Tulis is one of the watersheds in the Mrica Reservoir Catchment Area in Indonesia. The Tulis Watershed has an area of 12,750 ha, which is dominated by hilly areas with areas below alluvial-colluvial. This study aimed to map the potential distribution of the landslides in the Tulis Watershed. As the Tulis Watershed has the potential for landslides, this study was conducted by using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) imagery year 2016. This study considered five aspects that affect landslides, namely: geological type, soil regolith depth, fault, slope, and soil texture. Areas in the Tulis Watershed were classified into five levels of landslide potential The following landslide classes and the area they cover were predicted after applying the formula: very low (0%), low (48%, 6,126 ha), moderate (51%, 6,548 ha), high (0.5%, 63 ha), and very high (0.1%, 13 ha). From the results of the level of potential landslides, several prevention and mitigation measures are recommended according to the level. For shallow landslide levels, it is recommended that relocation centers should be set up. In contrast, for those areas with very high landslide potential, it is necessary to mitigate and install Early Warning System (EWS) tools and prepare the community for adaptation.
Watersheds (DAS), which are river basins flowing in one outlet and limited by hills and mountains, often occur in land degradation or erosion. Erosion that occurs is said to be safe if it does not exceed the tolerable erosion or erosion tolerance limits or often called T-values. With regard to problems on sloping land in a watershed, the purpose of this study is to calculate the value of T-values or erosion tolerance limits. Calculation of T-values using the Hammer method (1981), namely by observing the factors of soil depth and effective depth of roots, and resources life of 300 or 400 years. T-value results are classified into 4 classes, namely (tons/ha/year) : (1) very low (<5), (2) low (5-25), (3) high (25-50), and (4) very high (> 50). The research location in the Tulis watershed is 12,750 ha in DTW (Reservoir Catchment Area) Mrica Banjarnegara. From the calculation of the T-value obtained results: very low 0.03% (3.8 ha), low 2.46% (313.7 ha), high 49.31% (6,287 ha), and very high 48.2% (6,145.5 ha).
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.
