Within the World Bank’s Integrated River Basin Master Plan (IRBMP) project in Pemali Comal, Indonesia, Deltares experts collaborated with regional and local government counterparts as well as other stakeholders to prepare an integrated master plan for managing operational water management issues in the river basin. River basin issues were discussed and a conceptual model of the integrated water resources system was developed. Data and modelling requirements were collectively identified prior to the co-construction of an integrated water allocation model for the basin in RIBASIM. Potential measures were co-designed, modelled, analysed and evaluated with local stakeholders in joint workshops. The structured planning process meant that the IRBMP could be finalised, approved and adopted by local and regional decision makers according to the project schedule
