Judul: Optimasi Pemanfaatan Air Dengan Program Linear di Saluran Tarum Barat
Abstrak: The problems of water resources is fluctuation where there is drought in the dry season and floods during the rainy season. One effort to optimize the utilization of limited water resources while the community needs for water has increased is the management of water in the main channel with the method of linear programming (LP) that can distribute water at its optimum. So needed formulate mathematical models and optimize the water demand for agricultural, domestic and industry in West Tarum Canal. The data required in this study are the data of agricultural land area, population and industry that utilizes water from the West Tarum Canal. Water needs in agricultural research is set to 0,86 liters/sec/ha, the domestic equivalent to 120 liters/person/day or 3,6 m3/month and the industry of 350 m3/day or 10.500 m3/month. Debit is included in this optimization is the monthly average discharge West Tarum Canal. Optimization is done by determining the proportion of the allocation of water resources, that is for domestic 26,3%, agriculture 71%, and the rest of the industry at 2,7%. Based on the results of the optimization of agricultural land area, population, and the industry is 12.486 ha, 6.560.099 peoples, and 231 industries and with revenues amounting to IDR 295.714.500,00.

Judul: Model of intersectoral water allocation in Jatiluhur irrigation area: dynamic optimization approach
Abstrak: Rapid population growth, development of urban sprawl, and increasing food demand, have increased pressure on irrigation, domestic and industrial water demand. As such, the stock of water resources has become limited, not only in terms of quantity and quality, equity and continuity of water distribution, but also efficiency of water use. The scarcity of this resource has intensely increased intersectoral water demand, in downstream area, so that a model is needed to solve this conflicting and competing water demand problem. The objectives of this research are: (1) to conceptualize and develop a water allocation model in Jatiluhur’s dams, especially in Tarum Barat area and compare it with actual allocation which is undertaken by Perum Jasa Tirta II, (2) to evaluate the performance of technical and economic variables toward the dynamic optimum allocation, and (3) to evaluate the effect of its dynamic optimum allocation toward the reservoir’s stock of water.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
