Abstract

This research focuses on predicting the streamflow of the Anai-weir catchment using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tools) and Mock models. The catchment studied is approximately 34,024 ha wide. The rainfall and climatological data were collected from the three nearest rainfall stations, namely Kandang IV (13.8 km far), Kasang (15.2 km far), and Sicincin Stations (11.2 km far), from 2010 to 2019. The first research methodology is to delineate the catchment, form a Hydrologic Response Unit (HRU), and then enter the climatological data into the SWAT model to estimate the daily streamflow. This daily streamflow is then averaged over a semi-monthly period. The second research methodology is to estimate an evapotranspiration depth based on the climatological data using the Modified Penman method, and then predict the semi-monthly average-daily streamflow using the Mock model. The results obtained from both methods are then compared with the Anai-weir AWLR-data. The average results from each method, namely, the SWAT model, the Mock model, and the AWLR data have the same tendency, but the Mock model results are closer than the SWAT model results to the AWLR data. This indicates that the Mock model is more suitable than the SWAT model for the existing data conditions. Even though the SWAT model considers more variables than the Mock model does.

Abstract

This research is located in Batang Mahat Lima Puluh Kota Regency, about 9.26 km2 from the narrowing location at Batu Kisok to the upstream, prone to flood. Due to several flooding events in Batang Mahat, various assumptions and hypotheses have emerged regarding the causes of Batang Mahat flooding. This research analyses the causes of flooding in Batang Mahat using Steady Flow simulation in HEC-RAS 6.2 software. The result implies that two factors caused the flood: (1) The channel capacity is insufficient to accommodate flood water discharge, where the simulation results shown at the Q50 discharge (2003.07 m3/s) flood inundated several areas in cross-sections upstream and tributary. (2) The impact of the narrowing location at the river channel in Batu Kisok, which is shown by the simulation of a decrease in water elevation at eight cross-sections at the upstream and two cross-sections at the tributary after the cross-sections in Batu Kisok are widened from ±30 m to ±45 m (50%), ±60 m (100%), and ±75 m (150%).
