This situation makes the Bengawan Solo watershed vulnerable to damage and difficult to develop. Even though the Bengawan Solo watershed has great potential, one of which is the development of water tourism. With natural conditions that support the development of water tourism, it is suitable to be developed in the Bengawan Solo watershed area, but before it is developed into water tourism, it should have special regulations for the sustainability of the Bengawan Solo watershed. This research is research that uses qualitative data and a critical legal approach, then coupled with field observations. The results of the research in this study are: (1) there are no specific rules regarding the Bengawan Solo watershed, but there are rules that are still general regarding Bengawan Solo management policies. (2) the potential for the development of water tourism in the Bengawan Solo watershed is quite potent and has an impact on the preservation of the Bengawn Solo watershed and provides additional income for the community. (3) the opportunity to make special regulations regarding the Bengawan Solo watershed still exists, because it can take as an example the presidential regulation regarding the Citarum watershed.
