This research was conducted to review land use land cover change in the catchment area of Musi Hydropower Plant in Bengkulu Province. The data used in this research is land use land cover map year 2000 to 2018 from Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia. The analyse was done by overlaying time series map of land use land cover map from 2000 to 2018 on the map of forest area. The result shows that primary dryland forest degradated significantly, around 568 ha less than 20 years. In the other side, settlements and built-up area significantly increase, 1.331 ha in 20 years. Meanwhile, the land use of agricultural dry land mixed with shrubs, in agregat decreased by 1.078 ha. The area of agricultural dry land mixed with shrubs was increase during period of 2000 to 2014, and then slightly decrease in the period of 2014 to 2018. Land use changes on the catchment area have negative impact on the quality of environmental services, such as erosion and sedimentation on the reservoir of Musi Hydropower Plant. Intervention needed to reduce the negative impact of the land use change on ecosystem services.
