River Morphological Stability of Juana River based on Sediment Transport

Abstract

Juana River is a river located in the north of Central Java. The downstream part of the Juana River flows into the North Java Sea. Problems with the Juana River include drought during the dry season and flooding during the rainy season. In addition, saline water intrusion makes it difficult for communities to access raw water. Flooding in the Juana River is caused by land use changes in the upper reaches of the river, the presence of a large number fishing boats anchored downstream, flooding in the lower reaches, and the relatively gentle slope of the Juana River. Currently, the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (Kementerian PUPR) is undertaking the construction of normalization, dam raising, and rubber dams in the Juana River. This study aims to analyze the stability of the Juana River. The analysis in this study uses the regime method to obtain the dimension of stability in the Juana River. The analysis in this study uses the regime method to obtain the dimension of stability in the Juana River. The results of the stability analysis in the Juana River found that the depth and slope parameters in the Juana River were unstable while the width parameters in the Juana River were stable. This research is useful to provide input to the Central and Regional Governments in planning and implementing river management in the Juana River.
