Delineation of flash flood hazard zones based on morphometric parameters using GIS technique in upper Lematang sub-watershed

Abstract

The hilly and mountainous topography with high annual rainfall triggered a flash flood in the upper Lematang sub-watershed. The impact caused not only damaged infrastructure, agriculture land, and even fatalities. This research aimed to conduct flash flood hazard zoning based on morphometric parameters using the GIS technique. By extracting the DEM data, it is generated to a slope map, flow direction, flow accumulation, stream order, and watershed boundary. The data were then evaluated to obtain the morphometric parameters. Parameters analyzed using the PCA approach to get the correlation between parameters related to flash flood hazards. Of the 12 parameters, the KMO value is 0.66, and a significant level is 0.001 <0.05 with a sufficient level of intercorrelation. The result of PCA analysis, two factors were obtained with an eigenvalue > 1, and the cumulative percentage of the two factors was able to explain data variations of 87.49%. Finally, using 12 parameters, the upper Lematang sub-watershed area had 48.79% very-high hazard zones of a flash flood, 16.48% high zones, 20.28% moderate zones, and 0.97% low zones, and 13.48% very-low zones. The results of this study can be used in mitigation activities as well as for integrated watershed management.

Analysis of Risk Level Mapping of Flash Flood in the Air Betung Sub-Watershed, Pagar Alam City, Indonesia

“…8. Pagar Alam Selatan is an area with a high risk of flash flood, while Sukamerindu has the lowest risk [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

A grey comprehensive evaluation model for wheat quality incorporating PCA-EWM

“…Before factor analysis, KMO and Bartlett's spherical test are required to verify the suitability for principal component analysis (Dinata et al, 2021). The KMO value is used to compare the relationship between the simple correlation coefficient and the partial correlation coefficient between variables, PCA can be performed only when KMO value is greater than 0.5, and the closer the value is to 1, the better the analysis effect is.…”

IDENTIFIKASI KERENTANAN BANJIR BANDANG MENGGUNAKAN METODE AHP (ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS) BERBASIS SIG DI SUB DAS AIR MULAK, KABUPATEN LAHAT (Identification of Flash Flood Vulnerability Using GIS-Based AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) Method in Air Mulak Sub-watershed, Lahat Regency)

“…Definisi banjir bandang adalah banjir yang datang seketika disertai debit air yang besar disebabkan runtuhnya bendung alami yang terbentuk pada alur sungai (BNPB, 2012a Berdasarkan kondisi hidrologis, wilayah tersebut berada di sub DAS Air Mulak bagian dari DAS Lematang hulu dan satu kesatuan dari Wilayah Sungai Musi yang terletak di provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Karakteristik dari morfometri sub DAS ini memiliki potensi yang besar terjadinya banjir bandang karena relief perbukitan dan kemiringan yang curam (nilai elongation ratio = 0,57), kenaikan muka air sungai cepat dengan penurunan lambat (nilai mean bifurcation < 3), dan kondisi alur sungai yang melewati batuan memiliki resistensi lebih lunak sehingga berpotensi terjadi genangan disertai tingginya angkutan sedimen (Dinata et al, 2021). Pada DAS Lematang Hulu memiliki potensi hujan harian maksimum yang sangat tinggi mencapai 109 mm menyebabkan jumlah pasokan air banjir menjadi meningkat dan dari kondisi tersebut tindakan pencegahan sangat perlu untuk dilakukan karena DAS ini tergolong memiliki kerentanan sangat tinggi terhadap banjir yang dapat merugikan material bahkan korban jiwa (Pramono & Putra, 2017).…”
