The increasing population makes the
basic and secondary needs also increase. In spatial planning, activities in
order to meet these needs also increase both in the economic, social and
environmental fields. This causes excessive exploitation of nature, changes in
land use management that are uncontrolled and the carrying capacity of the
environment decreases. The effect due to the many parties that carry out
activities and exploitation basically causes the tendency for increased
disasters both in terms of quantity and quality.
Experts have argued that there is a
paradox between population and water, namely increasing population growth leads
to reduced water available for human needs while increasing the potential for
flooding. The floods in Jakarta and its surroundings and other regions in
Indonesia show that this paradox really happened. There are high human
interests and needs, conflicts over buildings versus green open spaces, and
building spatial conflicts versus water spatial planning. The large number of
buildings in modern times causes the green open space to be less and narrower.
Many green lands and water catchment areas must be lost only for the sake of
the moment, especially in the economic field without regard to the environment
and the future.
The Betterpad-Ray (Benteng Terpadu
Raya / Great Integrated Fortress "Mural Wall") model is designed by
providing green open spaces and water catchment areas as an effort to manage
water resources well, prevent environmental disasters, and arrange neat buildings
and pay attention to the arrangement of water spaces. Like functional permanent
buildings in general, the front yard is usually flattened with cement or paving
blocks. Building yard flattening is also
useful so that it does not muddy when it rains and gives certain decorations.
But it must be tried so that the water does not inundate the building yard for
a long time. So water must be channeled to waterways and water absorption sites
by regulating the degree of slope of the building so that it can keep the
environment and yard building dry quickly. God willing, Maket Betterpad-Ray
will make a building yard that will pay attention to the arrangement of the
water space. On the sides of a building or other land that has been flattened
with cement or paving blocks will have access so that water can seep into the
ground or through waterways. The water channel will be covered with a barrier
with gaps above it so as not to endanger pedestrians and water can still enter.
The Betterrpad-Ray model also has trees around the yard and green spaces to
absorb water. From the Betterpad-Ray water channel, water can flow to the ditch
and head to the river to the sea.
If it is realized as a center of
knowledge, Betterpad-Ray will provide a place for experts, students, and communities
who want to know about water resources and raise their concerns. The place that
can be used is Pendapa Peradaban (Civilization Pavilion) as a place for
deliberations and other buildings in Betterpad-Ray that can have space for
discussion and supporting facilities such as books in the library, projectors
for presentations, Wi-Fi, and so on. They can review the problems of critical
water resources and discuss efforts to overcome them.
The water crisis is very difficult
for human life because water is a source of life. Water is a gift from God
Almighty that is given free of charge which must be properly guarded. Do not
let the water become a disaster for humans such as dirty water or flooding just
because humans are too concerned with excessive ego. There should be movements
from various parties that mutually support each other to be aware of the
sustainability of the environment and water resources. And God willing
Betterpad-Ray will later be able to provide space for various parties to
discuss ways to overcome the water crisis, find solutions, and realize them
well with sincere intentions without corruption.
