Judul: Optimasi Sumberdaya Air dengan Program Linear (Linear Programming) di DAS Cicatih, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Pemanfaatan sumberdaya air dari waktu ke waktu semakin meningkat, sehingga tidak dapat disangkal lagi bahwa air merupakan kebutuhan pokok bagi setiap makhluk hidup. Pemanfaatan air di Indonesia untuk berbagai penggunaan cenderung melebihi pasokan air yang tersedia. Salah satu upaya untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan sumberdaya air yang terbatas dan kebutuhan yang semakin meningkat adalah pengelolaan DAS dengan menentukan alokasi yang optimum sumberdaya air dengan metode linear programming (LP) untuk keperluan domestik, industri dan pertanian sesuai dengan proporsi kebutuhan sektor-sektor tersebut pada 2010, 2015, 2020 dan 2025. Dalam mengidentifikasi potensi air permukaan di DAS Cicatih, besarnya debit harian Sungai Cibojong yang terletak di sub-DAS Cicatih Hulu diduga dengan menggunakan model GR4J. Sedangkan mata air diidentifikasi berdasarkan data mata air yang ada di DAS Cicatih dari DISTAMBEN. Diketahui bahwa debit Sungai Cibojong periode 2007, menunjukkan bahwa debit rata-rata sesaat harian sebesar 246 liter/detik. Sedangkan debit rata-rata bulanan berdasarkan PLTA Ubrug adalah 23.752 liter/detik. Dan mata air di DAS Cicatih mencapai 5.624 liter/detik.

Judul: Pengembangan model alokasi air untuk mendukung optimal water sharing: Kasus DAS Cicatih-Cimandiri, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: There are many stakeholders in Cicatih watershed ranging from farmer to water industry laborers. In relation to the water resources stakeholders in the Cicatih watershed, the more stakeholders are the higher its potential to becoming conflicting each other. However, the most prevalent conflict is among industrial and domestic use; as according to the socio-economic survey, water uses conflict tend to erupt whenever spring water that already been utilized by local people then subsequently also utilized by water company that make shortage water for local people. The conflict ever erupted since ten years ago and has increased since 5 years ago. So as to minimize conflicts, the proportion of water use by water users need to be more transparent. The objectives of this research are: (1). Characterization and analysis of water availability and identification of effects of land cover change and the influence trend of climate change on water availability, (2). Characterization and analysis of water demands (agriculture, domestic, and industry) at various scenario water use models, and (3). Development of OptiWaSh software as an optimization model to develop recommendations of optimal water-sharing between sectors to minimize water use conflicts. The analyses using the optimization approach gave the following results. Using Verhulst projection model, the population of Cicatih Watershed could be nicely projected from 1971 through 2030 with a value of r2=0.98932. The total population in 1971 was 546 402 persons to become 1.047.164 persons in 2030. The result of trend analysis on climate variability, represented by the increase in temperature, decrease in rainfall and debit, as well as the increase in evapotranspiration through Mann Kendall analysis gave the indication of the climate change trend in Cicatih Watershed. To minimize conflicts of water use required an optimal distribution among water users, by applying the concept of optimal water sharing. To realize the optimal water-sharing concept has been developed OptiWaSh model that can be used to calculate the optimum water demands. This model has the objective function to maximize the added value of water use with the constraint that the population needs to be fulfilled. On the condition of business as usual with existing water management systems, application IP300 can only be done until 1999, whereas IP200 until 2020, and IP100 until 2028. This condition can be anticipated if the water demands to be optimized to obtain the optimum allocation of water use using the OptiWaSh model. Applications of OptiWaSh model shows that the optimum allocation of water demand are: (a) For one cropping the optimum allocation ranged from 29.5% to 30.0% (domestic), from 6.3% to 6,9% (non bottled water industry/NBWI), and from 63.2% to 64.2% (agriculture), (b) For two cropping, the optimum allocation ranged from 25,3% -25,5% (domestic), 3,7% - 3,8% (NBWI), and 70,7% - 71,0% (agriculture), (c) For three cropping conventional irrigation, the optimum allocation ranged from 17,8% -17,9% (domestic), 2,7% - 2,8% (NBWI), and 79,6% - 79,7% (agriculture).

Judul: Revision of Rhynchoglossum (Gesneriaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Revision on Rhynchoglossum in Malesia has been done. This research conducted based on morphological characters of 233 sheets of Herbarium specimen and Herbarium specimen photographs from Herbarium Bogoriense (BO), Singapore Botanic Gardens (SING), National Herbarium Netherlands (L), Royal Botanic Garden Kew (K), Natural History Museum London (BM), Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (E), New York Botanical Gardens (NY), Smithsonian Institute (US), and Harvard University (A). The result shows that six species are recognized in Malesia and five are endemic. Five species are known previously namely R. borneense, R. klugioides, R. medusothrix, R. obliquum, and R. spumosum; one species is proposed as a new and newly described namely R. celebicum. Rhynchoglossum borneense and R. medusothrix endemic to Borneo, R. celebicum endemic to Sulawesi, while R. spumosum endemic to Philippine Islands. Rhynchoglossum klugioides and R. obliquum distributed wider in Malesia. Rhynchoglossum papuae and R. merrilliae are placed under synonym of R. obliquum and R. spumosum. A phylogenetic analysis using PAUP version 4.0 program based on 60 morphological characters with Stauranthera coerulea and Loxonia hirsuta as an outgroup was undertaken. The analysis resulted a parsimonious tree which shown that Rhynchoglossum in Malesia can be divided in two groups. First clade consist R. obliquum, R. spumosum and R. celebicum while the second clade consist R. klugioides, R. borneense and R. medusothrix. Taxonomic treatment was giving with a identification key to the species, description, nomenclature, distribution, and notes each species.
