Abstract

An inland waterway will be constructed in an existing channel in West Java, Indonesia. The change of salinity in a river due to capital dredging is investigated using a finite element modeling system. The location of the research is the Cikarang Bekasi Laut (CBL) channel, Bekasi Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The aim of this study is to simulate salinity propagation in the CBL before and after capital dredging. Salinity modeling is carried out using the Surface-water Modeling System (SMS). Field surveys of the topography, bathymetry, currents and water level are conducted for the model. The model results are validated with the current and water level field measurements. The field and model results agree well. The current and salinity results show that the trends are correlated with river discharges. After the capital dredging, the salinity in the CBL increases. Mitigation is carried out by constructing a check dam, which can reduce the average salinity in the upstream region by up to 0.05 ppt during the wet season and up to 0.12 ppt during the dry season.

Abstract

The 2021 South Kalimantan flood was recorded as the most serious ever to have taken place in the province. It occurred due to high-intensity rain during the period 10-19 January, accompanied by a spring tide. This study provides an overview of the disaster, with reference to the hydro-meteorological conditions (topography, tides, and precipitation). The method used was the analysis of the precipitation and its monthly rainfall pattern anomalies using remote sensing data. A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was also analyzed to indicate the most noticeably flood-affected area. In certain areas, total precipitation during the ten days reached 672.8 mm, with daily precipitation peaking at 255 mm on January 14, greater than the 25-year return period value. The flood coincided with a spring tide, which peaked at 1.21 m on the evening of January 15. Using 20- year GPM data, it was found that ENSO and IOD coexisted with both the highest and lowest anomalies. With a La Niña event at the end of 2020,  a positive precipitation anomaly in 2021 was expected. The extreme precipitation is suspected to be the main driver of the  2021 South Kalimantan flood, whose impact was worsened by the spring tides. This study conducts further research on the correlation between land-use change, rainfall, spring tide and flooding in South Kalimantan. In addition, it is recommended that the government plan flood risk management by prioritizing areas based on vulnerability to climate hazards.
