Abstract

Soil erosion and sedimentation are environmental problems faced by tropical countries. Many researches on soil erosion-sedimentation have been conducted with various results. Quantifying soil erosion-sedimentation and its temporal distribution are important for watershed management. Therefore, a study with the objective to quantify the amount of suspended sediment from catchments under various pine plantation areas was conducted. The research was undertaken during 2010 to 2017 in seven catchments with various percentage of pine coverage in Kebumen Regency, Central Java Province. The rainfall data were collected from two rainfall stations. A tide gauge was installed at the outlet of each catchment to monitor stream water level. The water samples for every stream water level increment were analyzed to obtain sediment concentration. The results showed that monthly suspended sediment of the catchments was high in January to April and October to December, and low in May to September. The annual suspended sediment fluctuated during the study period. Non-linear correlations were observed between suspended sediment and rainfall as well as suspended sediment and percentage pine areas. The line trend between suspended sediment and percentage of pine areas showed that the increase in pine areas decreased suspended sediment, with the slope of the graph is sharp at the percentage of pine areas from 8% to 40%, then is gentle for pine plantation areas more than 40%.

Abstract

Low level of sedimentation is a success indicator of watershed management. Measurement of sedimentation can be conducted directly or through erosion prediction approach. This research aimed to compare sediment yield from prediction by USLE erosion approach using three types formulations of rainfall erosivity with direct measurement. The field data were collected during 2015 in Lowereng Sub Watershed, Sempor District of Kebumen Regency. The slope steepness was derived from ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model and land cover was obtained from World View 2012. Three methods for estimating rainfall erosivity were Utomo and Mahmud, Bols, and Lenvain equations. The USLE applied for every land unit. By considering Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR), the predicted soil erosion from USLE was converted into sediment yield. The direct measurement of sediment yield was conducted by taking suspended sediment in the outlet of sub watershed. This research indicates that the predicted sediment yield calculated using USLE approach was higher than the direct measurement. The predicted sediment yield using Lenvain’s equation was 3.49 ton/ha (196%), which was the closest to the direct measurement (1.18 ton/ha).
