Abstract

Flooding is one of the causes of environmental damage worldwide. Several things that can affect flooding in urban areas, Palembang experiences periodic flooding problems, especially every rainy season. The data in this article consists of primary data obtained from location surveys in retention ponds, including: documentation, topography, depth of retention ponds and secondary data from related agencies, including: location maps, climatology, regional topography. Palembang City has varying levels of flood vulnerability: high (Jakabaring, Kertapati, Plaju, and Seberang Ulu), medium (Ilir Barat and Sukarame), and low (Alang-Alang Lebar). Lowland areas with poor drainage systems require more attention. Retention ponds play an important role in managing rainwater runoff, such as the Jakabaring Sports Hall (200,000 m²), Ogan Permai Indah (22,217 m²), and Brimob Demang Lebar Daun (30,000 m²). The city's topography, which is mostly flat and low, especially around the Musi River, further increases the risk of flooding.

Abstract

Palembang City frequently experienced flooding during the rainy season, necessitating effective urban water management strategies such as the development of retention ponds. This study employed several analytical methods, including erosion level assessment using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), sediment yield estimation through bedload traps and suspended sediment samplers, dead storage volume analysis by comparing storage capacities before and after sedimentation, sediment thickness rate calculation based on total erosion per unit area, and retention pond lifespan prediction using dead storage capacity, sediment discharge, and sediment specific weight. The results indicated extremely severe erosion rates ranging from 3,241 to 4,593 t/ha/year (>480 t/ha/year) and very high sediment yields between 4,368 and 7,018.5 t/year (>500 t/year). Sediment accumulation reduced storage efficiency, with dead storage volume reaching 44–61.11%. Siti Khadijah, RC reservoir, Talang Aman I, and IBA retention ponds were classified as having very large dead storage volumes, while Talang Aman II retention pond was in a large category. Sediment thickness rates ranged from 227.2 to 397.9 mm/year (>50 mm/year), indicating a very high sedimentation rate. Consequently, the estimated operational lifespan of the ponds was very short, between 1.86 and 6.36 years (<10 years). In conclusion, the retention pond areas in Palembang exhibited critical erosion and sedimentation issues, resulting in high sediment accumulation, reduced storage capacity, and significantly shortened pond lifespans. These findings highlight the urgent need for sustainable sediment management and maintenance strategies to enhance the effectiveness and longevity of urban retention ponds.
