Avoiding Flood by Improving Cross-Sectional Capacity through River Normalization

Bekasi is one of the regions in Indonesia that often suffer from flooding. To overcome flooding problems in the Bekasi area, the Ciliwung Cisadane River Basin Center has begun a normalization project along the Bekasi River. This research aimed to evaluate the Bekasi River's cross-sectional capacity both before and after normalization. The analysis focused on the section where the Cileungsi and Cikeas rivers converge to the Bekasi weir. In this research, secondary data were employed, such as national digital elevation model data, detailed engineering designs of Bekasi River flood control activities, and rainfall data from the Cibinong Station that covers the period from 2006 to 2020. The result from planned flood discharge with the Nakayasu synthetic unit hydrograph method for a return period of 25 years on the Bekasi River was obtained at 665.81 m3/s. The results of hydraulic analysis before normalization with the HEC-RAS application show that flooding occurred at 102 out of 116 stations, with capacities of river cross-sections ranging from 453.49 m³/s to 665.71 m³/s at these overflow stations. Following the river normalization process, the cross-sectional capacity at all Bekasi River stations can accommodate flood discharge without any instances of overflow.Keywords: Flood, HEC-RAS, Nakayasu, Normalization, Rainfall.

Abundance of microplastics in Cisadane river - Indonesia

Abstract Microplastics have become a serious threat to the aquatic environment, water treatment facilities, and riverside residents because they are persistent. Microplastics generally come from plastic waste produced by human and industrial activities that enter the rivers. In this study, the Cisadane River was studied for microplastic presence. Sampling was conducted at 11 points along the Cisadane River from the upstream (Muria Jaya) to the downstream (Teluk Naga). Samples were taken using a 200-mesh plankton net and then analyzed using a digital microscope for the microplastic’s presence, sizes, and shapes. Furthermore, material identification was conducted using a Raman Spectroscopy Microscope to determine the material type of microplastic in the samples. According to the result, the Cisadane River contains microplastics of various shapes and sizes. The result shows the abundance of microplastics of 0.8-9.6 particles/m3 0.8-26.4 particles/m3 in fibers and fragments, respectively. Microplastics in the form of fragments are the most dominant form. The size of microplastics varies from 65 to 4,932 μm for fibers and 23 to 2,444 μm for fragments. These differences are due to primary and secondary microplastic degradation rates through weathering, abrasion, mechanical disintegration, photolysis, and microbiological activity. The colors of microplastics found were blue, brown, cream, red, black, and transparent, with transparent being the most dominant color. The material types found were polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP).

Study on Spatio-temporal Distribution of Chlorophyll-a on Pelagic Catch Productivity in Muara Bendera, West Java, Indonesia

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research The trend of chlorophyll-a in the pelagic fish catchment area of the Muara Bendera has increased. Trend of chlorophyll-a values around the waters of the Citarum and Cisadane River Estuaries increased. Chlorophyll-a and pelagic CPUE have a negative relationship. The waters around the mouth of the Citarum River are mesotrophic - eutrophic waters Abstract Chlorophyll-a has been considered an indicator of pelagic fish abundance in waters. Although a high nutrient load causes eutrophication, leading to fish mortality, global-scale climate anomalies will also influence the oceanographic conditions of the seas. This study aimed to investigate spatial patterns and trends of chlorophyll-a, the relationship between chlorophyll-a and pelagic fish catch productivity, and the effect of ENSO and IOD on pelagic fish catch productivity. The chlorophyll-a data were obtained from the SeaWiFS and Terra-Aqua MODIS time-series datasets of ocean color satellites. The results indicated that Jakarta Bay had the highest chlorophyll-A concentration. The Chlorophyll-A concentrations declined as the distance between the estuary and the coast grew. From 1997 to 2021, the regional pattern of increasing chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Citarum and Cisdane estuaries was continuous. Since 2001, the concentration of chlorophyll-a in Jakarta Bay has declined, whereas it has begun to climb in the seas of the North Seribu Islands. The increasing chlorophyll-A trend in the Seribu Islands is attributed to rising nitrate levels induced by human-driven coral degradation. Between 1997 and 2021, the concentration of chlorophyll-a in the Muara Bendera fishing region grew by +0.013 mg/m3/year, or 1.43 percent each year. The correlation between chlorophyll-a and pelagic fish catch productivity was -0.13. ENSO does not affect the productivity of pelagic catches in this region. However, it was discovered that IOD reduced the productivity of low-category pelagic catches.

Accumulation of Cd and Pb in sediments and Asian swamp eels (Monopterus albus) from downstream area of Cisadane River, Indonesia.

This study examined the presence of two heavy metals (Cd and Pb) in the sediments and Asian swamp eels (Monopterus albus) in the downstream area of Cisadane River. The average concentrations of Cd and Pb in the sediments from all sampling locations were 0.594 ± 0.230mg/kg and 34.677 ± 24.406mg/kg, respectively. These concentrations were above the natural background concentration and the recommended value of interim sediment quality guidelines (ISQG), suggesting an enrichment process and potential ecological risk of studied metals to the ecosystem of Cisadane River. The increase in contamination within this region may be attributed to point sources such as landfill areas, as well as the industrial and agricultural land activities in surrounding area, and experienced an increasing level leading towards the estuary of Cisadane River. Meanwhile, the average concentrations of Cd and Pb in the eels from all sampling locations were 0.775 ± 0.528μg/g and 28.940 ± 12.921μg/g, respectively. This study also discovered that gill tissues contained higher levels of Cd and Pb than the digestive organ and flesh of Asian swamp eels. These concentrations were higher than Indonesian and international standards, suggesting a potential human health risk and therefore the needs of limitations in the consumption of the eels. Based on the human health risk assessment, the eels from the downstream of Cisadane River are still considered safe to be consumed as long as they comply with the specified maximum consumption limits.

Assessment of Sensitivity and Validity Hydrodynamic Model in Cisadane Using Delft3d Flow Model

The National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) program was prioritized as a disaster reduction technology within the annual target of BRIN in 2022. It is a part of the North Java Coastal Integrated Development Program project. A coastal reservoir development plan at the Cisadane River estuary is one of the outcomes. In this case, hydrodynamic modelling is needed to acquire hydrodynamic properties under the existing condition of Cisadane downstream, and it applied the Delft3D-FLOW model. The bathymetric data used in this simulation was obtained from the assimilation of national bathymetric data with a grid spacing of 180 m and field survey data with a horizontal resolution of 10 m and transect spacing of 200 m seaward of the Cisadane estuary. It has interpolated in a regular structured grid with 100 m and 50 m grid spacing. In addition, other data used are three hourly wind data downloaded from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the daily discharge of the Cisadane River in 2021. Astronomical water level data generated from TPXO 7.2 and TPXO 8 were used in the boundary conditions. These data are simulated using the two and three-dimensional flow model Delft3D-FLOW during November 1 – 15, 2021, using four manning coefficients (n) values, which are 0.03; 0.035; 0.04; and 0.045. The validation formulation used Normalization Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE), resulting in 5.3 - 9.6% for all the manning values and domains. The highest correlation coefficient of current velocity (u-v components) is acquired in the 10 km2 domain with 0.797 for the L3 (bottom layer).

A Methodology for Water Resource Management and the Planning of the Coastal Reservoir in Indonesia

Metropolitan areas in Indonesia, specifically Jabodetabek, are projected to continue experiencing population growth. This will result in increased water demand, which, if left unchecked, could lead to a water crisis. Additionally, the region faces persistent flooding issues. To mitigate these challenges, the Indonesian government proposes the creation of a coastal reservoir. However, a methodology for the pre-feasibility study of such reservoirs in Indonesia is currently lacking. This study addresses this gap by presenting a methodological framework encompassing hydrology and water allocation analyses as well as numerical modeling related to hydraulic and sedimentation aspects of coastal reservoirs. The methodology was designed to be adaptable based on data availability. Finally, this methodology was applied to a case study located at the Cisadane River estuary. The water allocation simulation showed that the reservoir can release an annual optimum discharge of 80.618 m3/s in wet years and 22.731 m3/s in dry years. Flood modeling demonstrated a modest impact on reducing early-hour floods, with a water level decrease of around 20–50 cm within 5 km of the reservoir. Furthermore, sediment modeling revealed varying sedimentation and erosion depths along the rivers, with approximately 62,300 m3/year settling in the reservoir.

TV DOCUMENTARY FILM JOURNAL NEGLASARI RIVER "RIVER OF A THOUSAND BENEFITS"

This documentary was made to document the activities of the community along the Neglasari riverbank which is considered unique and interesting in the midst of modern settlement development. Neglasari River is an irrigation river that is part of the Cisadane River. The existence of this river is very close to the activities and needs of the surrounding community. The main function of Neglasari River is as an irrigation river that flows vegetable and rice plantations along the riverbanks. Vegetable plantations are the main commodity of this area, so irrigation from the Neglasari river is vital to the sustainability of plantations and agriculture of the surrounding community. In addition to these benefits, the Neglasari river is also a resource that is widely used by the surrounding community to meet their daily needs, such as bathing, washing clothes, washing vegetables from the plantation harvest, playing facilities for children, and even washing motorized vehicles. These community activities are carried out not because they do not have water resources at home, even some residents' houses look quite livable with adequate toilet facilities. This is due to cultural factors that have long been practiced by the surrounding community. Since childhood they have used the river to fulfill their daily needs, and this is still maintained and carried out until now. he main factor of community activities in the river is still ongoing because they can interact with fellow residents, and are not bored if they have to take care of household chores at home alone.

Analysis of Cantilever Retaining Wall as Landslide Mitigation on a Tributary of Cisadane River Bogor City

Bogor City has a high level of rainfall and is included in an area with a high potential for landslides. In March 2021, there was a landslide in a densely populated residential area at RT. 02/03 Cipaku Village, Bogor Selatan District. The landslide occurred on the slopes at the tributary of Cisadane River and adjacent to the nearest connecting bridge. The length of the landslide is 6 meters and as high as 7 meters from the water surface. Mitigation steps to prevent subsequent landslides are needed by constructing a retaining wall, so a cantilever-type retaining wall is chosen by considering the soil parameters and landslide conditions. The results of the analysis show that the stability of the retaining wall against shear (Fs) = 1.04 < SF = 1.5 and for stability against overturning (Fo) = 0.56 < SF = 1.5. Thus, the overall retaining wall is not able to withstand the load of the soil behind it. In terms of stability to the bearing capacity of the soil, the ultimate soil capacity (qs) = 94.149 kN/m2 > V = 243.535 kN/m2. Thus, the subgrade can withstand the load of the retaining wall. Therefore, to meet shear stability and overturning stability, the retaining wall is reinforced by using a bored pile foundation. The results of the foundation analysis showed that the allowable capacity (Qs) was obtained at 584.8 kN.

Comparison of the Composition and Abundance of Phytoplankton Based on Different Land Use in the Cisadane River, Tangerang Regency

Phytoplankton is an autotrophic organism that produce its own food through the process of photosynthesis with the help of sunlight which forms the basis of water productivity to be utilized for trophic organisms above. In freshwater, river plankton are categorized as potamoplankton. Rivers are a dominant freshwater ecosystem and have a more stable morphology than other freshwaters. Changes in land function is triggered by an increase in human population, an increase in the number of residential areas and industrial activities that discharge untreated waste into the river. Because of the importance of phytoplankton for life, it is necessary to conduct research on the Comparison of Phytoplankton Composition and Abundance Based on Different Land Uses in the Cisadane River, Tangerang Regency. In this study, sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method by measuring parameters such as pH, temperature, and water transparency. Identification of phytoplankton composition and abundance was carried out using the Sedgwick Rafter Counting Cell (SRCC) using the sweep method. The results of this study obtained 23 phytoplankton genera from 6 classes consisting of: Bacillaryophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Conjugatophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, and Zygnematophyceae. Phytoplankton abundance was 185-490 Ind/L with the highest abundance in both areas are Bacillaryopiceae and Navicula. The diversity index was 1.307-2.124 and the dominance index was 0.201-0.461. Water quality parameters that affect the composition and abundance of phytoplankton are water-transparency, pH, and water temperature. The fertility level of the Cisadane River waters has an oligotrophic fertility level.

Karakteristik Arsitektur Sunda pada Rumah Raden Aria Wangsakara, Kampung Lengkong Kyai

Raden Aria Wangsakara's house is an architectural heritage object in Kampung Lengkong Kyai in Tangerang. He is a scholar from Sumedang and a prince from the Cirebon Sultanate, who has an important relationship with the history of Banten and Jayakarta in general, and Tangerang and Tigaraksa in particular. At a glance, his house is similar to Betawi houses or like traditional houses on the north coast of Sunda-Banten, which are multicultural in general. What are the characteristics of this house? This study intends to analyze the architectural characteristics of this house using a qualitative approach in the form of a case study. This analysis was carried out to analyze and verify the type of space, type of form, and type of building style. The results of this study indicate the type of space and the type of form that still follows the Sundanese house but is modified in the context of the local physical environment which is close to the Cisadane River and the context of a multicultural environment. The style type of the house borrowed and received some elements of Indo-Islamic, Arabic, and European Colonial styles.

Seepage Analysis and the Reservoir Water Pollution Potential under Vertical Dam Structure Planning

A prospective resolution to the intricate predicaments of flooding, sanitation, and the availability of unprocessed water for the populace of Jakarta residents is the implementation of the coastal reservoir paradigm. This paradigm entails harnessing the latent capacity of the Cisadane River flow and its subsequent storage within a retention pond, and then subjecting it to reprocessing to serve as a viable source of raw water. The selection of a vertical seawall design was based on the objective of creating an effective barrier between the reservoir and the sea, while also considering several environmental factors. This design was selected with the aim of minimizing the need for extensive soil excavation and rock placement. However, it is important to note that the risks of construction failure associated with seepage under hydraulic structure and dam stability pose significant challenges. Besides preventing saltwater intrusion and maintaining the integrity of the reservoir as a freshwater source, dam must be designed to mitigate potential seepage failure and intrusion issues. To address these concerns, this study employed numerical simulation using the SEEP/W and CTRAN/W software. The simulation was carried out to analyze seepage discharge under a vertical dam and predict potential seawater intrusion into the reservoir. The dam was examined over a ten-year period, with varying embankment widths of 10m, 20m, and 30m. The analysis considered changes in water level (ΔH) and the addition of a cut-off wall at depths of 5m, 10m, and 15m. The obtained results showed that seepage discharge rates amounted to 3,14x10-4 m3 s-1, 2,67x10-4 m3 s-1, and 2,50x10-4 m3 s-1 for embankment widths of 10m, 20m, and 30m, respectively, under a 1m level difference condition. Following this, the safety factor for piping on vertical embankment was determined as 1.10, 1.34, and 1.39 for widths of 10m, 20m, and 30m, respectively. This factor was found to increase to 4.03 when the embankment distance was widened, and a 15m deep cut-off wall was installed. It is important to note that the seawater intrusion model predicted a seawater concentration of 65,12 g m-3 at the bottom for an embankment width of 10m, while no intrusion was observed at widths of 20m and 30m with ΔH=1m. This study aims to assess potential risks of piping due to seepage and seawater contamination at the Cisadane Estuary.

The Utilization Of Golden Snail Shell For Domestic Liquid Waste In The Banksa Suci Cihuni

Community service in the form of domestic liquid waste treatment at Banksa Suci (Cisadane River Garbage Bank) Ciheuni is motivated by domestic wastewater flowing into the Cisadane river and passing through the Banksa Suci Ciheuni park which has been polluted with black waste water showing. The waste water comes from the area around the Banksa Suci Ciheuni park which consists of residential areas, offices and hospitals. Polluted wastewater that flows into the Cisadane river can contaminate the Cisadane river body and its ecosystem. This activity aims to purify the waste sample water so that it is in accordance with the quality standards. This community service is carried out by adding golden snail shell powder to wastewater, with a concentration of 0%, 10% and 20% then stirring and filtering, then analyzed in the laboratory. The results of the analysis show that the golden snail shell is able to reduce the turbidity of the holy banksa wastewater.

In adaption of river continuum concept as correlation to macroinvertebrates functional feeding group in Cisadane River’s headwater

River Continuum Concept (RCC) is an approach that describes the dynamic changes in the river system, the changes that occur are physical conditions (order of the river, canopy cover, and land use) and also the structure and function of communities. Functional feeding groups (FFG) of macroinvertebrates are related to environmental gradients in aquatic systems, including river ecosystem attributes. This study aimed to correlate the function of the macroinvertebrate communities with Cisadane’s River headwater conditions based on RCC and also to estimate the attributes of the river ecosystem. This research was conducted in the headwaters of the Cisadane River, West Java-Indonesia. One of Cisadane’s River headwaters was located in Mount Halimun-Salak National Park. Macroinvertebrates were collected from four sites inside the park (stations 1, 2, 3, and 4) and from two sites outside the park (stations 5 and 6). Collections were made twice a month, from April to June 2015 using a Surber sampler. The results showed that shredders and predators were relatively higher at stations inside the national park than at those outside the national park. While scrappers and collectors at stations located inside the national park were relatively lower than at stations outside the park. The value of the P/R ratio showed that all of the stations were heterotrophy. CPOM/FPOM ratio represents that shredder availability is high enough at stations inside the national park. While TFPOM/BFPOM ratio is slightly below the normal threshold value. HSI showed that the condition of the riverbed substrate stability is quite good. Composition changes of macroinvertebrates showed suitability with RCC. River ecosystem attributes and abiotic stream characteristics of Cisadane’s River headwater support macroinvertebrate life and are in accordance with RCC.Keywords:EcologyMacroinvertebrateNational ParkRiparianRiver

One effort to prevent this problem is to implement online water quality monitoring technology continuously and in real time. The information generated from the water quality monitoring system can be used as a basis for planning watershed management and determining river and lake water management policies at the national and regional levels. The purpose of this activity is to analyze river and lake water quality data and evaluate the performance of the monitoring systems in 16 water quality monitoring stations that have been built. The data being analyzed is from 2016 to 2020 and includes the parameters of temperature, conductivity, TDS, DO, pH, and turbidity. The 16 station locations are spread over the Ciliwung River, Cisadane River, Citarum River, Serayu River, Bengawan Solo River, and Lake Toba. This research method uses descriptive statistical analysis and the STORET method, which refers to the Decree of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number 115 of 2003 and Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 82 of 2001. The results of this study indicate that most of the rivers monitored fall into the moderate to heavily polluted category, especially the rivers downstream of the Ciliwung, Cisadane, and Bengawan Solo rivers. The results of the analysis of DO, TDS, conductivity, and turbidity parameters from 16 monitoring stations, mostly met the Class II quality standards.

Language Shift and Endangerment of Sundanese Banten Dialect in South Tangerang

The objective of this research is to find out the language shift in one of Sundanese dialects known as Bantenese (SBD) and the reasons underlied, in the spoken area of South Tangerang, which could bring to endangered of extinction. The SBD is spoken by the native in South Tangerang in several areas along Cisadane river which is adjacent to Tangerang district. The observation was carried out on two things, namely the use of SBD words among the native speakers and the use of Sundanese among children. This is a qualitative-descriptive research using participant observation and informal interviews. Observations were made in six sub-districts, where the majority of the native people are Sundanese. The observation involved observation, interview, taking notes, and recording techniques. The results showed that there was language shift in SBD among the Sundanese ethnic population in South Tangerang. The main reason is the negative perspective of speakers of SBD. As the consequence, the language is not transmitted to next generation thus led to endangerement.

Community Perceptions on Urban Forests Development in Riparian Areas of Cisadane River, South Tangerang City

The continuous decrease in green open spaces due to urban development leads to harmful environmental problems for communities. Land scarcity is one of the significant reasons for the difficulty in urban forest development in riparian areas. The development of riparian urban forests serves a dual purpose, namely preserving the natural riparian function for vegetation and increasing the green open space area size. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the riverside community's understanding and views on urban forests and their perceptions of riparian urban forest development. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Approximately 63.64% and 96.97% of the respondents understood and viewed the urban forests well. Furthermore, 90.91% of the respondents agreed with the riparian urban forest development. Generally, 66.67% agreed to create greener, tidier, cleaner, and more beautiful riparian areas to attract tourists. The positive perception of the community regarding the urban forest development in riparian areas became a rational basis to sustain its function and increase the size of urban forests and green open space areas.
