Abstract

Access to clean water is essential for human life and a key target of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. However, cities in developing countries, including Padang City, Indonesia, face significant challenges in meeting the growing demand due to population growth and limited water infrastructure. This study used system dynamics modelling approach with Powersim Studio 10 to develop an integrated clean water management system for Padang City. The model simulates the dynamics of population growth, water consumption, production, and distribution efficiency over a 20-year period (2022–2042). Several policy scenarios—optimistic, moderate, and pessimistic—were tested to evaluate their impact on water availability. The baseline scenario predicts a continuous decline in clean water supply due to increasing population, high leakage rates (11.99%), and water wastage (2%), which surpass the water production growth rate (5.01%). As a result, a water deficit is expected. However, under the optimistic scenario, with increased production (10%), reduced leakage (8%), and reduced wastage (3%), Padang City could achieve a clean water surplus by 2042. The moderate and pessimistic scenarios still result in a deficit. This research highlights the value of the system dynamics modelling in forecasting urban water demand and assessing policy impacts. The findings emphasize the need for integrated planning, combining technical solutions and behavioural change, to ensure sustainable water management and support the achievement of SDG 6.

Abstract

Silting due to sedimentation is one of the problems that threatens the effectiveness of the Cimpago Padang Lake Retention Pond function as a flood control in coastal urban areas. This study aims to analyze the sedimentation rate in the retention pond system and determine alternative sedimentation control measures to maintain the pond's capacity and performance. The study used a field observation method by taking water samples from the surface, middle, and bottom layers of the pond. A total of 10 samples were analyzed at the Hydrology Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Padang State University using Total Suspended Solids (TSS) parameters to identify sediment distribution characteristics. The results showed that the average TSS value increased with increasing depth, namely 77.4 NTU in the surface layer, 225.5 NTU in the middle layer, and 486.6 NTU in the bottom layer. This finding indicates the occurrence of intensive sediment deposition at the bottom of the pond which has the potential to reduce the capacity and reduce the effectiveness of flood control. Therefore, sedimentation control through the construction of sediment traps, periodic dredging, management of sluice gates, and reduction of sediment sources from the water catchment area needs to be implemented to maintain the sustainability of the Cimpago Padang Lake Retention Pond function.

Abstract

Modern surveying technologies, including Total Station and Laser Waterpass, are essential in construction and surveying activities. However, SMKN 1 Bukittinggi still faces limited access to digital surveying instruments and limited structured training. This community service program aimed to improve the competence of teachers and students in operating digital measuring instruments through theoretical instruction, simulation, field practice, data analysis, and pretest-posttest evaluation. The implementation stages included coordination with the partner school, preparation of training modules, introduction to instrument principles, hands-on measurement activities, processing of field data using GIS and AutoCAD Civil 3D, mentoring, and program evaluation. The results showed an improvement in participants' conceptual understanding and practical skills. The post-training competency completion rate reached 32%, indicating that the training had a positive effect on participants' digital competence, although additional practice and continuous mentoring are still needed. The program also produced training materials and documentation that can support future learning at the school.
