Index and concentration of suspended<br />

Determining category of Erosion Danger<br />

Index (EDI) as part of monitoring<br />

program.<br />

Development management plans or<br />

guidelines to (1) restrict harvesting in<br />

watershed protection areas and (2)<br />

rehabilitate degraded and other areas at<br />

risk of erosion areas and/or where<br />

monitoring shows excessive erosion levels.<br />

determined by comparing Qmax and Qmin<br />

periodically, by using criteria as follows:<br />

1.00 < WRI < 1.25: very good category<br />

1.25 < WRI < 1.66 : good category<br />

1.66 < WRI < 2.50 : moderate category<br />

2.50 < WRI < 5 : bad category<br />

WRI > 5 : very bad category<br />

Category of concentration of suspended<br />

sediment load (Cs) in average periodically,<br />

by using criteria as follows:<br />

Cs < 100 mg/l: good category<br />

100 < Cs < 250 mg/l : moderate category<br />

250 < Cs < 500 mg/l: bad category<br />

Cs ? 500 mg/l : very bad category<br />

Category of Erosion Danger Index (EDI), by<br />

using criteria as follows:<br />

EDI < 1 : low category<br />

1 < EDI < 4 : moderate category<br />

4 < EDI < 10 : high category<br />

EDI > 10 : very high category<br />

<strong>HCV</strong>4.3 Forests providing critical barriers to destructive fire<br />

Rationale<br />

Since the 1980’s fire has had a serious and continuing impact on the forest of Indonesia.<br />

These have been particularly evident on Sumatra and Borneo, especially in El Nino years.<br />

It is recognized as important that large landscape level forests be protected from further<br />

fire damage. An FMU in a key position can prevent fire spreading to other areas. This is<br />

particularly important if the firewall prevents ignition of degraded and other lands that<br />

may otherwise be susceptible to fire.
