Water-related risks identified by Pupuk Kaltim are as follows:
🏭 Groundwater Dependency
Dependency on deep groundwater needs for supporting facilities, while deep groundwater is limited in quantity and its extraction is restricted by the government.
💡 Mitigation:
Utilization of rainwater for toilet flushing in offices and utilization of AC condensation water as a source of clean water in offices.
💧 Decrease in Water Quantity and Quality
The impact of increased water usage causes risks of decreased freshwater quantity and quality, which can indirectly reduce the availability of clean water from nature.
💡 Mitigation:
Tree planting programs and forest preservation in company areas to increase rainwater and surface water absorption into the ground. Forests with good ecosystems will naturally purify surface water.
🌊 Limited Freshwater Supply
There is a risk of limited freshwater supply, while water demand is predicted to increase in the future.
💡 Mitigation:
Construction of water collection ponds to store surface water for use as freshwater in Industrial Support areas.
🔬 Impact of Product Use on Water Quality
There is a risk of declining water quality in the future that could affect operations and the environment.
💡 Mitigation:
Ensuring that wastewater pollutant levels discharged to the environment do not exceed the thresholds set by the government.
👥 Community Water Needs
Risk of increased groundwater demand for domestic purposes in buffer zone communities due to population growth around industrial areas.
💡 Mitigation:
Providing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assistance in the form of raw water to surrounding communities.
📋 SIPA Permit Restrictions
Government restrictions on issuing Groundwater Business Permits (SIPA) while the company's freshwater needs are increasing, and producing water from seawater requires considerable cost and energy per m³ of freshwater product.
💡 Mitigation:
Creating water use efficiency programs and building rainwater collection ponds for use as industrial water.
🌾 Environmental Impact of Over-fertilization
Risk:
Over-fertilization can potentially cause environmental impacts. Excessive phosphorus nutrients can potentially be carried in groundwater movement. Under certain conditions, this can cause eutrophication phenomena from excessive phosphorus nutrients in water bodies.
💡 Mitigation:
Pupuk Kaltim has developed and implemented PreciPalm in oil palm plantations across various regions in Indonesia.
