Description:
Erosion is a natural process that occurs naturally causing sedimentation in a stream. The
transported sediment material can reduce channel capacity and increase the risk of flooding, as happened in
the Big River Fishing Area, Karang Intan Subdistrict, Banjar District. Therefore it is necessary to determine
the value of erosion and the latest sediment in order to be the basis of consideration of management actions.
Watershed management analysis using hydrological model. Soil And Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is one
of the hydrological models that can be used to analyze erosion and sedimentation with parameters such as
rainfall data, temperature, land cover, soil and slope. SWAT model simulation using land use data, soil,
rainfall and climate data of 2016, the amount of sedimentation and erosion in Catchment Area of large river
is 58.48 ton/ha/year and 4.82 ton/ha/year. The level of sedimency in the Catchment Area of the Great River
which belongs to very low class is 1,635.38 ha, low grade 57.31 ha, middle class 385.21 ha and very high class
that is 3,221.48 ha. While the level of erosion that includes very light class of 2,334.24 ha, lightweight
2,692.31 ha and middle class area of 272.83 ha.
