The relevance of the research is caused by the colossal energy potential of geothermal and petrothermal energy. It is designed to stimulate research and development in the field of geothermal technologies. The development of technologies for the use of geothermal and petrothermal energy in the Russian Federation is reduced by some circumstances. These main reducing factors are competition from traditional energy, problems with the legal framework and the lack of relevant areas of research and development. Currently, there is a backlog of Russia in the field of development of geothermal resources from the world level.
The main aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of condensation in the design of a geothermal heat exchanger on the change in heat inflows to it. The object of the research is a typical design of a geothermal heat exchanger consisting of a metal pipeline and a cement casing. Methods. Numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer was executed with rational values of the grid parameters and the time integration step. The assessment of the reliability of the results of the work was carried out by testing on the example of heat transfer problems, the numerical methods used and elements of the developed algorithms for solving boundary value problems of heat and mass transfer, checking the conservatism of difference schemes, and comparing with known data. The finite difference method and the implicit difference scheme were used. The peculiarity of problem solving was the discontinuity of the thermophysical characteristics at the contact boundaries between the layers and the presence of nonlinearity in the boundary condition. Results. The authors have carried out the numerical study of the effect of steam condensation in the design of a geothermal heat exchanger on the reduction of heat inflows in the system under consideration. It was found that steam condensation leads to a decrease in heat gain by 4,55–31,19 %. It is shown that the use of relatively simple heat transfer models makes it possible to predict the change in heat inflows to a geothermal heat exchanger under conditions of steam condensation in its structure during long-term operation.

The relevance. Ball mills are widely used in industry for grinding bulk materials, as well as in the last stages of ore crushing, where the required optimal particle sizes are achieved for enrichment. Although ball mills have a relatively simple design and cover extensive research, the industry is still struggling with the very low energy efficiency of the grinding process. As the retrofitting heavy equipment is the costliest approach, process optimization through control system is the most suitable for energy consumption reduction. As a rule, the feed rate is the main control variable for a mill with a constant rotation speed. Due to insufficient information content, outdated methods of analysis and control of the internal dynamics of the mill, control systems keep the target value of feed rate at a deliberately low level in order not to overload the mill. This article provides an explanation of how, in such a case, an increase in mill feed rate could affect the energy efficiency of grinding. The main aim: study of energy efficient modes of operation of stations; verification of models and confirmation of experimental data: the relationship between door loading and power consumption indicators; construction of buildings for energy efficient control of ball towers. Objects: the process of grinding in a ball tower with a constant rotation speed. Methods: mathematical description of the behavior of the electromechanical part of a machine that consumes current and works on a load in the form of spherical furniture; simulation modeling of the operation of the door electric drive; statistical analysis of production indicators. Results. The paper demonstrate the tendency to increase electricity consumption with a decrease in feed rate and vice versa, respectively for ball mills with a synchronous drive of 2500 kW based on modeling and experimental data. Increase in feed rate in the range of 10–40 t/h, there is a drop in active power by 0,48–1,57 %. The values of the specific power consumption of ~5–8 kWh/t during the grinding of apatite ore were obtained. An increase in productivity by 5 t/h on average leads to a decrease in the specific power consumption by 0,12 kWh/t. It is necessary to increase productivity in the operation of ball mills only after integrating measuring instruments into the control system of the mill, which allow an accurate assessment of the state of loading of the mill drum.

Relevance. The moral and physical deterioration of cable lines voltage of 6–10 kV in our country ranges from 40 to 80 %. At the same time, up to 63 % of all accidents in electrical equipment are due to cable line failures. Recently, cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation have been actively used, for the diagnosis of which special approaches are required. Therefore, the issues of developing high-voltage test facilities for diagnosing the state of insulation of electrical equipment are quite relevant. The authors proposed an original design of a high-voltage test facility that allows generating both direct voltage and alternating voltages of industrial and ultra-low frequencies. A feature of the device is the use of a multifunctional integrated electromagnetic component in it, which combines the functions of both an inductor and a capacitor. The use of this component allows reducing the dimensions and weight of the test facility. The main aims of the research are to develop a design of a high-voltage test facility and to study its characteristics; build a mathematical model and get dependency graphs. Objects: cables with XLPE insulation, high voltage test facilities. Methods: theory of electrical circuits, mathematical modeling, program for mathematical and engineering calculations Mathcad, MATLAB Simulink. Results. The authors proposed the original design of a high-voltage test facility, which makes it possible to generate both direct voltage and alternating voltages of industrial and ultra-low frequencies. The simulation of the installation was carried out. A method for calculating high-voltage test facilities is proposed.

Published: September 2023

The coexistence of a molar pregnancy with a live fetus is a rare entity of difficult diagnosis and treatment. Continuation of the pregnancy until full-term delivery is possible. We report two cases of twin molar deliveries observed empirically from 2015-2021, in the gynecology-obstetrics department of the Donka national hospital and in the maternity ward of the Jean Paul II hospital in Conakry. The discovery was made on ultrasound of the first trimester of pregnancy and macroscopic examination of the placenta. One of the neonates was alive, a healthy female and the other was polymal formed with facial dysmorphism, omphalocele and sexual ambiguity, fresh stillborn. There was no maternal complication towards a gestational trophoblastic tumor (T.T.G) in both cases. Efforts must be made in the prevention of T.T.G. by screening for twin molar pregnancies with healthy fetuses on transvaginal ultrasound in the first trimester, the dosage of HCG in the face of unexplained metrorrhagia, macroscopic observation of the placenta after each delivery and biopsy sampling of any suspicious placenta.

Published: September 2023

Induction of labour has become a more common worldwide medical intervention during the last few years [1]. The ideal cervical ripening agent must be effective, safe, easy to be administered and acceptable for the pregnant woman. Utilizing prostaglandins (PG) for cervical ripening during induction of labour (IOL) was first described in the 1960s [2]. Since that time various types of prostaglandins including PGF2α, PGE2 (Dinoprostone) and PGE1 (Misoprostol) were extensively studied to elicit the best prostaglandin pharmacological agent for pre-induction cervical ripening [2]. Dinoprostone was found to be superior to the others, as it increased the rates of successful vaginal delivery within 24 h without increasing the operative delivery rates. Vaginal route was found to be a safe and effective approach of bringing on labor.

Urban studies and practices in the context of Social Transformation of Urban Planning in Russia (2008-2021 years)
Authors: Moskaleva Svetlana
Published: September 2023

The field of urban planning in Russia (hereinafter — UP) is of particular interest for sociological analysis. By M.S. Larson, results of the activity of architects and town planners are not only material features, but also cultural, behavioral patterns which are inscribed in urban planning projects. In the last decade, professionals, city managers, and developers have faced new challenges related to the quality of the urban environment. The request for new approaches in the field of renovation of urban spaces was formulated both by professionals, representatives of civil, expert communities and grassroots groups, and by government authorities (within the framework of the federal project “Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment”).The focus of this article is the analysis of “urbanistika” (=urban studies and practices) in Russia in 2008-2021, based on materials from expert interviews with professionals with experience in the field of urban planning. Key aspects of the transformation of UP that were identified during the analysis include: 1) marketization of UP, 2) the formation of an individualistic discourse, 3) the formation of a therapeutic discourse, 4) a communicative turn in UP, which is shown by the example of the emergence of new methods (participatory design and others methods aimed at taking into account the opinions of residents during the urban planning process), as well as the emergence of new actors (bloggers and urbanists) in urban discussions and projects.
Urban Ruins: Visuality of Social Meanings
Authors: Polikarpov Dmitrij , Pustovalova Svetlana , Senenko Mariya
Published: September 2023

Architectural ruins in the context of the urban landscape carry many meanings and functions: they reflect changes in fashion, security, cultural values, and show the peculiar struggle of urbanization and the “recapture” of abandoned places by plants and animals. The article offers an analysis of the perception of architectural ruins in modern urban everyday life. Conceptualization is built through such functions and properties of urban ruins as providing a symbolic refuge for representatives of certain groups and symbolizing cultural trauma, i.e. trauma of a social group bound by a common culture and solidarity Based on the observations, the authors describe two cases: the ruins of the unfinished military camp “Olgino” in St. Petersburg and the ruins of the “Enthusiast” cinema in Moscow. Some recommendations are provided for researchers interested in studying urban ruins.
The concept of a “new march” in the official interpretation of the history of the Communist Party of China
Authors: Skosyrev Vladimir A.
Published: September 2023

Importance. The paper analyzes the concept of “new march” of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Recently, this phrase has been often mentioned in the speeches of leaders of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and has been actively promoted by party propaganda. The purpose of the research is to trace the development process of the expression “new march” in the ideological field of the PRC and to determine the key meaning of the concept.
Materials and methods. To achieve the purpose, the speeches of PRC’s leaders in 1996, 2006 and 2016 on the occasion of the round anniversary of the end of the Long March of 1934–1936, which is associated with the ideology of the “new march”, are analyzed. With the qualitative and quantitative content analysis, common and special points for the three texts are highlighted. It is shown how the concept of the “new Long March” was filled with content. The origin of the term “new march” in official sources is also traced and the ideas that party theorists associate with this expression are highlighted.
Result and Discussion. It’s finds out that the ideologeme mainly shifts focus from achievements of previous period of the country’s development to future successes of socialist construction in the “New Era” proclaimed by the current General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping.
Conclusion. Emergence of the “new march” concept is indicative of some changes in how the CPC positions itself in Chinese history. Influence of this transformation on PRC’s ideology as a whole is subject to further research.
Historicity of European Union foreign policy: historical and cultural conditions over national subjectivity
Authors: Kuznetsov-Brusnikin Daniil A.
Published: September 2023

Importance. Unlike national subjectivity, European foreign policy is quite historical, that is, it is not mythologized and has a chronologically distinct beginning. How then is the continuity inherent in subjectivity achieved if supranational foreign policy can be represented as a series of discrete solutions? Based on the fact that any foreign policy is a locus of cultural relations, the historical and cultural conditions of European subjectivity were examined on the example of European cinema.
Materials and methods. A cultural method of historical research was formulated; materials were selected that seamlessly relate to the European tradition of cinema.
Results and Discussion. Some conditions of supranational subjectivity were highlighted – first of all, it is a transformative experience associated with war.
Conclusion. Cinema shows what European foreign policy is made of in addition to discrete solutions – ideas and traditions cannot show this, whereas modern cultural forms allow it to reveal the location of supranational subjectivity in the historical and cultural dynamics of the 20th century.
Transformation of the Security Policy of the State of Israel: new trends against the background of traditional priorities
Authors: Ermakov Andrei A. , Kornilov Alexander A. , Ryzhov Igor V.
Published: September 2023

Importance. The article discusses the development of the national security course of the State of Israel in the period 2021–2023. This issue is of particular interest due to the existence of two trends in the security sector: its transformation on the one hand and continuity on the other.
Research methods. The study is based on the defense of historicism, objectivity and systemic ownership. Along with general scientific methods, such as analysis and comparison, historical-comparative, retrospective, synchronous methods, as well as the method of critical geopolitics, are used.
Result and Discussion. It is noted that during the tenures of Prime Ministers N. Bennett and J. Lapid, there is a further development of “the Iron Dome” missile defense system and the laser weapons’ development to strengthen this system. Several operations are carried out, the purpose of which is to prevent the technical and offensive development of the opponents of the State of Israel in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. In military operations, the emphasis is on the remote destruction of military installations in the depths of Palestinian territory and the prevention of militant access to Israel territory through underground tunnels, which in fact is a new trend. With the return of B. Netanyahu to the post of Prime Minister of the country in the end of 2022, there is a commitment to this military strategy, as evidenced by the continuation of Operation Breakwater. At the same time, B. Netanyahu is pursuing a policy of strengthening the strategic advantage of the State of Israel in the direction of the Gaza Strip, where Israel’s advantages are gradually leveled.
Conclusion. It is noted that in the period 2021–2022 the military strategy of the state developed largely in line with and on the basis of the groundwork that is created by B. Netanyahu during his previous term as prime minister. At the same time, the old security doctrine is changed in order to prevent the technological development of the enemy and maintain the strategic advantage of the State of Israel. A general conclusion is made about the effectiveness of the adopted strategy and its long-term nature.
Possibilities of pedagogical support in the formation of teenagers’ readiness for military duty
Authors: Zavarzin Nikolai P.
Published: September 2023

Importance. Modern society is becoming more and more complex and it is necessary to educate its citizens in the spirit of high morality, attentiveness to neighbors, respect for the law and readiness for the needs of their country. Respect for the transmitted knowledge, training in ethical and moral behavior, taking care of health, putting personal life in order will lead to the fact that teenagers will be more willing to prepare for military duty and easier to perceive difficulties in execution their military duties. Consequently, pedagogical support for the formation of teenagers’ readiness for military duty is an urgent and very important task in modern conditions. Pedagogical support for the formation of teenagers’ readiness for military duty can be achieved by conducting special classes in schools, as well as in military camps, where teenagers receive military tactical training skills, and professional military instructors can conduct special classes and trainings that will not only strengthen physical health, but also help them learn how to live and work in special conditions.
Research methods. Based on the analysis of interdisciplinary literature and advanced experience on the problem of pedagogical support for the formation of readiness of adolescents for military duty; generalization, comparison, systematization, observation, analysis of school activities; the possibilities of pedagogical support that complement modern scientific ideas about the effectiveness of the formation of readiness of adolescents for military duty in educational organizations are revealed.
Results and Discussion. The possibilities of pedagogical support are revealed, complementing modern scientific ideas about the effectiveness of the formation of teenagers’ readiness for military duty in general education organizations from the perspective of the main trends of modern school education (patriotism, citizenship, responsibility for the present and future of the country, the native land and their own destiny).
Conclusion. The strategies of pedagogical support for the formation of teenagers’ readiness for military duty and the corresponding tactics that contribute to the theory of the organization of the educational process in modern Russian secondary schools are substantiated.
Establishment of subaltern officer’s institute in the Ural: experience of hierarchical cluster analysis
Authors: Ryazanov Sergey M.
Published: September 2023

Importance. The formation of subaltern officer’s institute in the Ural in the last quarter of the 19th century is considered. The importance of the research lies in the fact that, despite a thorough study of the subaltern officers personnel of the Russian Empire, serious researches of subaltern officers’ sites were practically not carried out. The purpose of the research is to analyze the subaltern officers’ sites in the Ural with the help of mathematical and statistical tools.
Materials and methods. The Russian modernization theory is chosen as a medium-level methodology. The key method of the study is the multidimensional data analysis on the subaltern officers’ sites.
Results and Discussion. The construction of a multifactorial typology of subaltern officers’ sites in the Ural in 1878 is considered. The results obtained can be used in teaching the course “History of law enforcement agencies of Russia”.
Conclusion. The reform of 1878 failed to create police bodies in the Ural adequate to the rapid growth of the population and the territories’ extensiveness. Although most of the counties of the Southern Ural can be considered much easier to patrol than in the Vyatka and Perm governorates. In 20% of the counties of the Ural, patrolling sites by one rider turned out to be impracticable.
How railway communication in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries helped to spread anti-government literature to revolutionaries (on the example of Kursk province)
Authors: Zarubina Kristina A.
Published: September 2023

Importance. In the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries, an unstable internal political situation was observed in Russia. The activation of the oppositional political forces was facilitated by unresolved topical problems for society (for example, the peasant and workers’ question). The «awakening» of the population was facilitated by agitation and propaganda activities organized by left-wing political parties, such as the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party and the Socialist Revolutionaries. At the same time, the spread of anti-government literature across the country was, as a rule, by rail. The study of the experience of agitation and propaganda work (on the example of a typical Russian province) will not only enrich the historical sphere of scientific knowledge, but also assess the effectiveness of the implemented mechanisms for the dissemination of revolutionary literature in the historical conditions. This is the purpose of this study.
Materials and methods. In the process of working on the topic, the following methods of scientific cognition were used: analysis, synthesis, generalization, chronological and comparative-historical methods.
Results and Discussion. It is determined that oppositional political parties used railway lines as an effective «means» of delivering revolutionary literature to provincial regions.
Conclusion. However, such propaganda and agitation activities did not always lead to the desired result, and the local population was wary of the discovered «finds» in the form of revolutionary leaflets, appeals, proclamations, pamphlets, etc.
Law enforcement trends at the stage of initiating a criminal case (empirical analysis)
Authors: Tsvetkov Yuri A.
Published: September 2023

The study object is the criminal procedure activities main directions of the preliminary investigation bodies at the stage of initiating a criminal case. The study is built in an inductive order (from facts to conclusions) and is aimed at solving a key research task – to identify objective trends in law enforcement at this criminal process stage. The main empirical basis of the study was the data of federal and departmental statistical observations on the number of incoming reports of crimes, the results of their verification, the stability of procedural decisions to refuse and initiate criminal proceedings, the effectiveness of prosecutorial supervision, departmental (procedural) and judicial control over the validity and legality of these decisions. Along with certain problems, a generally positive dynamics of law enforcement at the stage of initiating a criminal case has been established. The thesis of a number of scientists about the alleged inefficiency of the existing procedural mechanisms for checking reports of a crime and the need to abandon the institute of initiating a criminal case is refuted.

Published: September 2023

İntraoperatif kan kaybı radikal prostatektominin önemli komplikasyonlarından biridir. Perioperatif uygun risk sınıflamasının yapılması intraoperatif kan transfüzyonu ihtimalini azaltabilir. Biz bu çalışmada kanamaya neden olabilecek risk faktörlerini ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Çalışmamıza konvansiyonel transrektal ultrasonografi biyopsi (TRUS-Bx) ile prostat kanseri tanısı konulan ve retropubik radikal prostatektomi (RP) operasyonu gerçekleştirilen 180 hasta dahil edildi. Operasyonda gerçekleşen ortalama kan kaybı ile hastanın klinik ve patolojik bulgularının ilişkisi incelendi. Kanama miktarına etki edebilecek ve operasyon öncesi kanama miktarını öngörebilecek faktörler ortaya konulmaya çalışıldı. Kanama miktarı fazla olan hastalarda TRUS-Bx ile RP arasında geçen süre istatistiksel anlamlı olarak daha uzundu (p=0.005). Peroperatif kanama düzeyi ile TRUS-Bx ve RP ISUP skorlarının karşılaştırıldığında, kanama miktarı yüksek olan (>845 cc) hastalarda hem TRUS-Bx hem de RP ISUP değerleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı daha yüksek izlendi (sırasıyla; p=0,024, p<0,001). TRUS-Bx ISUP skorunda 1 birimlik artış, peroperatif kanama miktarında 100.04 cc artışla ilişkili bulunmuştur. Lojistik regresyon analizinde peroperatif kanama miktarı için en önemli prediktör RP ISUP derecesiydi (p=0,003). Yüksek evre hastalarda operasyon sırasında kanama daha çok olmaktadır. ISUP derecesi ve biyopsi tümör yüzdesi yüksek olan hastalarda daha dikkatli bir diseksiyon, peroperatif kanama miktarını azaltabilir. Intraoperatif kanama miktarı fazla olan hastalarda kanser evresinin biyopsi patolojisine göre daha yüksek olabileceği unutulmamalıdır.

Senescent cells as new pharmacological targets for age-related diseases and anti-aging therapy
Authors: Masternak Michal
Published: September 2023

Aging is a natural process leading to decline in physical function, reducing ability to adjust to everyday organismal stress and increased frailty. Recent studies of the mechanism of aging have brought attention to naturally occurring senescent cells in different organs throughout the body. This natural process of senescence is caused by cell cycle arrest due to cellular damage, which protects cells from apoptosis, while stimulating the production and secretion of different senescent associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) causing low grade chronic inflammation. Emerging studies show that by targeting and eliminating these cells with a new class of senolytic drugs in old animals we can improve a variety of health conditions including reduction of inflammation, improvement of insulin sensitivity and metabolic status, increase of bone mineral density and enhanced physical function together with extended overall longevity. Ongoing clinical trials using Desatanib and Quarcetin (D+Q) and other classes of senolytic drugs indicate high translational potentials in targeting and clearing senescent cells to cure some age-related diseases; however, more in depth studies have to be completed to incorporate these therapies in general healthy elderly populations for safe anti-aging intervention.

Internal control plays a critical role in achieving the effectiveness and efficiency of organization's operational activities. This study seeks to investigate the effect of local government size, locally-generated revenue, capital expenditures, social assistance expenditures, and follow-up audit results on local government’s internal control weaknesses. By using multiple linear regressions on 382 samples of local governments in Indonesia, this study found that local government size and social assistance expenditures positively affected internal control weaknesses. Locally-generated revenue negatively affected internal control weaknesses, while capital expenditures and follow-up audit results did not significantly affect internal control weaknesses. This study adds social assistance expenditures, which are still rarely studied by previous researchers because of the large number of irregularities and their discretionary nature. Thus, the results of this study may provide an input for auditors and regulators to focus more on spending on social assistance and further improve comprehensive standards in internal control systems.
A Time Interval Only Description and Radiation
Authors: Hollestelle Harmen Henricus
Published: September 2023

The time interval set approach depends on results for radiation propagation from star sources, where properties relate to sphere like propagation surfaces, finite for any realistic event and measurement. In contrast usually applied to stationary and parallel propagation is the traditional vector and one moment time coordinate kinematic approach from Newton’s laws. A time interval only description necessarily has to start from it's own definitions, and properties since time intervals have to be defined with time intervals. In this paper studied are time interval only set properties, commutation, addition and multiplication, and derivatives, and how to define these corresponding consistently with one moment time set properties. Time development and equilibrium within the time interval description depend on the well-known ‘mean velocity theorem’ and the time interval version of the Legendre transform. Radiation propagation ‘away from’ and gravitation ‘towards’ the star source are part of the one time interval description. In the second, discussion, part the time interval only set approach with only the fundamental properties is applied to radiation. Included is a derivation of star source radiation energy for both zero and non zero wave particle mass. The time interval set is not one of the usual sets encountered and the canonical property does not apply, the approach in this paper starts from commutation properties of one moment time coordinates and of time intervals and relates to Noether charges and structure constants. These are found to be equal to the radiation wave group-velocity, for photons the light velocity c, and, different from the usual derivative to one moment time, they equal specific arguments of the time interval only set derivative.

(1) Background: The goal of the study was to evaluate psychological tolerance and health-related quality of life (QOL) in head and neck (HN) cancer patients treated with definitive accelerated radiotherapy (DART); (2) Methods: Seventy-six recurrence-free patients eligible for the study, who were treated with DART in the CAIR-2 phase III clinical study (median of follow-up=47 months), completed EORTC QLQ-C30 with H&N35 module, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Visual–Analog Scales (VAS) of pain in HN and the neck / arm area.; (3) Results: The most dominating symptoms measured with QLQ-C30 were: fatigue (44/100), sleeplessness (39/100), financial problems (38/100) and pain (32/100). Within H&N35 the highest scores were reported on the subscales of sticky saliva (60/100), mouth dryness (65/100) and increased intake of painkillers (50/100). Pain (VAS) was reported by 87% (HN area) and 78% (shoulder) of the patients, with a mean score of 3/10. One-third reported depressive mood (HADS≥15 points) with an average score of 12.5/42 p. The depressed group, who smoked more as compared to non-depressed before DART (96% vs 78%) and required steroids treatment (85% vs 58%) during DART, also scored significantly worse on 23 of 35 subscales of QLQ-C30 and H&N35 and experienced more intense pain (VAS). Women, and less advanced patients scored better in several aspects of the quality of life; (4) Conclusions: Patients treated with DART struggle with low quality of life and persisting treatment-related symptoms including constant pain. HNC survivors, especially those, who are depressed, may require additional psychosocial, rehabilitation and medical intervention programs..

Drought occurs quite often in Indonesia, closely related to water availability for community needs. One of the districts in West Java Province experiencing drought problems is Karawang district, where the RWH (Rainwater Harvesting) concept will be applied. This study aimed to analyze the risk of drought-related to applying the potential RWH in reducing drought risk. This study only focuses on meteorological drought, determined by SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index). Identification of potential areas for the application of RWH is carried out using the Weighted Method Overlay approach in the Geographic Information System (GIS), which was modified by adding a parameter of potential drought hazard. The potential reliability of RWH, as seen from Volumetric Reliability (VR) for supplying the average water requirement of MCK (Bath Washing Toilet) per year, indicates that most of the Karawang district area is potential for applying RWH. The results of adding the potential drought hazard parameters on applying the RWH concept show the decreasing area of very potential and potential category areas into 5,38%, the increase of drought resistance capacity is 17.5%, and the risk-reducing to 8.3%. Those results are due to the changes in the area of drought in the risk analysis. The assumptions of 60 rainy days on the average rainy day in a year and all households making RWH storage systems were used in the analysis. The results of this study can be used as a first step to see the potential of RWH in Karawang Regency both in terms of area and reliability.
