Tinjauan Potensi Sumber Daya Air Untuk Pembangkit Listrik Di Waduk Tirtomarto Kabupaten Karanganyar

The Tirtomarto Reservoir is a reservoir located in Pojok Village, Delingan Village, Karanganyar District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province. It was built in 1920. The reservoir is used to irrigate an area of about 10,000 hectares but on 2019 only irrigating 1,850 hectares of rice fields for Jetu and Sokolencong area. The Tirtomarto reservoir has the potential for untapped water, that is, water discharge and hydraulic press height or waterfall height that can be used for hydroelectric power generation, without reducing the reservoir's function as a source of water for irrigation. Based on reservoir technical data, before being used for irrigation, water flow is used to generate electricity with electrical power that varies between 48.651 kW to 245.826 kW and electricity production of 1,391,279mWh/year so it can be categorized as a Micro Hydro Power Plant because most of the electric power produced less than 100 kW
