Abstract
Water consumption in Bandung city is increasing as the impact of population growth and development activities. In 2017, Bandung city water utility only serves 73.13% of its population. Whereas the national target of drinking water services for big cities is 100% in 2019. Management of water resources in Bandung city is required in order to achieve the national target and sustainable water resources. This study aims to analyses the water resources supply and demand management in Bandung city. The study was conducted by analyzing the existing water resources and its potential as well as the city’s water demand from domestic sector. Based on the water demand projection, Bandung city water demand will exceed its supply in 2034. The city will not be able to meet the water demand projected if it does not manage both of its water supply and demand. Water resources management in Bandung city is oriented mostly on the supply side. A paradigm shift from conventional water supply management to water demand management is required. Government commitment plays a very important role in the successful implementation of supply and demand management strategies.
