Karian–Dam Serpong Water Conveyance System (KSCS)

The KSCS project area is located within Banten Province, covering Lebak Regency, Tangerang Regency, and South Tangerang City, as well as Parung Panjang District in Bogor Regency, West Java Province. The project is intended to develop a comprehensive raw-water conveyance system from Karian Dam to the Serpong Water Treatment Plant and four additional branch WTPs.

The main conveyance pipeline spans approximately 60 km, planned with diameters of 2000 mm and 1800 mm. This infrastructure is designed to support the water allocation from Karian Dam through a phased development approach, ensuring sustainability and adaptability to regional water demands.

Project Highlights
Water Availability Ensuring sustainable raw-water supply for Banten and Greater Jakarta.
60 km Transmission Pipeline connection from Karian Dam to Serpong WTP and branch WTPs.
Efficiency Supports efficient regional water-distribution systems.
Integration Collaboration between Central Government, BBWS C3, and WTP operators.

KSCS Project Details

The Karian-Dam Serpong Water Conveyance System (KSCS) is a strategic national infrastructure project designed to channel raw water from the Karian Dam to the Serpong Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and several branch WTPs. The system is essential to improving water availability and ensuring long-term water security for the rapidly growing regions of Banten and Greater Jakarta.

Main Components
  • Main transmission pipeline (±60 km length)
  • Pipeline diameters: D2000 mm and D1800 mm
  • Branch pipelines to regional WTPs
  • Air valves, drain valves, and isolation valves along the alignment
  • Control structures and instrumentation systems
  • SCADA integration for monitoring and operations
Project Alignment
  • Karian Dam (Lebak Regency, Banten Province)
  • Tangerang Regency corridor
  • South Tangerang City
  • Parung Panjang District (Bogor Regency, West Java)
  • Termination at Serpong Water Treatment Plant
Project Phasing

The KSCS is implemented through a multi-package construction strategy to optimize scheduling, budget allocation, and field coordination. Each package covers specific pipeline segments, appurtenances, and structural works. The phased approach ensures flexibility in execution while maintaining alignment with national water-supply targets.

Key Stakeholders
  • Ministry of Public Works (PU)
  • BBWS Cidanau Ciujung Cidurian (C3)
  • Local Government of Banten and West Java Provinces

About the Project

Background & Purpose

Rapid development across Banten and Greater Jakarta has placed significant pressure on existing water infrastructure. The KSCS project is designed to address these challenges by providing a reliable raw-water transmission system that meets current and future demand. It also supports government initiatives aimed at improving water security, reducing dependency on groundwater, and promoting sustainable urban development.

Alignment With National Water Programs

KSCS is part of Indonesia’s long-term water-resource management strategy under the Directorate General of Water Resources (DGWR) of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. The project aligns with national directives focusing on raw-water supply, infrastructure resilience, and integrated basin management across the Cidanau–Ciujung–Cidurian (C3) river basin region.

Engineering & Implementation

Implementation of KSCS involves coordinated efforts among engineering consultants, construction contractors, supervisory teams, and government agencies. The project incorporates modern engineering practices, advanced pipeline materials, automated control systems, and SCADA monitoring to ensure efficient operations and long-term asset reliability.

Long-Term Impact

Once fully operational, KSCS will significantly strengthen water distribution capacity for millions of residents. It supports domestic, commercial, and industrial water needs, contributes to the reduction of groundwater extraction, and enhances the overall resilience of regional water infrastructure—ensuring that water continues to flow sustainably from Karian Dam to the communities that depend on it.
