Model Calibration Parameter Using Optimization Trial in HEC-HMS for Unda Watershed

Abstract

In water resource planning, information on water availability is needed. Nowadays, data on water availability is still difficult to obtain. With technology in the form of a rainfall-runoff simulation model that can predict water availability in the Unda watershed. It can add information about the potential for water in the Unda watershed. It can be used to prepare water resources management in the Unda watershed so that the existing potential can be used sustainably. Based on the rainfall simulation model results in the Unda watershed, it can be concluded that after running the initial model and calibration. The results are obtained R2 value was 0.68 and increased by 9.81% to 0.754. Both the initial model and the calibration model show an efficient R2 value, NASH value increases by 49.93% to 0.713, which includes satisfactory criteria, RMSE value of 1.135 and decreased by 49.47% to 0.758, and the PBIAS value was 44.70% which was classified as unsatisfactory and decreased from 80.24% to 24.80% at the time of calibration which was classified as satisfactory. In general, the overall simulation results are quite good for representing the watershed’s efficient hydrological process.
