  • Hydropower Potential in Indonesia
  • West Java’s Captivating Reservoirs
  • Reservoirs as Tourist Attractions

Indonesia has an estimated technical hydropower potential of 75,000 MW, with undeveloped resources concentrated on the Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi islands. Papua Island, Kalimantan Island, Sumatera Island, and Sulawesi Island have the most hydropower potential, while Java-Bali and Nusa Tenggara-Maluku have less. The previous year, Indonesia’s public power company, PLN, announced plans to build the country’s largest hydroelectric facility in North Kalimantan.

Hydropower in West Java

In West Java, multiple reservoirs were constructed to prevent floods, generate electricity, provide water for agricultural irrigation, and support fishing activities. The region boasts an extensive irrigation network spanning 900,000 hectares across 103 different locations.

1. Hydropower in Cirata (Purwakarta)

The Cirata Reservoir, situated across three regencies, including Purwakarta, Cianjur, and West Bandung, serves as a power generation facility and a habitat for fish reared in floating net cages.

Additionally, due to the captivating beauty of West Java Province, the scenic surroundings of the reservoir have become an appealing attraction for tourists, particularly those interested in fishing. Although primarily known for its electricity generation function, the reservoir in Tegal Waru Village, Plered District, Purwakarta, has gained recognition as a tourist destination thanks to the picturesque landscape it offers.

2. Hydropower in Jatiluhur (Purwakarta)

The Jatiluhur Reservoir, located in Purwakarta, West Java Province, is considered Indonesia’s largest reservoir. Primarily serving as a power generation facility, it doubles as a picturesque recreational destination. The reservoir is surrounded by various recreational amenities, particularly catering to water sports enthusiasts, offering activities such as water skiing, rowing, and windsurfing, to name a few. Visitors can indulge in these water sports while enjoying the reservoir’s breathtaking panoramas.

3. Hydropower in Jatigede (Sumedang)

The Jatigede Reservoir, established in 2015, is the second-largest reservoir in Indonesia. Situated in Cijeunjing Village, Jatigede District, Sumedang, its primary purpose is to serve as an irrigation hub, benefiting approximately 90,000 hectares of fertile agricultural land in Cirebon, Indramayu, and Majalengka Regencies.

Moreover, the water stored in the reservoir will be utilized for a 110-megawatt (MW) Hydroelectric Power Plant currently under construction by PT PLN (Persero).

Furthermore, this reservoir will provide residents access to clean water, supplying up to 3,500 cubic meters per second. Additionally, it will be crucial in mitigating floods, offering protection to an area spanning 14,000 hectares in West Java.

4. Hydropower Kuningan (Kuningan)

The Kuningan hydropower, situated in Randusari Village, Cibeureum District, Kuningan, serves multiple purposes. With a capacity of 25.96M³, it facilitates irrigation across a vast area of 3000 Ha and supplies a significant volume of raw water, approximately 0.30 M³ per second. Additionally, the dam generates 0.50 MW of electricity.

The primary objective behind the construction of the Kuningan Reservoir is to enhance food and water security. Moreover, it serves as a flood control measure, mitigating potential damage caused by flooding. Furthermore, the water stored in the reservoir can generate 500 kWh of electricity.

    With 349 Google crypto searches per 100,000 people in a year, West Virginia seems to have the lowest interest in crypto in the U.S. However, it tops the charts in terms of crypto ATMs. West Virginia has 336 crypto ATMs, which equates to 18.7 per 100,000 people. Online exchanges such as Coinbase make it simple to purchase Bitcoin with a credit card, debit card, bank transfer, or bank wire. There are higher fees when purchasing Bitcoin with a credit card or debit card compared to a bank transfer, something to keep in mind when deciding where and how to purchase your Bitcoin. Like all exchanges, Bittrex has its disadvantages too. It doesn’t offer margin trading, seriously limiting your earning potential. Plus, the crypto exchange doesn’t work in the states of New York, Connecticut, Vermont, and Hawaii. Its customers’ reviews are also predominantly negative, particularly because of its lacking customer support.

  174. Watch €1 Million Cash Game with Phil Ivey, Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Dan “Jungleman” Cates from TritonPoker on twitch.tv Poker history has shown Sweden to be a hotbed of poker talent and yet another example of that is Robert Flink. Flink has been seen in Triton events since back in 2019 and, to date, he has two cashes for just over $1.7 million. In fact, a look at his live results yields only a handful of results but that’s because he’s been grinding online poker under his screenname ‘Gulkines’ for more than a decade. However, coming into this major final table fourth in chips, and a lifetime of experience behind him, Flink has an opportunity not only to grab his second seven-figure score but also step into the poker spotlight while he’s at it.

    The Poker Stop-It List wasn’t written by a mega pro. It was written by a fellow human who just loves (and now crushes) the game. I’m an established author. I created a blog followed by millions, as well as various books. Over the years, my followers never knew that I had a secret life playing poker. I wrote about parenting, relationships, life, introspective topics, and shared lots of opinions and stories. My gift has always been putting complex concepts and human dynamics into words that others connect with and understand. So, why not do it with poker, too? If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last person to bet or raise shows their cards, unless there was no bet on the final round in which case the player immediately clockwise from the button shows their cards first. The player with the best five-card poker hand wins the pot. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands. Hold’em rules state that all suits are equal.
