Nowadays, water resources management development not only sees from the side of excess or lack of water in quantity, but already includes aspects of quality, health, aesthetics, comfort and environmental sustainability. The problems faced by urban areas are the disruption of activities due to flood events. The opportunities for flooding depend on climate and global weather behaviour. The magnitude of the flood depends on the rain with certain characteristic that is generally seen from the intensity and duration of rain events. While the magnitude of losses due to floods depends on the magnitude of the flood and the level of economic development of the region concerned. This paper discusses the importance of understanding the short duration of rain characteristics as well as its response to flood discharge plans in both micro and macro-depleting systems in urban areas. With this understanding, it is expected that handling actions at various levels of the disaster cycle can be well anticipated so that the negative impacts that may arise can be minimized. Characteristic analysis of short duration rainfall is done by looking at the pattern of hourly rainfall distribution occurring in several rainfall observation stations in Java Island. The Mononobe equation is used to see the level of compatibility of the rainfall distribution pattern with RMSE, NMSE and MAE score indicators. The analysis results show the reliability level of Mononobe equation for the hydrology analysis in the location which has no short duration rainfall data.
On the observation of hourly rainfall data in Java Island, for the modelling watershed purpose, it can be seen that short duration rainfall events are the most dominant. The percentage of short duration rainfall event is almost 70% of the observation data. By using the high resolution of hourly rainfall data with 5 minutes’ intervals, it can be easily to describe the rainfall distribution patterns that occur. This research observed high resolution of hourly rainfall data in hilly and mountainous at Mount Merapi area in Yogyakarta. It purposed to mitigation effort due to the rainfall events that often falls with short duration and high intensity.
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.
