Abstract

The Ministry of Forestry has designated the Way Rarem sub-watershed, part of Tulang Bawang, a critical watershed, as a priority. Several reasons cause land criticality, including deforestation and inappropriate land use, which cause erosion and sedimentation. In this case, the criticality of the watershed occurs due to the high erosion rate, which impacts flooding in the Way Rarem subwatershed area. Over the past year, there have been flood disasters at five points in the Tulang Bawang watershed. Based on information from BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency), the flood disaster affected 140 families. The losses that occur due to flooding that arise due to erosion and sedimentation need to be studied in more depth; therefore, the situation in the Way Rarem Sub-watershed is important to study further. The objectives of this study are to determine the Erosion Hazard Index, measure the erosion rate in the Way Rarem sub-watershed using the USLE method, and provide adequate conservation strategies. The required data are rainfall data, soil type, slope, and land use in 2019 and 2023 as a comparison. GIS was used to process all the data. The results showed that the erosion rate in 2019 was 21933.9 tons/ha/year, whereas in 2023, it was 14187.4 tons/ha/year, with the Erosion Hazard Index dominated by the 'Very High' category. For conservation direction, three alternative conservation activities are carried out, namely by vegetative, mechanical, and vegetative-mechanical methods. Based on the results of the analysis, the appropriate conservation direction to reduce the erosion rate is vegetative-mechanical conservation, which can reduce the erosion rate by 66.9% of the existing erosion rate. From the results obtained, it is hoped that new concepts in land conservation that have not yet been implemented in the Way Rarem Sub-watershed can be taken into consideration. Combining two conservation methods, vegetative and mechanical, can be an alternative to controlling erosion that occurs in the Way Rarem Sub-watershed.

Abstract

Ministry of Forestry has designated Kreo Sub-watershed, part of Garang Watershed, a critical area due to high erosion rates contributing to flooding in Semarang. Rapid land use changes accelerate environmental degradation, increasing erosion and sedimentation risks. This study measures erosion and sedimentation rates in Kreo Sub-watershed using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool), determines Erosion Hazard Index, and proposes erosion control solutions based on Land Rehabilitation and Soil Conservation Analysis (ARLKT) with vegetative conservation. ARLKT approach includes simulating new land use scenarios to assess their impact on erosion reduction. To ensure SWAT modelling accurately represents field conditions and not overestimate—allowing conservation recommendations based on ARLKT applied appropriately—a field-based sedimentation analysis also conducted. The study utilizes rainfall, soil type, slope, and land use data in 2019 and 2024 from satellite imagery and validated using a confusion matrix. Results indicate a shift in Erosion Hazard Index from predominantly ‘Moderate’ in 2019 to ‘High’ in 2024, underscoring urgent need for sustainable watershed management. By integrating remote sensing, field validation, and hydrological modeling, this study offers a precise, data-driven approach to erosion control. The findings serve critical reference for policymakers in developing effective conservation strategies to enhance watershed resilience.
