ABSTRACT
Reservoirs have an important role in the management of water resources, such
as the provision of raw water, fisheries, agriculture, and electric power. This
study uses empirical legal methods to examine the legal protection of the
Mungkur Elephant Reservoir from pollution due to fish farming in Wonogiri
Regency. Currently, there are no specific regulations governing the protection
of the reservoir, although there are general regulations related to reservoirs,
the environment, and fisheries. Therefore, more specific regulations are needed
regarding the protection of fish farmers and fisheries management in the
Mungkur Elephant Reservoir. The Wonogiri Regency Government is advised to
increase the socialization of environmentally friendly fish farming methods and
strengthen supervision to prevent overall pollution of the reservoir from various aspects.
