PENGELOLAAN SUMBER DAYA AIR PASCA DIBATALKANNYA UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 7 TAHUN 2004 TENTANG SUMBER DAYA AIR

Abstract

Law Number 7 of 2004 on Water Resources was officially revoked by the Constitutional Court because it contradicted Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. The revocation is also applied to all implementing regulations thereunder resulting in a legal vacuum. To fill the legal void and to wait for the new Water Resources Law, the Constitutional Court decided to re-enact Law no. 11 Year 1974 on Watering. With the revocation of the Water Resources Act, it restores the community's rights to clean water privatization by the private sectors. But, the impact for the government is that the control over the water is controlled by the state again. For drinking water business, the revocation of the Water Resources Law causes legal uncertainty resulting from the withdrawal of all implementing regulations so that there is no law available. The research method used is normative method, by collecting data of primary, secondary and tertiary law. What should be done by the government is to immediately draft a new Water Resources Act in accordance with the mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, and the participation of private parties should be regulated but still limited and it is the State that manages the water resources.
