The Cisangkuy sub-watershed is part of the Citarum watershed with ±300 km of river length. The total area is in line with the potential of water resources which is quite good, but over time the hydrological condition of the site has decreased. Decreasing the hydrological state is due to changes in land use and land cover from year to year and is indicated by high discharge and flooding in the rainy season. This study aims to find the optimal location of artificial recharge to maintain water balance in the Cisangkuy sub-watershed. Fuzzy logic is used for determining the location of artificial recharge by considering the input variable DRASTIC in the form of depth to groundwater level, net recharge, aquifer media, soil type, slope, vadose zone, and hydraulic conductivity. In addition, subtractive clustering is performed to obtain the class of each DRASTIC parameter. Furthermore, a genetic algorithm is carried out to get the optimal location of the artificial recharge zone. The priority zone is indicated by the high class of each DRASTIC parameter input. Combined fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm show that the optimal location for artificial recharge is in the northern part of the Cisangkuy sub-watershed, precisely in the Banjaran area.
The increasing population is definitely in line with the rising demand for housing. One area with many residents is Tangerang Regency, Banten with a population growth rate of 5,85% per year. PT. Summarecon Agung Tbk. becomes one of the developers of an integrated area in Tangerang Regency in fulfilling housing’s need. However, the wider the development of an area, it is parallel with the changes in land cover that significantly impact surface runoff. Therefore, this study aims to determine the surface runoff in the Summarecon Serpong area. The research method used is the Secondary Data Analysis (SDA) approach which requires several data; rainfall, land cover, and soil type. These data were then processed using Frequency Analysis to obtain design rainfall and continued to the SCS-CN Method to obtain surface runoff with the return period at 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and 100 years. The land cover in the Summarecon Serpong area was dominated by buildings, with the Hydrologic Soil Groups (KHT) in the form of Groups C and D. The calculation of the Composite Curve Number (CNk) value based on land cover and Hydrologic Soil Groups were 88,89, while the calculation of direct runoff using the SCS CN Method with a return period of 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and 100 years respectively were 77 mm, 121 mm, 154 mm, 188 mm, and 275 mm. The lowest surface runoff occurred on land cover in the form of green open land with Hydrologic Soil Group C, and the highest surface runoff occurred on land cover in the form of water bodies. This analysis indicates that focusing on the green open land in the Summarecon Serpong area can reduce surface runoff while increasing infiltration to maintain the sustainability hydrologic system.
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.
