The application of the polder system for flood control in DKI Jakarta has become a must for coastal areas, especially with the construction of sea dikes along the coast of Jakarta as a solution to anticipate tidal flooding. One thing to consider when using a polder system in flood control is how much pump capacity and reservoir are needed. To answer this quetions, a hydrological analysis has been carried out with several method approaches, starting from determining the rainfall design in the form of a depth duration frequency curve in 1 hour to 48 hours, and then applied area reduction factor (ARF) to corrected rainfall design. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) method are uses to calculated runoff or effective rainfall and then with the unit hydrograph by time area method to produce a runoff hydrograph. Based on this approach, the Sentiong Polder plan has been carried out with the result that the required pump capacity for a 25-year return period is 32 m3/s and 50 m3/s for a 100-year return period with a storage capacity used of 1,507,500 m3. If you want to reduce the pump capacity, it is necessary to increase the storage capacity.

We revisit empirical methods to prevent the overestimation of peak discharge in a small watershed, in particular investigating the time-area method, which has not been considered in the overestimation problem of peak discharge. To avoid misapplying the same inlet time between the unit hydrograph and rational formula, distinct parameter adjustments for each method are proposed. We adopt the secondary basin response time for the unit hydrograph, rainfall duration for the rational formula, and time of concentration for the time-area method, as suitable parameters to adjust the estimation of peak discharge. In conclusion, adding 10 minutes to secondary basin response time, 20 minutes to rainfall duration, and 30 minutes to time of concentration, respectively, yields estimates within a reasonable range of specific discharge in a small watershed.

For Engineers involved in planning and construction of water resources building, hydrology becomes very important data. In terms of planning stage in water resources especially waterworks, it is known that design flood discharge closed to field realistic conditions is often needed in order that a planned construction is able to control flood discharge. Several previous researches in choosing flood discharge selection method have diverse depending on observed watershed. One method in determining selected flood discharge by verification using Creager diagram, by comparing discharge calculation results of several Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) with infrastructure flood discharge (AWLR result) in observation point. This research aims to obtain  the most suitable synthetic unit hydrograph and close to analysis result of measured discharge frequency, and Creager diagram in Kelara watershed (DAS). Based on the calculation of design flood discharge according to rainfall data using synthetic unit hydrograph of Nakayasu, ITB I, ITB II, and SCS (HEC-HMS) as well as the calculation of design flood discharge according to collected data, it is concluded that the synthetic unit hydrograph method closest to design flood discharge with measured discharge rate and Q1000 rate of Creager diagram is SCS. Flood discharge rate obtained according to HSS SCS method using HEC-HMS  4.8 application in period of 2 years  is 658,40 m3/s, 25 years is 682,70 m3/s, 50 years is 787,00 m3/s, 100 years is 885,70 m3/det, and 1000 years is 1202,60 m3/s

The imbalance that occurs between the availability of water and the water needs needed in Indragiri Hilir requires a conseptual review and evaluation. The all-time distribution of water availability is greatly influenced by the distribution of rain throughout the year. Conceptual analysis of water discharge with the help of IHACRES software can help analyze DAS indragiri Hilir discharge. Rainfall-runoff modeling is used to predict the value against the runoff, using the IHACRES model. The IHACRES model produces nonlinear loss module parameters and linear unit hydrograph modules. AWLR will be used, namely Bt. Kuantan Rengat station, Rain Data which will be used from Tembilahan station and climatology used from Air Molek  station. Determination of success in the model used the equations R2 and R to calculate the deviation that occurs. The calibration, verification and simulation phases begin in 2010-2015. The results of conceptual analysis of water discharge in Indragiri Hilir watershed, mainstay discharge results for irrigation purposes with a probability of 80% maximum discharge occurred in February by 4.33 m3 / s and minimum discharge occurred in April by 0.34 m3/s. Overall availability of water on site is available throughout the year. but it cannot be used for hydropower needs because the available discharge may be affected by tidal factors.   Ketidakseimbangan yang terjadi antara ketersediaan air dan kebutuhan air yang diperlukan di Indragiri Hilir memerlukan peninjauan dan evaluasi yang konseptual.

A methodology named the step response separation (SRS) method for deriving S-curves solely from the data for basin runoff and the associated instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) is presented. The SRS method extends the root selection (RS) method to generate a clearly separated S-curve from runoff incorporated in mathematical procedure utilizing the step response function. Significant improvements in performance are observed in separating the S-curve with rainfall. A procedure to evaluate the hydrologic stability provides ways to minimize the oscillation of the S-curve associated with the determination of infiltration and baseflow. The applicability of the SRS method to runoff reproduction is examined by comparison with observed basin runoff based on the RS method. The SRS method applied to storm events for the Nenagh basin resulted in acceptable S-curves and showed its general applicability to optimization for rainfall-runoff modeling.

Abstract This study aims to assess various empirical synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) methods and find the best method. Ideally, each river should have a definite rain gauge station (RGS) to get sufficient rainfall data that is available for carrying out meaningful analysis. The provisions of Indian Standard (IS) 4987:1994 determined the optimum number of RGS. In the absence of RGS, the SUH is recommended. SUHs have been developed using various methods such as Snyder's, Taylor and Schwarz, Soil Conservation Service, Mitchell's and Central Water Commission (CWC). In the present study, the Rel River Basin (RRB) is considered as the study area which has two existing RGS. IS 4987:1994 suggested that four RGS are required for more reliable rainfall data. Various efficiency criteria such as Correlation Coefficient, Pearson Coefficient, Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency, Index of Agreement, Normalized Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, Root Mean Square Error and Kling-Gupta Efficiency have been used to compare SUH methods. The ranking of SUH methods was reported based on the compound factor (CF) through efficiency criteria. The 1.125 CF was observed as the minimum for the CWC method and recommended for determining peak discharge and timing for the study area.

The possibility to create a flood wave in a river network depends on the geometric properties of the river basin. Among the models that try to forecast the Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH) of rainfall precipitation, the so-called Multifractal Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (MIUH) by De Bartolo et al. (2003) rather successfully connects the multifractal properties of the river basin to the observed IUH. Such properties can be assessed through different types of analysis (fixed-size algorithm, correlation integral, fixed-mass algorithm, sandbox algorithm, and so on). The fixed-mass algorithm is the one that produces the most precise estimate of the properties of the multifractal spectrum that are relevant for the MIUH model. However, a disadvantage of this method is that it requires very long computational times to produce the best possible results. In a previous work, we proposed a parallel version of the fixed-mass algorithm, which drastically reduced the computational times almost proportionally to the number of Central Processing Unit (CPU) cores available on the computational machine by using the Message Passing Interface (MPI), which is a standard for distributed memory clusters. In the present work, we further improved the code in order to include the use of the Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) paradigm to facilitate the execution and improve the computational speed-up on single processor, multi-core workstations, which are much more common than multi-node clusters. Moreover, the assessment of the multifractal spectrum has also been improved through a direct computation method. Currently, to the best of our knowledge, this code represents the state-of-the-art for a fast evaluation of the multifractal properties of a river basin, and it opens up a new scenario for an effective flood forecast in reasonable computational times.
