Abstract

Water scarcity has become an issue that occurs in many areas in various countries. Climate change, population growth, land transformation and physical conditions of the land have a significant impact on water scarcity and affect the provision of clean water for the community. However, apart from these factors, water scarcity is mainly caused by water governance failure. Water governance discourse has developed and become influential in resolving water scarcity by looking at how to manage too little or too much water so that people can have an equal right to water. This study identifies the causes of water scarcity and analyses challenges in water governance faced by Tanjungpinang City to find out the gaps and opportunities to improve a better water provision system in the future. This study mainly analyses water governance in the water supply system in Tanjungpinang City. In this case study, semi-structured interviews and document research were conducted to analyze how the water provision is governed in Tanjungpinang to confront water scarcity. This research found that water governance principles have not been optimally implemented to support the fulfilment of clean water needs. Based on the findings, financial constraints, capacity, and monitoring and evaluation are the most significant challenges affecting water governance in Tanjungpinang. By focusing on improving these principles and strengthened by the willingness of the authorities to set it as a priority scale for regional policies, strategies and plans, it is hoped that the community will no longer experience water shortages in the future.
