The vulnerability analysis of catchment areas using rapid assessment method (case study in Universitas Indonesia, Depok)

Abstract

Abstract. Catchment area of aquatic system in Universitas Indonesia (UI) campus has a function as groundwater recharge for Depok area, which is the buffer zone of Jakarta. This catchment area has high level of imperviousness as a consequence of increasing population. The high imperviousness implicates in the degradation of the catchment area health. For that reason, the vulnerability assessment of UI catchment area is needed to arrange of restoration recommendation. This research applies Rapid Assessment Method which implements eco-hydrological concepts including aquatic and riparian condition as well as imperviousness of catchment area. Locations of the research are Kenanga and Agathis catchments area. The result of initial classification based imperviousness both catchment areas are categorised as NonSupporting, where the imperviousness of Kenanga and Agathis is 31,0% and 77,18% respectivelly. Based on the assessment on aquatic and riparian condition as well as future land use, the final classification of both catchment areas is Restorable Non-Supporting catchment area.
