ABSTRACT

Flooding is a disaster for many regions in Indonesia. Bojonegoro is a district which every year has a high flood threat. The cause of flood from the reviewed through google earth imageryry,

meteorological data, maps of topography, and hydrological data such of extents, discharge, and other

data about watershed Bojonegoro. Area of Bojonegoro flood occur due to overflowing of bengawan

solo rivers which the morphological is meandering river and have formed a bottle neck in the shape of the body area of the river. Sandbar river, meander scars, and oxbow lake on the imagerys which can be

interpreted that the watershed of Bengawan Solo river part of Bojonegoro is the old stadia of which

dominant the deposition of the erosion, and erosion running horizontally which allows shallowing the rivers. The average level of precipitation thatrelatively high and volume capacity reductions of the

watershed makes flooding occurs every year. Rain harvesting method is the method of structural

mitigation based on ecohydrology. Rain harvesting system has three basic elements that is namely the area of collection, conveyances system, and storage facilities. In this research emphasized at the

elements of the collection area and flood prevention in the district of Bojonegoro which is

the zonation area for application method of harvesting rain are in the headwater to the watershed

of river solo Bojonegoro. The Application of zonation based on the composition of the constituent rocks and slope. Placing of rain harvesting methods applied in the watershed of bengawan

solo that composed by loose material of sand to gravel, sandstone, and coarse grained of sedimentary

rock, and placement in areas that have a flat to gentle slope.

Keywords: Flood, Ecohydrology, Strutural Mitigation, Rain Harversting.

1. Introduction

1.1.Background

Indonesia is an archipelago state situated on the equator which is geographically flanked

by continent of Asia on the north and the continent of Australian on the south which resulted

in Indonesia having two seasons, the dry season and the rainy season. On both sides of the

season, Indonesia is experiencing problems of drought during the dry season and flooding in

the rainy season. In general structural mitigation will be built reservoir or embung, but in this

paper will be handled with the principle of ecohydrology using rain harvesting method. In

this paper focuses on the handling of flood disaster in Bengawan solo district of Bojonegoro.

1.2. Flood

Definition of Flood Disaster According to Law No.24 of 2007, disaster is defined as an

event that threatens and disrupts the lives and livelihoods of the people. Disasters can be

328

caused by natural factors and / or non-natural factors nor human factors so it emergence of

human fatalities, environmental damage, property loss, and psychological impact. Flooding is

defined as the inundated somewhere due to overflow of water that exceeds the drainage

capacity in a region and causes physical, social and economic losses (Rahayu et al, 2009).

Flooding is a seasonal threat that occurs when the body of water overflow channels

that exist and inundate the surrounding area. Flooding is natural threats which often occur and

most disadvantageous, both humanitarian and economic (IDEP, 2007). Simply the flood can

be defined as the presence of water in a large area so that covers the earth's surface area.

Particularly in Bojonegoro, floods are the most frequent disasters and be the cycle That goes

on during the rainy season. The cause of the floods that occurred in Bojonegoro due to floods

from the watershed before the city of Bojonegoro nor heavy rain that flushed during the rainy

season. According to (Dwi ratna putri, et al 2010) in the journals of the conservation

directives of Bengawan Solo river area through urban areas that the area of the Solo River

solo through Bojonegoro Urban is 34.3204 km2. The characteristic of Bengawan Solo River

of Urban has a length of 18.9 km with a slope of the river flow of about 1: 10,000, the width

of the river is approximately 150 meters with the depth of 7 meters.The maximum river

capacity ranges from m³ / sec to 1,800 m³ / sec. The result of mononobe analysis calculation

from rainfall data which used to calculate peak discharge of river water and it can be

knownthat there is an increase of river water discharge every year.

According to (Bobby Arina Rizki, 2014) in the journals of characteristic analysis of

bengawan solo river declare the extreme annual rainfall in the watershed of the headwaters of

Bengawan Solo river causes the stream flow discharge which is large in several tributaries

between Bendung Colo, Sukoharjo up to Jurug, Surakarta.The amount of flow discharge

found in each varies of tributary with each occurrence of large rain depending on which

sub-watersheds there are rainfall. The characteristics of river flood hydrograph (lateral inflow)

and flood travel time from upstream to downstream of the study can be identified by

simulation of some occurrence of rain. This research aims to know the flood characteristics in

the River of Bengawan Solo Colo Bendung Area - Surakarta City.The first step in this

research is the unit of hydrograph analysis and preliminary analysis of the watershed

parameter. Then, the hydrological model was compiled using HEC-HMS program to calibrate

the watershed parameter against the occurance of rain and real time flow discharge so

obtained the optimum parameter representing the watershed characteristics.Using the

optimum of watershed parameters which obtained, simulation of some occurance of rain can

be done. The results of this research indicate that the flood characteristics in the Bengawan

Solo River Bendung Colo - Kota Surakarta is affected by the lateral inflow of the tributaries

in the watershed, with the dominant tributaries being the Dengkeng and Samin Rivers.

1.3. Ecohydrology

Ecohydrology is a new paradigm which is a combination of hydrology and biota

dynamics in the catchment area to be applied in solving environmental problems (Zalewski et

al., 1997). Vivile & Littlewood (1997) emphasize ecohydrology as a combination of

biological sciences and physical sciences in an effort to be more understanding about

ecosystems.Vivoni (2003) states that ecohydrology studies focus on the relationship between

ecosystem patterns with soil moisture, climate and soil; As well as the role of vegetation in

water balance, surface flow energy. UNESCO (2004), states that the concept of ecohydrology

is based on 3 principles, namely framework, target and methodology. The concept of

ecohydrology with a scientific approach that takes into account the interaction of abiotic and

biotic aspects is formulated into three principles and one of the following theories:



329

The principle 1, the hydrological aspect, concerns the abiotic structure of the river system, the

dynamics of hydrological processes, and the specific spatial-temporal impacts of human

intervention;

Principle 2, which is ecological integrity, involves inter-relation of ecosystem components

showing the potential and capacity of ecosystem in producing environmental products and

services; and

Principle 3, ecotechnology, concerns the use of information and knowledge about abiotic and

biotic aspects (from principles 1 and 2) for the development of new ecotourism biotechnology

and hydrological system solutions that can enhance ecosystem capacity in producing

environmental products and services. Zalewski (2010), stated that the implementation of the

concept of ecohydrology as an integrated watershed management tool can be done with the

following four steps:

(A) monitoring threats by methods of hydrological quantification;

(B) assessing causal relationships with analysis of ecological patterns and processes;

(C) develop ecohydrological methods with ecotechnology using points (a) and (b) to increase

the production capacity and ecosystem environment services; and

(D) develop an integrated system solution by integrating the abiotic, biotic, and institutional

socioeconomic aspects.

According to (Pawitan and Haryani 2011) the needs for ecohydrology research in

Indonesia as follows:

- Research on trophic level (trophic level) in terms of balance between producers and

consumers in a lake or reservoir, and their relation to the water level

- Research in ecotonic areas between biota and water fluctuations

- Research and development of aquatic zonation

- Research development of riparian areas

- Research on improving water retention capability related to the environment

- Research fito technology to solve the problem of environmental pollution

- Urban ecohydrology research (rural ecohydrology)

- Ecohydrology research in the delta

- Research related to flood and drought

1.4. Rainwater Harvesting

According to Janette Worm and Tim van Hattum (2006), rainwater harvesting system

consists of three basic components namely, catchment area, delivery system and storage

reservoir. Catchment area or a place where the first rainwater is collected or collected, for

example the roof surface. Delivery System, is a system that drains rainwater from catchment

area to storage (storage). While the storage reservoir is where the rainwater accommodated

until the water is used for various purposes.

Norma Khoury-Nolde (2002), divides Rainwater Harvesting into several types. First,

the Occasional Type, ie water is stored for a few days only, in small containers. This type is

suitable when the rainfall pattern is same with several days without rain and when there is a

reliable alternative water source. Intermittent type, used in situations with a long rainy season

when all water needs are met by rainwater. During the dry season, water is collected from

other sources. Furthermore, the Partial Type, in this type, rainwater is used throughout the

year but the harvest is not sufficient to meet domestic needs. For example, rainwater is used

for drinking and cooking, while for other uses (eg bathing and washing) using water from

other sources. The latter is the Full Type, used year-round, the water for domestic use is



330

entirely derived from rainwater. In this case, there is usually no alternative water source other

than rain water.

Mrs. S.D. Khandagale and Mrs. V.A. Joshi stated that there are several components

that must be considered in making Rainwater Harvesting system, namely hydrogeology, land

use pattern, and hydro-meteorology. Hydrogeology includes the nature and level of aquifer,

soil cover, topography, depth and groundwater quality. Land use patterns such as land used

for industry, housing, green open spaces, etc. Hydro-meteorology includes the pattern,

duration and intensity of rainfall.

According to Patricia H. Waterfall (2004), Rainwater Harvesting has several benefits

among others, reducing the use of drinking water in other household necessities such as

bathing and washing, rainwater is a clean water that goof for plants, can prevent dryness in

plants, due to rain water that seep into the soil will reduce the accumulation of salt in the soil

that can inhibit the growth of plant roots, but it can also prevent flooding and erosion.

2. Research Methods

The method used is imagery interpretation, data overlay, map creation with ArcGIS

software, and literature study on related research.

3. Data

The resulting data are zonation map of rain harvesting method from overlay of Watershed

map, contour map, DEM map, and geological map.

4. Results and Discussion

The factors why Bojonegoro accur flooding beside from climatological factors there is a

geological factor. The first stage of discussion is interpretation of the imagery of Google Earth

Bojonegoro River watershed. Interpretation takes a form of the main stream and the

formations of which has the important geomorphological significance. Then the second stage

is to define the actual Landform and land use based on Google Earth Imageryry. Then in the

final stages of analysis carried out aspects of geomorphology. Can be found as follows:

Primary data in the form of remote sensing data GoogleEarth Imagery 2015 And 2016 is used

for actual land usage intrepetation and analysis of land form of Bengawan Solo River

Bojonegoro District.

From Figure 4.1 it can be seen that Bojonegoro has a fine texture which can be interpreted

in the area around the watershed and the North has a slope which relatively flat and then in

the south it can be seen that it has a medium texture where the slope begin to appear and have

a moderate slope.

In the figure 4.2 and 4.3 can be interpreted that the formation of bottle neck on the body of

the river is a state where the volume of the river experienced a reduction that resulted in the

overflow or in the form of flood if from the river part of the bottle is fully loaded.

It can be interpreted that the area in Figure 4.4 is a large water catchment area in which

water fills the enclosure if overflowing.

It can be interpreted that the residential area follows the direction of the river flow,

especially in the cut of meander area where in case of the overflow of water, the area receives

the most water delivery.

Based on the all imagery in Figure Section 4 it can be concluded that the original form of

the Bengawan Solo watershed of Bojonegoro is the Fluvial origin where in outline of the

Bojonegoro watershed is part of the meandering river downstream of the solo bengawan river.



331

In the Google Earth Imagery in Section 4 it can be noted that Bojonegoro watershed is mostly

floodplain and alluvial plains and has sandbars that signifies the dominance of precipitation

and erosion horizontally in the area. The units of lithology in the bodies of rivers and around

the river seen from their texture are unconsolidated units.

Geomorphological Aspect Analysis

Morphology:

Morphography: Bojonegoro watershed is dominated by plains, winding or bermeander

rivers, having a bottle neck formation on the river body

Morphometry: The central to the North Bojonegoro watershed has a relatively flat slope

and on the south it has a moderate slope.

Morfoganesa

Active Morphostructure: Not developed

Passive Morphostructure: Unconsolidated and weakly resistant units.

Morphodynamics: Erosion and deposition in horizontal or fluviatile processes

Morfoasiosiasi

From what is seen along the DAS bngawan solo Bojonegoro district is used for residential

areas where in fact the area has the highest flood vulnerability.

Map of this solo bengawan river watershed starts from upstream of waduk gajah mungkur

Wonogiri through Surakarta-Karanganyar-Sragen-Ngawi-Bojonegoro. The watershed is

bounded by red lines then by lithology through regional geological maps can be grouped into

4 zones, among others: Zone (Aluvium) (loose material) in gray, Zone (sandstone-breccia-

conglomerate) with yellow color Zone (Green hats, and Limestone Zone) are blue. From the

level of ability to pass the smallest to the greatest water in sequence are the Zone (napal,

claystone), Zone (Limestone), Zone (sandstone, breccia, conglomerate), then Zone

(Alluvium). From the map it can be found that the best zone in the lithologic aspect is in the

upstream and downstream areas coupled with a wider scope than the center.

5. Conclusion

In flood analysis according to the geomorphology aspect in the Bengawan Solo watershed of

Bojonegoro regency it is concluded that it is a meandering river and has a bottle neck

formation which also has a flat slope and is aggravated by the use of land along the river into

a settlement.

It is found that the best lithologic zone is in the upstream and downstream areas coupled

with a wider scope than the middle. So it can be concluded that the placement of rain

harvesting method is well applied in the upper watershed of Surakarta and downstream of

Bojonegoro watershed.
