Visiting A River Basins Management Office

It is Wednesday. The Yellow Wednesday (Buda Palguna 14). At 08:45 by a Gojek car I went to Public Works Polytechnic to gather with a team. I arrived there at 08:45 and soon went to the waiting room. A moment later the other team members came. They were Arus Horizon, Mustofa Kamal, Djoko Roosmany, Wahyu Kusno Wibowo, and Bambang Pujo. At 09:00 the team, IPPU Central Java Team, left the place for Kartasura. We would go to the River Basins Management Office of Bengawan Solo (BBWS Bengawan Solo).

Our trip was going smooth. Mustofa's car brought me to Kartasura with a nice atmosphere. At Kartasura we stopped by at Mbok Giyem Soto shop to have breakfast. I just consumed sweet tea and fried tempeh because I had been full of breakfast at home. At 09:50 we arrived at the office. We seeked the place and found that it was at south place of the campus. At this place we joined Masrianto and Danang Atmojo made the team came to 8 people.

We had a meeting in the office to sign 3 parties cooperation contracts between BBWS Bengawan Solo. IPPU Central Java, and dam caring non government organizations. There were 4 organizations, they were Tirta Jaya of Sragen Ketro Dam, Ngudi Tirta Lestari of Boyolali Cengklik Dam, Semut Ireng of Wonogiri Nawangan Dam, and Kyai Deling of Karanganyar Delingan Dams. They were represented by Susanto, Turut Raharjo, Bayu Aji Prasetyo & Tyas Puji, and Sigit Sugiyanto & Sihyanto. However, till the time the chief of BBWS Bengawan Solo did not show up. The Office was represented by Santoso and Suryadi who had no authority to sign the contracts. So, we changed the session to discussion. In the discussion we found that the organizations were just established to support the plantation of fruit trees along the dam greenbelt areas. The plantation was due to the action of GNKPA (Gerakan Nasional Kemitraan Penyelamatan Air or Saving Water Partnership National Movement). Some of trees were found dead. The organizations who had to look after did not know to do since they did not receive direction. At 12:00 the meeting concluded and we dismissed.

We went back to Semarang. The car went to Boyolali along national road to look for fuel named Dexlite. Then we entered the tol road at Boyolali Gate. We stopped by at Joglo Rest Area. We enjoyed coffee there. At about 15:00 we arrived at Public Works Polytechnic campus. I went back home by a Gojek car. At 15:30 I arrived at home.

In the evening I felt exhousted. I made the report but I lost concentration. I measured the blood pressure. It was 133/77. It was not worrying. So I went to sleep.
