ANALISIS SPASIAL POTENSI RESAPAN AIR UNTUK MENDUKUNG PENGELOLAAN DAERAH ALIRAN SUNGAI (DAS) UNDA PROVINSI BALI (Spatial Analysis of Water Infiltration Potential to Support The Management of Unda Watershed at Bali Province)

Abstract

The Unda Watershed is categorized as the priority watershed, which part of its area is degraded land. The condition of land cover with the dominance of low-density vegetation has implications for low infiltration and water absorption capacity, so that it has the potential to increase surface runoff. This study aims to identify the potential for water absorption as the basis for watershed management planning. The method used in this study is scoring with four parameters, namely soil type, land use, slope, and rainfall. Spatial data analysis uses Geographic Information System (GIS). The formulation of recommendations for watershed management activities is carried out descriptively, based on the findings of the analysis of water absorption potential. The results showed that the water recharge conditions in the study area were classified as good (22.54%), very critical (18.20%), normal (17.92%), and less critical (7.99%). The recommended watershed management is periodic reforestation, construction of bench/traditional terraces, construction of infiltration wells/biopori holes in the residential areas, and synergistic integration of the roles of watershed institutions from upstream to downstream.
