“…The average intrinsic growth rate of the Richards model of 0.055/day can be used as an early warning indicator [Burkhard et al, 2015;Forni et al, 2016], which indicates the potential for water abundance in the reservoir [Mushar et al, 2019]. The potential for flood disasters triggered by the abundance of water is becoming higher along with the shrinking capacity of the reservoir due to increased sedimentation.…”

“…The speed at which a reservoir reaches its water volume carrying capacity is important information in the sustainable reservoir management. The hydrological indicators that lead to the abundance or scarcity of water are the ecological data in dynamic modeling for early warning purposes [Burkhard et al, 2015;Forni et al, 2016] and for prediction [Mushar et al, 2019]. Mathematical modeling has the ability to predict based on historical data.…”

The rate of growth of the water volume in the reservoir varies with each charging season. The accuracy of the predictions is required in sustainable reservoir management. Its intrinsic growth rate as an ecological parameter plays a role in determining this speed. This study aimed to analyze the dynamics of water volume growth based on its intrinsic growth rate to assess the potential for hydrometeorology disasters. The population growth models proposed to be tested for suitability and goodness is the Verhulst, Richards, Comperzt, and modified Malthus model. Test suitability and model goodness were subjected to stages of verification, parameter estimation and model validation based on daily water volume data in the Gembong Reservoir, Pati, Indonesia for the period 2007-2020. A good model is determined based on the Mean Average Percentage Error (MAPE) criteria. The Richards model with b = 2 and r = 0.063/day had consistently low MAPE values during training and testing. This model was chosen as a new approach to understand the dynamics of water volume growth in a reservoir. The ecological implication of these dynamics of water volume growth is that reservoirs experience an abundance of water during the charging season. Reservoir normalization can be prioritized as a mitigation strategy for potential flood disasters.

“…The use of environmental indicators has been of great relevance to science (Burkhard et al, 2015), because they allow to build the perception of the environmental problems, providing qualitative or quantitative information, as well as, evaluating decision alternatives and solutions (Schindler et al, 2014). These are fundamental instruments to generate and to analyze relevant information from environmental, social, economic, and even cultural aspects (Delgado et al, 2011;Rodríguez et al, 2013).…”

“…The aforementioned defines the landscape as an environmental indicator that describes, analyzes and evaluates ecosystems, and thus it can be used with applications on management and environmental analysis (Burkhard et al, 2015;Luo et al, 2017). It shows the ecological fragility and the degree of conservation, identifying the most sensitive elements of the environment, as well as the risks of breaking the environmental balance and moreover, the ecological behavior (Rodríguez et al, 2013).…”

Objective: To propose the landscape as an environmental indicator that spatially and temporally, describes, analyzes, and evaluates territory, by changing some natural, social, economic, and cultural components. Approach: Different methodological concepts of the landscape and environmental indicators were reviewed, as well as their characteristics to describe and evaluate the environment. Results: It was found that the landscape is a comprehensive analysis method for the study of the environment, by selecting the parameters that describe and represent each landscape, through shapes, size, colors, textures, shadows, patterns, situations, associated features, and structures arranged under a spatial and temporal order which, when perceived by humans, present a given form of organization or disorganization in the environment. Implications: The environmental indicator allows to analyze and evaluate the changes in space and time, with updated qualitative and quantitative research. These changes play an important role in building the perception of environmental problems through the landscape. Conclusion: Landscape is an integral component that describes the biotic and abiotic elements of a given space. While, as an environmental indicator, it analyzes and evaluates changes in the composition and configuration of the environment, both spatially and temporally.
