[pic] DELTARES INTERNSHIP MOTIVATION LETTER Tiaravanni Hermawan

My concern about Indonesia’s infrastructure is started when I joined HMS, an association for Civil Engineering at Institute Technology Bandung. HMS conducts project, which related with education and community development. The projects are all about constructing long-term public facilities like water installation, school, and bridge. On the early 2012, I was chosen to be the head of Public Relation. The frequent discussion with the local residents encourages me to have a better understanding about the significance role of adequate infrastructure in increasing their quality of lives.

The resources of Indonesia might be answering the needs of appropriate infrastructure. Three years spent in Civil Engineering is enough for a realization how potential Indonesia is. Indonesia is also the biggest archipelago in the world. In my opinion, human and natural resources is not an inheritance by the ancients, but something we should preserve for the next descendants.

Some of Indonesia’s biggest assets are water resources. The development of water in Indonesia deserves considerable attention from the government. The enormous probable mistake in management planning of water resources will be courting dangerous catastrophe. Fortunately, Civil Engineering in Indonesia already has water resources development in its sub-major and I want to study about it for the next year.

My interest in Water Recourses Technology in Netherland started in January. I had chosen to be Indonesian’s ambassador and had a Euro Trip from the government. When I was visiting Netherland, i was really amazed in fast-growing development of Civil Engineering in Netherland, especially in water infrastructure.

After a discussion with Professor Eelco Van Beek, I have more motivation for applying an internship in a project in Deltares, especially a

    Since the beginning of time the importance of water has always been know. Building of dams has been traced back to 3,000 BC in connection with an elaborate water supply system for the region. (McCully, 2011) Even in those early days it seemed that there was a system to divert water from the natural pathways to dams or for irrigation purposes. Sometimes the water from dams is exploited for communities with various other purposes; like the creation of hydroelectricity, flood control, sediment control, navigation, and water supply.

    Water is inextricably linked with every facet of human development. Its unavailability, deterioration in quality and neglect drastically impedes the quality of human life. The India's accelerated and continuous growth has led to an unprecedented stress on the finite and fragile water resources that are on the verge of depletion on account of overexploitation. Sectoral demands for water are growing rapidly in line with urbanization, population increase, rising income and industrial growth. One of the major sources of drinking water is underground water. The poor management of water calls for action by all stakeholders. In the advent of a water crisis, industry will be hard hit and, it is, therefore, incumbent upon the same to undertake pro active measures toward effective water management.…

    As long as I figured, most of Indonesian people has low motivation towards something –lazy to do anything. Even though there are a lot of good Indonesia citizen who being active and full of motivation but in other side those negatives vibe is still exist. Mochtar Lubis in his book Manusia Indonesia: Sebuah Pertanggungjawaban even defined Indonesian people as someone who is hypocritical, irresponsibility, feudal-minded, superstitious, weak character, wasteful, lazy, grumbler, jealous quickly, pretentious and imitator. Well, it sounds pathetic but we cannot deny if those thing is actually happen in our society. Therefore Indonesia need a system that able to lead its people to do something properly.…

    Road construction and road repair which promise to solve the traffic issues, take too long to finish and can sometimes cause more accidents and result to more costs incurred by the government and even motorists themselves than those incremental charges which could have been imposed had this concept been applied. Nevertheless, application of this idea is easier said than done since Filipinos are very cost conscious. Most likely, once additional costs are charged, much objection would be heard from both private and public sectors of the community. But personally, this should be considered to prevent even more complicated problems in the future. Further, this would increase the government’s revenue. Such income can be used in the construction of more highways and roads for the benefit of the motorists. But then again, more factors still have to be considered before imposing additional costs to motorists so further study still needs to be done in order to implement such and for it to be applicable here in our…

    Dams of India

    • 1408 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Dams of India have been built across many perennial rivers since the independence of India. These dams in India are a part of several multi-purpose projects to serve a variety of needs. In a multi-purpose project, a river forms a unit and a river valley is developed, by exploiting all the resources of the river. Basically, dams are built to harness the river water so that it can be utilised according to the needs. A multipurpose project is launched often for storing water for irrigation purposes, generating hydro-electricity by utilising the water stored by the dams, preventing floods and facilitating afforestation in the catchments areas of the reservoirs. Moreover, the dams also provide drinking water, using the canals for navigation in some areas and also facilitating pisciculture and recreational activities. The main multipurpose projects constituting Indian dams are the Hirakud Dam in Orissa, the Bhakra-Nangal Project in Punjab, the Damodar Valley Project in Bihar and West Bengal, the Tungabhadra Project in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the Rihand Project in Uttar Pradesh.…
