Abstract: Abstract The Brantas river, one of the major water resources in Indonesia, is located in the central part of the East Java province, Java Island, the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia). The river has a catchment area of 12,000 km2 or 25 per cent of the East Java province, and a total length of 320 km, running from the active volcano of Mount Kelud to the city of Surabaya, the second largest city of Indonesia, at the mouth of the Brantas river. The river basin is rich in development potential with fertile soil, tropical climate and abundant water resources: 8 billion m3 in a dry year to 12 billion m3 in an average year. The average annual rainfall is 1,500 to 2,000 mm, 85 per cent falling during the rainy season, November to April.
