Projects
UFCSI (Urban Flood Control System Improvement) Pengendali Banjir Kota
Urban Flood Control System Improvement (UCFSI) is a flood mitigation project aimed at enhancing urban resilience through integrated flood control infrastructure, improved drainage systems, hydraulic and hydrological analyses, and sustainable water resources management. The project supports the reduction of flood risks, protection of urban communities and infrastructure, and adaptation to climate change by implementing effective and environmentally sustainable flood management solutions.
Strategic Irrigation Modernization and Urgent Rehabilitation Project (simurp)
An Indonesian government program funded by the World Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to improve irrigation channels, increase crop yields, and support national food security.
Hydrodynamic Modeling of Tidal River Systems in Indonesia
Conducted hydrodynamic simulations to analyze tidal propagation, water level fluctuations, and flow characteristics for sustainable river basin management.
Development of an Integrated Water Management Model for Tidal Lowland Areas
This project aims to develop an integrated water management model for tidal lowland irrigation systems through hydrodynamic modelling, water balance analysis, and climate adaptation approaches. The study focuses on improving irrigation performance, reducing salinity intrusion, and enhancing sustainable agricultural productivity in tidal swamp areas. The research integrates hydraulic engineering, environmental monitoring, and decision-support methods for long-term water resources management.
