Global climate change results in an increase/decrease in rainfall, resulting in frequent occurrence of extreme rains that cause floods and landslides as well as prolonged droughts.. This study aims to determine the effect of climate change on the erosion potential of the Singkoyo watershed. The data used in the form of rain data obtained from Singkoyo Station (2008-2020), geological maps, maps of the earth’s appearance and land use maps. The method used in analyzing the erosion potential is USLE. The climate change scenario is carried out by multiplying the average monthly rainfall by -20%, -10%, 10% and 20%. The result of this research is the reduction of rain by 10% and 20% resulted in decreased erosion potential by 3.7 tons/ha/year (13.3%) and 7.3 tons/ha/year (26.2%). An increase in rainfall of 10% and 20% resulted in the potential for erosion to increase by 3.9 tons/ha/year (13.9%) and 7.9 tons/ha/year (28.1%). The conclusion of this study is that the relationship between rainfall and erosion potential is linear, meaning that an increase in rainfall causes an increase in erosion potential and vice versa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
