The information on fish fauna in Belitung Island is still lacking. The study of ichthyofauna of Belitung Island was conducted in Pebruary-March 2002 and August 2003, using survey methods. The aims of studies are to know species richness, potency, local distribution, and related aspects. The results were recorded 60 species belonging to 27 families. Cyprinidae is dominant family with 13 species. The fishes were found almost have potency of ornamental fish. It was found that Eirmotus octzona, Acanthopsoides robertsi, Pangio shelfordii, Silurichthys hasseltii, Parakysis verrucosa, and Gymnochanda filamentosa extend their range to Belitung (new record for Belitung). Status, potency and utilization of fishes, new records distribution of geography, social economic and conservation aspects are represented in this paper. The information about freshwater fishes from Belitung Island is still rare. Last information was reported by de Beaufort in 1939. The objective of the research is to reveal the diversity of fishes in Belitung Island and to reveal their potency and utilization, distribution, abundance, and related aspect for their management and conservation. The research was conducted at Belitung Island, Province Archipelago of Bangka Belitung, between 2002 and 2003. Location of research in Lenggang River, Buding, Balok, Kembiri, Pala, and Air Raya Gunung Tajam. Survey method is used in this research. Specimens were collected from 21 location in six rivers by electrofishing (12 volt), gillnet (mesh size ½', ¾', and 1'), cast net, and hook. Fish specimens were fixed by using formalin 10% then soaked in alcohol 70%. All specimens are deposited at Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, Bogor, as permanent collections. Fish identification was based on Weber and de Beaufort (1916; 1936; 1953; 1965), Inger & Chin (1962), Roberts (1989), Kottelat et al. (1993), and Eschmeyer (1998). In general, these established localities followed the variety of the landscape available such as: primary forest, secondary forest, 'kerangas' forest, agroforestry, villages, and estuary environments. Informal interview was conducted with the villagers especially with those who were familiar with fishing activities. There results were recorded 60 species belonging to 27 families. Cyprinidae is dominant family with 13 species. The fishes were found almost have potency of ornamental fish. It was found that Eirmotus octozona, Acanthopsoides robertsi, Pangio shelfordii, Silurichthys hasseltii, Parakysis verrucosa, and Gymnochanda c.f. filamentosa extend their range to Belitung (new record for Belitung). There were Tengkelesa'/Arwana (Scleropages formosus) in Lenggang River. According to the CITES, Tengkelesa' status is in Appendix I with a note captivity in Appendix II. Scleropages formosus has been protected by regulation, while according to the Governmental Legislation No.7 in 1999. Lenggang River is one of the largest water catchment area in Belitung Island. It has much more variation of riparian habitat than the other river. The number of species and family fish decreased closer to the river mouth. Factor which may influence this are the presence of plant material, the presence of a shading canopy, and the presence dam. The range of local distribution is 0,64-5,13%. Puntius gemellus is widest distributed and most abundanced. Segment of Lenggang River would conserve the continuing populations of Scleropages formosus. This habitat establishing small harverst reserves or fishery reserves (called 'Suaka Perikanan), where local community could manage this reservat could be perfomed. Activities related to this conservation habitat, controlled fishing activity or environmentally sound fishing should be encouraged. In line with the effort to increase individual income in the area, segment of the river from the mouth of the river could function as scientific and/ or adventurous tourism.

Semakin meningkatnya populasi, semakin besar pula kebutuhan akan air minum sehingga ketersediaan air bersih pun semakin berkurang. Desalinasi berbasis tenaga matahari merupakan salah satu solusi aplikatif untuk menghasilkan air tawar di Indonesia. Sebagai negara kepulauan dan berada di bawah garis khatulistiwa, Indonesia memiliki potensi dalam mengembangkan desalinasi berbasis tenaga matahari dimana kedua sumber daya baik tenaga matahari dan air laut cukup berlimpah di negara ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan sederhana distiler dengan model seperti solar kolektor dan memanfaatkan fenomena natural evaporasi-kondensasi. Distiler pada penelitian ini dimanufaktur dengan menggunakan material sederhana yang sudah banyak berada di pasaran seperti aluminum, kayu, kaca, plastik filem, dan rangka lemari. Penelitian ini berkonsentrasi dalam kemampuan distiler dalam menyerap energi kalor matahari dan penggunaan energi kalor tersebut dalam proses kondensasi guna memproduksi air tawar. Pengukuran volume dilakukan selama 4 hari pada intensitas matahari yang berbeda-beda di setiap harinya. Melalui penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa intensitas matahari telah ada saat cahaya matahari mulai terlihat di pagi hari pada pukul 6 pagi dan difusi energi kalor matahari telah mulai dimanfaatkan pada pagi hari tersebut. Akan tetapi kinerja distiller masih sangat rendah, hal ini terlihat dari angka efisiensi yang hanya mencapai 3,81%. Rendahnya kinerja distiller disebabkan antara lain losses yang terjadi pada distiller dari segi desain, proses kerja, maupun cuaca. Karenanya dibutuhkan rekayasa pada distiller berupa perubahan variabel fisis maupun teknis. ......The increasing population, the greater the need for drinking water, so the availability of clean water also decreases. Desalination solar energy is one solution applicable to produce freshwater in Indonesia. As an archipelago and is located below the equator, Indonesia has the potential to develop solar desalination where both resources both solar and ocean water is quite abundant in this country. This study used a simple design of distiller with model such as solar collector and utilize the natural phenomenon of evaporation-condensation. The distiller in this study was manufactured by using a common material thas has been on the market such as aluminum, wood, glass, plastic film, and iron frame. This study concentrates on the ability of distiller to absorb solar heat energy and the use of that heat energy in the process of condensation to produce freshwater. Volume measurement of the produces water performed during 4 days in the sun‟s intensity varying each day. Through this study we can conclude that the intensity of the sun has been there as the sunlight began to be seen in the morning at 6 am and diffused solar heat energy has begun to be exploited in that early morning. However, distiller's performance is still very low, as seen from the efficiency figures which only reached 3.81%. The low performance of distiller due among other losses that occur in the distiller in terms of design, work processes, and the weather. Hence the distiller be required engineering changes by changing the variables both physical and technical.

Dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, pemenuhan kebutuhan air bersih untuk keperluan sehari-hari menjadi salah satu permasalahan utama dunia. Desalinasi berbasis tenaga matahari merupakan salah satu solusi aplikatif untuk menghasilkan air tawar di Indonesia. Sebagai negara kepulauan dan berada di bawah garis khatulistiwa, Indonesia memiliki potensi dalam mengembangkan desalinasi berbasis tenaga matahari dimana kedua sumber daya baik tenaga matahari dan air laut cukup berlimpah di negara ini. Sebelumnya telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai desalinasi ini, namun hasil yang didapatkan masih relatif rendah, yaitu pada angka 150 ml/m2/hari. Penelitian dan perancangan ini bertujuan membuat prototipe serta meningkatkan performa dari alat desalinasi yang menghasilkan air tawar dan garam. Prototyping ini dilakukan dengan merekayasa beberapa faktor yang berpengaruh, seperti sudut kemiringan, kedalaman air, permukaan kondenser dan absorber, serta aplikasi double deck pada prototipe. Berdasarkan prototipe yang telah di uji coba, hasil air maksimal yang didapatkan mencapai 900 ml/m2/hari dari 6500 ml air laut. ......In recent decade the fulfillment of the need for clean water for everyday purposes becomes one of the world's major proble,. Including Indonesia. Desalination solar energy is one solution applicable to produce freshwater in Indonesia. As an archipelago and is located below the equator, Indonesia has the potential to develop solar desalination where both resources both solar and ocean water is quite abundant in this country.It had been researched before, but it is still has low performance. The freshwater result is still in 150 ml m2 day. This research is aiming to make a prototype and increase the performance of desalination, which produce fresh water and salt. There are some factors that influece this prototyping, like the angle, water depth, absorber dan condenser surface, and double deck system on prototype. The method of salt rsquo s measurement is waiting seawater becomes dry, take it, and measure the weight of salt. Based on running, it can produce 900 ml m2 day freshwater from 6500 mililiters seawater.

Turki, Suriah, dan Irak merupakan tiga negara yang dilintasi oleh sungai Efrat dan Tigris. Sejak dibangunnya bendungan-bendungan modern di Turki dan Suriah pada 1960-an, konflik ketegangan muncul di antara ketiga negara. Akan tetapi, munculnya Arab Spring di Tunisia kemudian memicu pemberontakan rakyat Suriah terhadap rezim yang dictator dan represif sehingga menyebabkan perang saudara di Suriah. Sedangkan di Irak, instabilitas politik telah terjadi sejak invasi Amerika Serikat tahun 2003. Instabilitas yang terjadi Suriah dan Irak kemudian memberikan celah kepada kelompok-kelompok Violent Non-state Actors untuk mengambil alih beberapa fasilitas air yang ada di Suriah dan Irak. Sehingga kelompok-kelompok tersebut menggunakan fasilitas air tersebut untuk mencapai kepentingan mereka baik ekonomi maupun politik, bahkan mereka juga menjadikan air sebagai alat penyerangan dan pertahanan. Di sisi lain, Turki harus menghadapi ancaman dari PKK, kelompok separatis Kurdi yang milisinya juga terdapat di Suriah dan Irak. Hal ini tentu menjadi babak baru dalam sejarah konflik air tawar di kawasan sungai Efrat dan Tigris. Tulisan ini membahas faktor penyebab konflik air tawar di kawasan sungai Efrat dan Tigris pasca-Arab Spring, serta dinamika konflik dan peleraiannya. Tulisan ini menggunakan teori hidropolitik dan Metodologi deskriptif kualitatif dengan mengumpulkan data dari Jurnal, buku dan website terkait. ......Turkey, Syria, and Iraq are three countries where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers intersect. Tension conflicts have arisen between the three countries since the construction of modern dams in Turkey and Syria in the 1960s. However, the arrival of the Arab Spring in Tunisia subsequently triggered a rebellion of the Syrian people against a dictatorial and oppressive regime, causing a civil war in Syria. Meanwhile, political instability has surfaced in Iraq since the invasion of the United States in 2003. The instability experienced in Syria and Iraq provided an opportunity for violent non-state actor groups to hijack several water services in Syria and Iraq. These groups may even use water as a means of attack and defense to use water facilities to claim economic and political interests. Meanwhile, Turkey faces a threat from the  Kurdish separatist group PKK, which also has militias in Syria and Iraq. This is certainly a new chapter in the history of freshwater conflicts on the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. This paper discusses the causes of freshwater conflicts in the Euphrates and Tigris river basins after the Arab Spring,  the dynamics of the conflict, and its resolution. This treatise collects data from relevant journals, books, and websites using hydro political theory and qualitative description methods.
