Government programs to clean up the Citarum river are considered good, but not yet optimal. Because until now there is still a recalcitrant industry that often dumps waste into the River Basin. Water pollution that occurs in the Citarum River ought to be of sure worry to the Indonesia government, particularly in West Java. By the several programs, neutral policies that protect the environment, and strict supervision it will be useful and works. Not only about the programs and policies that benefit the one-party but also other parties such as the environment and society.Abstrak: Luas DAS 690.571, 57 hektar, Citarum adalah sumber air irigasi pertanian, pembangkit listrik tenaga air, dan sumber air baku untuk air minum serta perikanan dan lahan budidaya yang dimanfaatkan oleh penduduk di 10 kabupaten dan dua kota di provinsi Jawa Barat. Tetapi Citarum saat ini dihadapkan dengan polusi akut yang mengakibatkan kerugian besar pada sumber daya kesehatan, ekonomi, sosial, ekosistem, dan lingkungan. Studi ini akan membahas bagaimana pemerintah menangani SDGs 2030 dengan membersihkan Sungai Citarum. Studi ini menggunakan studi tinjauan pustaka dengan fokus studi tentang bagaimana peran pemerintah dalam menyelesaikan masalah pencemaran air di sungai Citarum, kemudian juga berfokus pada bagaimana pemerintah mengimplementasikan program pembersihan sungai Citarum. Program pemerintah untuk membersihkan sungai Citarum dianggap baik, tetapi belum optimal. Karena sampai sekarang masih ada industri bandel yang sering membuang sampah ke DAS. Polusi air yang terjadi di Sungai Citarum seharusnya mengkhawatirkan pemerintah Indonesia, khususnya di Jawa Barat. Dengan beberapa program, kebijakan netral yang melindungi lingkungan, dan pengawasan ketat itu akan berguna dan berfungsi. Tidak hanya tentang program dan kebijakan yang menguntungkan satu pihak tetapi juga pihak lain seperti lingkungan dan masyarakat.

The Role of Muslim Generation Community at Zakat Collection on Realizing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Era of Digital Society 5.0

“…Indonesia has succeeded in achieving most of the SDGs targets, namely 49 of the 6 SDGs indicators. However, there are still indicators that must be continued in its implementation, such as reducing poverty rates based on the national poverty line, increasing minimum consumption below 1,400 kcal/capita/day, reducing maternal mortality, overcoming HIV/AIDS, providing clean water and sanitation in rural areas and the disparity in achieving targets between provinces is still wide (Fatimah et al, 2020;Fridayani, 2020). The findings reveal a variety of factors that support efforts to realize the SDGs more comprehensively by involving more developed and developing countries, expanding funding, emphasizing human rights, and being inclusive with the involvement of stakeholders including community organizations, media, business actors, and academics (Agaeva, 2022;Miralles-Quirós et al, 2020;Zengin et al, 2021).…”

Plastic Debris in Citarum River

“…Citarum River has a long history of pollution, and it was even named one of the top ten toxic threats in the world in 2013 [9] due to the high levels of pollution and the massive impact of pollution on the population in the Citarum River [8,10]. Fridayani [11] stated that from 2001 the government has tried to clean up the river from upstream to downstream with the various programs, the last program was named "Citarum Harum" or fragrant Citarum in order to control Citarum Watershed pollution. The objective of this study is to identify and quantify the number of plastic debris in the Citarum River.…”

“…The government has relaunched a program for Citarum called Citarum Harum, which aims to clean up Citarum and restore drinking water upstream. The Citarum Harum program itself is expected to take seven years to complete (Fridayani, 2020).…”
