Rivarian, seorang bocah

Riparian zone is the interface between land and a flowing surface water body. Plant communities along the river margins are called riparian vegetation, characterized by hydrophilic plants. Riparian zones are significant in ecology, environmental management and civil engineering due to their role in soil conservation, their biodiversity and the influence they have on aquatic ecosystems. Riparian zones occur in many forms including grassland, woodland, wetland or even non-vegetative. In some regions the terms riparian woodland, riparian forest, riparian buffer zone or riparian strip are used to characterize a riparian zone. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riparian)


RIVARIAN, nama itu yang jauh-jauh hari dipesankan oleh istriku buat si jabang bayi yang tak lama lagi akan lahir. Terinspirasi dari pengalamannya ketika menikmati keindahan alam Longakan di sepanjang sungai di pedalaman Kalimantan Timur, waktu mahasiswa dulu. Jadilah nama itu Muhammad Rivarian Permadi, dia akan tumbuh menjadi seorang yang peduli terhadap lingkungan insya allah dengan jiwa seninya yang ia miliki, wawasana lingkungannya yang akan dia capai, dan kegigihan dan keberaniannya mempertahankan ekosistem yang tersisa...
