SCOPE
The ultimate aim of Ecological Indicators is to integrate the monitoring and assessment of ecological and environmental indicators with management practices. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the applied scienti c development and review of traditional indicator applications as well as for theoretical, modelling and quantitative approaches such as index development. Research into the following areas will be published. All aspects of ecological and environmental indicators and indices. New indicators, and new approaches and methods for indicator development, testing and use. Development and modelling of indices, e.g. application of indicator suites across multiple scales and resources. Analysis and research of resource, system- and scale-speci c indicators. Methods for integration of social and other valuation metrics for the production of scienti cally rigorous and politically-relevant assessments using indicator-based monitoring and assessment programs.
Approaches on how research indicators can be transformed into direct application for management purposes. Broader assessment objectives and methods, e.g. biodiversity, biological integrity, and sustainability, through the use of indicators.
Resource-speci c indicators such as landscape, agroecosystems, forests ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems, wetlands, etc.

SJR
The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scienti c in uence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scienti c in uence of the average article in a journal it expresses how central to the global

Theimportanceofwatertolivingcreaturesisalltooevident.
Therefore,itisofutmostimportancetomaintainthesustainabil- ityofwaterresources,sothattheseresourcescanbeutilisedby humansandothers,nowandalsointhefuture.Inoneofthemost denselypopulatedprovincesofIndonesia,WestJava,thecondi- tionsofwaterresourcesarepoor.Theincreasein populationin theprovincehasresultedintheincreaseddemandforcleanwater.
Tofulfilthedemand,bothsurfaceandgroundwaterresourcesin WestJavaareutilised.Bothresourcesaredependentonrainfall.The availabilityofthesewaterresourcesisabundant,duetohighrain- fallinmostareasofWestJava.However,thisabundanceofwateris notproperlymanaged,andhasresultedinwatershortagesinsome areasoftheprovince(RahmatandWangsaatmadja,2007).Interms oftheirquality,mostsurfaceandgroundwaterresourcesinWest Javaarepollutedbydomestic,agriculturalandindustrialactivities.
Inthelastdecade,theprovincialgovernmentofWestJavahas implementedvariousprogramstoimprovetheconditionofwater resources.However,theseprogramshavenotbeensuccessful.Itis thereforeimportanttoobtainacomprehensiveunderstandingof thecurrentstatusoftheconditionofwaterresourcesinWestJava.
Oncethisinformationhasbeenobtained,relevantprogramscanbe designedtoimprovethequalityofthewaterresources.

Therefore,anewwatersustainabilityindexcalledtheWestJava WaterSustainabilityIndex(WJWSI)wasrecentlydevelopedtohelp improvethewaterresourcesmanagementinWestJava(Juwana etal.,2010a,b).TheWJWSIwasspecificallydeveloped withthe involvementof local water stakeholdersand wasbased onthe naturalandsocio-economiccharacteristicsofWestJava.

TheWestJavaProvinceis oneof themosthighlypopulated provinces,whichis adjacenttotheJakarta Province.Duetoits location, the Jakarta Province relies heavily on the West Java Provinceforvariousneedssuchaslabour,rawmaterialsforindus- triesand daily householdneeds. Thenatural resourcesinWest Javahave been utilised by various sectors and stakeholders in Indonesia,whichhaveresultedinthedegradationofenvironmental resources,includingwaterresources(RahmatandWangsaatmadja,
2007).TheaverageannualrainfallinthemountainareasofWest JavaProvinceisbetween3000and5000mm/year,whereasinother areasitisabout2000mm/year.
ThepopulationinWestJavahasincreasedprogressivelyfrom yeartoyear.In2006,forexample,thepopulationwas40.74million, andin2009,itwas43.02million(18.11%ofthenationalpopula- tion).TheincreasedpopulationinWestJavahasmadesignificant impactsontheexistinglanduse.Apartfromtheneedforhousing forpeopleinWestJavaduetotheincreasedpopulation,thedemand fromindustriesintheJakartaProvincehasalsoledtochangesin adjacentprovinces,namelytheWestJavaandtheBanten(Bappeda Team,2004).Asaresult,forestryandagriculturalareasinthese provinceshavesignificantlychanged.
TheWestJavaProvincehas40catchments.Ofthesecatchments, themainriversin22catchmentsflowintothenorthernpartsofthe provinceandthemainriversintheother18catchmentsflowinto thesouthernpartsoftheprovince.AstudybyHasibuan(2005) reportedthat18WestJavacatchmentswereinacriticalcondition, basedonvariousfactorsincludingthewaterqualityofmajorrivers, landuseandsoilsaturation.
Ingeneral,theconditionofwaterresourcesintheWestJava catchments,bothintermsofqualityandquantity,arefarfromsat- isfactory.Intermsofwaterquality,fivemainriversinWestJava catchmentsincludingCitarum,Ciliwung,Citanduy,Cileungsiand CimanukRiversareconsideredcritical,basedonthewaterqual- itythattheseriversdidnotmeetthenationalstandardsforwater qualityduring2005–2009(Tarigan,2009).Themaincontributors tothelowwaterqualityoftheseriversaretheindustriespolluting therivers,aswellasdomesticandagriculturaldischarge.TheEnvi- ronmentalProtectionAgency(EPA)ofWestJava(2008)statedthat asmanyas542industrieswerepollutingriversinWestJava.The riversalsosufferedfromtheimproperdischargeof79.8haofagri- culturalwasteanddomesticwasteof8.6millionpeople.Interms ofwaterquantity,inthelasttwodecades,manyareasinWestJava havesufferedfromdroughtandfloods(Wangsaatmaja,2004).Of the40catchmentsinWestJava,thethreecatchmentsofCitarum, CiliwungandCitanduy(presentedinFig.1)areconsideredhighly importantforvariousreasons.Thefollowingsub-sectionsdescribe thesereasonsandalsoprovideabriefdescriptionofthestatusof waterresourcesinthesethreecatchments.
