Rainwater harvesting for fish farming water requirements in Boyolali Regency, Indonesia

<p>Climate change causes dry and rainy seasons to shift. Hydrology also shows that the number of rainwater changes with the uncertainty of its potential occurrence. In catfish farming and hydroponic farming, ensuring water availability is important for the sustainability of the project. Existing research is about managing rainwater, which can help partially supply water for both projects' benefit. The research location is in Jeron Village, Nogosari District, Boyolali Regency. Boyolali Regency is a 22 % residential area of the total area. It means 570 m³ potential storage. However, the result shows that only 17% of the roof area can collect rainfall for residential houses. In this study's residential case example, 17% of the roof area gives 97.8 m³ / year. The problem is that currently, there is no Rain Water Harvesting (RWH). A system capable of supporting the water supply. Using RWH provides a benefit based on the potential supply. This study highlights the potential benefits of using RWH. This pool yields a profit of up to (Indonesian Rupiah) IDR. 36,643,718 / month or IDR. 439,724.61 / year, with a probability of 80%. It means that in 5 years, it failed once. Moreover, water needs can supply from RWH.</p>

Results of a comprehensive study of water bioresources of lake Senezh

In the paper, preliminary results of hydrochemical, hydrobiological, parasitological and ichthyological investigations have been given, carried out on waters of the Lake Senezh in 2020 and compared with analogous works for 2004–2006. The ecosystem of the given water object is extremely understudied. In the size structure of fish species, caught in 2020, dynamics of a good reproduction potential could be noted. The condition factor of all fish species is very high. One can see a significant prevalence of females over males, excepting bream, in all fish groups studied. The water object investigated showed the 2,8 times MPC increase for iron in fish farming water bodies. Concentration of toxic elements in water samples and bottom sediments did not increase MPC for all other indices. The bacteriological water analysis showed insignificant increase of bacterial contamination at the area of the investigation station 6 only, what is most likely of the anthropogenic nature and is being a result of the littoral lake zone pollution. Parasitological analysis of the Senezh lake fishes indicates of o high level of their invasion. 11 parasites species were found in 3 fish species investigated, which were represented by 73% of trematodes at the metacercaria and maritas stage. The fish ergasiles problem, existed in this water body since 2005 and up to-date, continues. In zanders gills, parasitic Ergasilus sieboldin were found. The given work would be interesting for investigators who will study the Senezh lake as well as other water bodies of the Moscow area.
