The Great Malang bypassed 12 sub-watershed which is 4 of them pass 3 regency / city directly. Therefore, it needs an integrated spatial arrangement between the three regions.

The results of the water carrying capacity study show that Metro and the Bango Sub-watershed is very worrying because its critical condition has been exceeded before 2015. While the Amprong and Manten sub-waters are still safe until 2030. Key word: Amprong, Bango, Manten, Metro, Sub-watershed, Water carrying capacity
