Abstract


Pada daerah pertanian lahan kering serta memiliki tingkat kelerengan yang curam, erosi dan sedimentasi mendai salah satu problematika yang sering terjadi. Erosi akan dapat mengakibatkan kerugian pada lahan yaitu berakibat pada turunnya produktivitas lahan akibat kerusakan sifat-sifat fisik, kimia dan biologi. Dampak akibat adanya erosi antara lain umur waduk yang menjadi lebih pendek karena terjadinya pendangkalan, elevasi permukaan dasar sungai yang semakin naik karena adanya endapan sedimen, dan juga lahan pertanian yang rusak akibat adanya timbunan sedimen. Aktivitas manusia yang beragam pada Daerah Aliran Sungai akan mempengaruhi erosi ang terjadi. Analis perhitungan erosi untuk wilayah yang luas diperlukan untuk perencanaan pengelolaan dan konservasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat erosi di wilayah Sub DAS Serayu, yang merupakan salah satu daerah tangkapan air Waduk Mrica. Analisis perhitungan erosi menggunakan rumusan Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) dan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Curah hujan merupakan komponen untuk menghitung erosivitas hujan. Faktor vegetasi (C) dan faktor konservasi (P) diperkirakan dari peta penggunaan lahan. Faktor panjang dan kemiringan (LS) dianalisa dari Digital Elevation Model, dan faktor erodibilitas (K) diperoleh dari interpretasi peta tanah. Selanjutnya, semua faktor dianalisis untuk menghitung laju erosi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sub DAS Serayu menghasilkan erosi sebesar: 11.877.576,89 T/th. Laju erosi rata-rata pada Sub DAS Serayu tergolong dalam erosi sedang, yaitu sebesar 166.35 T/ha/th. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa Universal Soil Loss Equation mampu memprediksi erosi yang cepat untuk area yang luas.

steep slopes. Erosion has the potential to cause land losses in the form of physical, chemical, and biological property damage, resulting in a decrease in land productivity. Shorter reservoir life due to siltation, increased river bed surface elevation due to sediment deposits, and agricultural land damage due to sediment accumulation are all effects of erosion at the watershed. For management and conservation planning, analysts on erosion calculations for large areas are required. The purpose of this research is to assess the level of erosion in the Serayu sub-watershed, which is one of the Mrica Reservoir's water catchment areas. The USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation) formula and Geographic Information System (GIS) are used in erosion calculation analysis. Rainfall data is used to calculate the erosivity factor. The land use map was used to calculate the vegetation factor (C) and conservation factor (P). The length and slope factor (LS) were calculated using the Digital Elevation Model, and the erodibility factor (K) was determined using the soil map interpretation. In addition, all factors were considered in order to calculate the erosion rate. The Serayu sub-watershed resulted in erosion of 11.877.576.89 T/year, according to the results. The average erosion rate in the Serayu sub-watershed is 166.35 T/ha/yr, which is classified as moderate erosion. The findings also demonstrate that USLE can be used to forecast rapid erosion over large areas.
