PT Tirta Investama Klaten Encourages Agricultural and Environmental Sustainability in the Pusur Sub-Watershed Area.

Rama Zakaria, M.Sc, in a guest lecture to 6th-semester students of the ESL Department on February 21, 2024, shared that PT Tirta Investama Klaten actively supports sustainable agricultural development and natural resource conservation through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) program in the Pusur Sub-Watershed Area.

One of the flagship programs, Jogo Toya Kamulyan, focuses on local wisdom-based irrigation management and the application of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), which strengthens irrigation systems and water distribution through the SIBARI application. In addition, PT Tirta Investama Klaten also encourages regenerative agricultural practices, including healthy rice cultivation and environmentally friendly horticulture on more than 40 hectares of land.

Environmental conservation is also a key focus, with the planting of thousands of trees, the construction of infiltration wells, and the normalization of irrigation channels. As a result, farmers’ incomes have increased by up to IDR 2 million per hectare per month, the use of chemical fertilizers has decreased by 50%, and water distribution has become more equitable.

With the vision of becoming the best factory in Danone Water Indonesia, PT Tirta Investama Klaten remains committed to balancing business sustainability and environmental preservation, and hopes that this program can be replicated in other regions.
