Sendang – Tulungagung's Highland District with Waduk Wonorejo Reservoir Recreation
Sendang is a highland district in the Tulungagung Regency associated with the Waduk Wonorejo (Wonorejo Reservoir) – the most significant water infrastructure in the Tulungagung zone and an increasingly popular freshwater recreation destination. The Waduk Wonorejo dam and reservoir was constructed to provide water supply, flood control, and irrigation water for the Tulungagung zone, with the reservoir filling the highland valley to create the large freshwater lake surrounded by the tropical mountain landscape. The reservoir has become a tourism destination – the calm freshwater lake with the highland mountain backdrop, the cool highland climate, and the water recreation activities (boat rides, fishing) create an inland water tourism attraction that complements the south coast beach tourism. The Sendang highland zone creates the mountain landscape that is distinctly cooler than the lowland city areas – the highland temperatures create a welcome retreat from the tropical heat of the valley and the coast. The highland vegetation, the mountain views, and the reservoir scenery create the scenic landscape that drives the growing visitor interest. Clove and cacao tree crops on the highland slopes above the reservoir zone create the highland agricultural economy. The Tulungagung marble craft industry at Campurdarat is accessible within the regency, creating the commercially distinctive heritage. The south coast Indian Ocean beaches are accessible south from Tulungagung city. The combination of the reservoir recreation, the highland scenery, the marble craft shopping, and the coastal beaches creates the multi-dimensional tourism proposition of Tulungagung.
