Abstract
Kali Kupang plays an important role in the life of the people of Pekalongan and its surrounding areas. However, until recently, not many hydrological studies have been carried out in this area. This study presents how Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) can predict future extreme hydrological events and how a dynamic-programming-based change point detection algorithm can detect the abrupt transition in discharge events variability. Using the annual block maxima, we can predict the upper extreme discharge probability from the generalized extreme value distribution (GEVD) that best fits the data by using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm as a distribution fitting method. Metropolis-Hasting (MH) algorithm with 500 walkers and 2,500 samples for each walker is used to generate random samples from the prior distribution. As a result, this discharge data can be categorized as a Gumbel distribution ( Ă‚ = 6.818, Ă‚ = 3.456, and Ă‚ = 0). The recurrence intervals (RI) for this discharge data can be calculated through this distribution. The changepoint location of the annual standard deviation of this discharge data in the mid-1990s is detected by using the pruned exact linear time (PELT) algorithm. Despite some shortcomings, this study can pave the way for using data-driven algorithms, along with more traditional numerical and descriptive approaches, to analyze hydrological time-series data in Indonesia. This is crucial, considering an increasing number of hydro climatological disasters in the future as a consequence of global climate change.
