Abstract
Trough understanding of hydrology characteristic of watershed, water resource can be managed for wider goals such as economic, social, and sustainainable utilization. In fact, current watershed managements have more been focused on erosion, sedimentation, drought, and flood control and less attention paid on fulfilling the need of upper watershed inhabitat on water yield. The research of Micro Watershed was conducted in three Micro Watersheds as representation of priority watersheds in South Sulawesi namely Mamasa, Saddang, and Jeneberang. The aim was to find out stream discharge pattern of those three Micro Watershed related to precipitation, landuse and its utilization potential for local community. The results showed that the more extensive forest cover, the better water yield and the higher its utilization potential . Concerning to precipitation and water yield, the three micro watersheds have the potentially to be source of water for irigation and household consumption.
