IDENTIFICATION OF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS CAPACITY USING EPA-SWMM 5.1 VERSION MODELING IN GUNUNG PANGILUN OF PADANG CITY

Abstract

Floods have often occurred in the city of Padang, PALAPA Metropolitan Urban Area in recent years, this is generally caused by high rainfall and poor drainage capabilities. NVivo software is utilized to analyze the online news which reported floods occurrence. Based on the news collected from 2009–2018, it was found that Gunung Pangilun Village, Padang Utara Subdistrict was often flooded when it rained for more than 3 hours. This area is a densely populated area (1,000 people / km2). The cause of inundation in this area is that drainage is not able to accommodate water and high rainfall intensity with the parent river in the Batang Kuranji watershed. The flooding that occurred in this area caused several schools, offices and hospitals to be flooded, a number of houses and a number of points on the local road were flooded. Therefore, it is necessary to know the large drainage capacity that is able to accommodate the amount of runoff discharge when the rain occurs using the 5-year return EPA SWMM software modeling
