Abstract

The Paguyaman Watershed represents a strategically significant and essential water resource for the surrounding region. In recent years, this area has become increasingly vulnerable to environmental pressures, including heightened sedimentation, changes in land use, declining water quality, and more frequent flooding events. This study aims to evaluate the morphometric characteristics of the Paguyaman Watershed and their relationship to flood vulnerability observed over the past five years. Morphometric analysis was conducted using quantitative methods within GIS and remote sensing approach. The primary dataset utilized was DEMNAS. The analyzed morphometric parameters include drainage density (3.95), stream frequency (8.61), bifurcation ratio (8.41), form factor (0.13), elongation ratio (0.40), and ruggedness number (8.20). These parameter values indicate that the Paguyaman Watershed possesses an elongated concave shape, steep topography, high surface runoff intensity, and low infiltration capacity. The findings reveal that the watershed exhibits characteristics of high flood susceptibility, as evidenced by recurrent flood events in the villages of Totopo, Tolite, and Juria over the last five years. The spatial pattern of flood vulnerability within the watershed is closely linked to morphological features, such as steep slopes, low soil infiltration capacity, and excessive surface flow accumulation—particularly within the Bilato and Boliyohuto sub-districts.

Abstract

This study conducts a comparative morphometric analysis of the Alo and Molamahu sub-watersheds, located in the upstream Limboto Watershed, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, to assess flood risk. Using the National Digital Elevation Model (DEMNAS) with an 8-m spatial resolution, classical morphometric parameters were derived through remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Both sub-watersheds share a maximum stream order of 4 and exhibit relatively high drainage density and stream frequency, indicating rapid surface runoff. However, the Molamahu sub-watershed is larger, steeper, and has a higher ruggedness number than Alo, suggesting greater erosion potential and higher susceptibility to landslides and flash floods. In contrast, Alo shows gentler slopes but remains flood-prone due to short overland flow paths. The analysis demonstrates that morphometric characteristics directly influence flood dynamics, highlighting the need for tailored watershed management. Recommended strategies include erosion control and slope stabilization in Molamahu, and water retention measures in Alo, supported by broader reforestation efforts across the Limboto system.
