Study on the Contribution of Normalization to Reducing Flood Risk in the Ciliwung River, Tebet District, Jakarta
Abstract Jakarta is the capital city of the State of Indonesia and fast economy and population growth rate. With these, urbanization continues to increase every year. In this study, we analyse the effect of river normalization on reducing flood risk on the MT. Haryono - Manggarai section based on the Hec-RAS hydraulic model. Boundary Condition applied in upstream river is flow hydrograph with a peak discharge of 561.48 m3/s. In the upstream part, a rating curve is applied from the water level measurement data for the Manggarai Sluice Gate. While in the middle, the lateral flow from the urban drainage channels is inserted. The simulation results show that normalizing the channel can increase the drainage capacity as implied by the decrease in the flood water level. However, downstream there is backwater due to the lack of capacity of the Manggarai floodgate.
