Drought presents a major challenge to agriculture and rural livelihoods, particularly in countries like Indonesia, which feature diverse topography and unpredictable rainfall patterns. This study addresses the critical need for a sustainable approach to mitigate drought risks by employing a 'sustainability trilogy' approach that integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The research objectives are to: (1) identify potential risks and impacts of drought, (2) evaluate water management programmes and technologies to combat drought, and (3) apply the three pillars of sustainable development through the sustainability trilogy as a framework for drought disaster mitigation. A case study methodology was employed, focusing on Lombok, Indonesia, where water management systems and agricultural practices were examined. Data collection involved field observations, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs) with local farmers, irrigation managers, and community leaders. A thematic analysis combined with expert judgement analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of water conservation techniques, land management, and climate adaptation policies. The findings indicate that short-term solutions, such as optimising reservoirs and water storage systems, significantly reduce immediate drought impacts. Medium-term strategies, including community-driven water conservation efforts and sustainable land management practices, enhance resilience to drought. Long-term policies, such as climate adaptation initiatives and artificial rain technologies, are vital for ensuring sustainable water resource management in the context of climate change.
This research provides valuable insights and a practical framework for policymakers, aimed at strengthening water resilience, agriculture, and community sustainability in drought-prone regions.
干旱对农业和农村生计构成重大挑战，尤其是在印度尼西亚等国家，这些国家地形多样，降雨模式不可预测。本研究通过采用整合经济、社会和环境维度的“可持续发展三部曲”方法，满足了对减轻干旱风险的可持续方法的迫切需求。研究目标是：（1）识别干旱的潜在风险和影响；（2）评估应对干旱的水资源管理计划和技术；（3）通过将可持续发展的三大支柱作为干旱灾害缓解框架的可持续发展三部曲来应用。采用了案例研究方法，重点关注印度尼西亚的龙目岛，对其水资源管理系统和农业实践进行了考察。数据收集包括实地观察、访谈以及与当地农民、灌溉管理人员和社区领袖进行的焦点小组讨论（FGD）。采用主题分析与专家判断分析相结合的方法，评估节水技术、土地管理和气候适应政策的有效性。研究结果表明，短期解决方案，如优化水库和蓄水系统，可显著减少干旱的直接影响。中期战略，包括社区主导的节水努力和可持续土地管理实践，可增强对干旱的抵御能力。长期政策，如气候适应举措和人工降雨技术，对于在气候变化背景下确保可持续水资源管理至关重要。
本研究为政策制定者提供了宝贵的见解和实用框架，旨在加强易旱地区的水资源弹性、农业和社区可持续性。
