The embodiment of the first Guna Air Rights syfaf exists on the Right of Guna
Use the Water.

Second, the rights solely arising from the permission granted by
Government or the Local Government. The properties of Guna Air's rights
these two exist on the Right of Guna Water Effort.
3. The concept of the Right To Use Water in the SDA Act should be interpreted as a derivative
(derivative) of the living right guaranteed by the Constitution of 1945. Accordingly,
the utilization of water outside the Right of Guna Wearing Water, in this case the Right Guna Water Business,
must go through a request for permission to the Government whose publication
must be based on the pattern compiled by engaging role as well as
a society that is wide-breadth. Therefore, the rights of the Water Effort do not
may be intended as granting mastery rights to water sources,
rivers, lakes, or marshes. The Right to Use of Water is an instrument in
the licensing system that the Government uses to limit the amount or
the volume of water that can be obtained or ushered by the entitled so
in this context, the permit must be It's a bending instrument, not
instrument of mastery. As such, private may not perform
mastery of water sources or water resources but can only
perform a specified quantity or allocation in accordance
with the allocation specified in the permit which is given by the country
strict.
4. The principle of "compulsory water resource management service benefits
bears the cost of managing" must be interpreted as the principle that does not
place water as an object for the economy to be priced at. With
so, there is no water price as a counting component of the amount that
must be paid by the beneficiaries. In addition, this principle should
be done flexibly by not wearing the calculations
equally without considering any kind of water resource utilization. By
therefore, water-user farmers, water users for the purposes of the people's agriculture
are exempt from the obligation to finance the water resource management services.
5. The rights of the indigenous law society that are still living on the water resources
are recognized, in accordance with Article 18B of the paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution. The existence of the
provision of the exclusion of the unity of the indigenous laws of the indigenous law
through the Regional Regulations is not constitutive but
is declarative.

6. In principle, the water company for other countries is not permitted. The government
may only provide a water company permit for another country if
providing water for a variety of its own needs has been met. Requirements
referred to, among others, the principal needs, environmental sanitation, agriculture,
entertainment, industry, mining, association, forestry and
Biodiversity, sports, recreation and tourism, ecosystems, aesthetics
as well as other needs.
[3.28] It is balanced that based on all considerations as
described above seem that the control rights by the country over the water are
"spirit" or "heart" of the a quo Act as mandated by
UUD 1945. Therefore, the next must be considered
by the Court, whether the regulation of the SDA Act has been drafted and
is formulated according to the interpretation of the Court so that it guarantees the right
state control of the water It's really going to happen real? One-
the only way available for the Court to answer this question
is by carefully examining the implementation regulations of the Act
SDA, in which case the Government Regulation. By taking this step
is not to mean the Court is conducting testing against the regulations
laws under the Act against the Act,
but solely because of the constitutionality requirements The Act
which is being tested (c.q. of the SDA Act) is held on the observance of the regulations
