Efforts to improve water management and resilience in Indonesia have focused on both technological cooperation and industrial sustainability.

In September 2026, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government began exploring technological partnerships with China’s Shenzhen Water Group. The discussions centered on utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to implement smart water management systems, aiming to improve distribution efficiency and reduce non-revenue water losses. This initiative is part of broader economic and digital transformation goals between Jakarta and Guangdong Province.

By October 2026, attention shifted toward addressing industrial water challenges in West Java. An upcoming workshop organized by Global Water Intelligence and Corporate Water Leaders aims to tackle significant water supply and pollution issues in the region, where over 4,000 factories discharge into local rivers. The initiative seeks to bring together industrial brands, financial institutions, and government representatives to convert these environmental challenges into investable actions.
