The PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (Telkom) South and Central Kalimantan Telecommunications Region and Telkom subsidiary PT Telekomunikasi Selular Tbk (Telkomsel) coordinated with Bank Pembangunan Daerah Kalimantan Selatan (Bank Kalsel) and the South Kalimantan Province Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) to discuss the implementation of the Smart Water Meter (SWM) system for mining companies in South Kalimantan.
The activity was attended by representatives from Bank Kalsel, the South Kalimantan Bapenda, Telkom, and Telkomsel as a form of multi-party collaboration for supporting digital water resource management in the mining sector.
The Telkomsel team explained the SMW concept at the meeting and demonstrated the features and functions of the SWM monitoring dashboard. The system is designed to provide convenience in real-time monitoring of water usage while presenting accurate and transparent data. Mining companies are expected to be able to more easily monitor and report water usage with the technology, which is also useful in fulfilling environmental regulatory obligations.
The opportunity to install SMWs on a large scale was also a major concern in the discussion. There is a potential for installing as many as 150 SWM points at various mining company locations in South Kalimantan. To support the initiative, Bank Kalsel and the South Kalimantan Bapenda stated that they will immediately conduct internal coordination to discuss the funding scheme and budget allocation for the project, so that implementation can run effectively and on target.
Through the collaboration, all parties hope that the implementation of SMWs can be realized immediately and become an example for other regions in Indonesia.
