This research intends to investigate the relation between cause and effect which influence the water availability and water need, and then to build a formulation as an effort of intervention with high leverage. The object of this research is Batam island that is part of the Riau islands province-Indonesia. This province has been remained as the national strategy area based on the Government Regulation No 26/ 2008 about the spatial plan of national area. The methodology consists of the system dynamics approach that can integrate the complex and persistence system in analyzing water balance. In the system dynamics, the behaviour patterns are generated by the water availability and water need with increasing time and by using the main asumption that every complex system is sourced on the causal structure that is forming the system. The result is as the model of water balance due to the system dynamics generally in Indonesia and especially in Batam island. © IAEME Publication
