Structural mitigation measures for flood reduction in urban area: A case study of Ciliwung watershed

Flooding is an obstacle for water infrastructure which installed in a river system in Ciliwung, West Java, Indonesia. The climate change triggers unpredictable rainfall which occurs in the watershed, therefore the vulnerability of river and other infrastructures are alarming. The rehabilitation and maintenance strategies are needed to make water infrastructures in the river system obtain lower damage. The research aims to simulate the 2-D HEC-RAS modelling of river system and stability. The result produces the water level of the river even in 1000-year discharge flood. Also, the research proposes the earth embankment dam for flood reduction in the watershed. The dam is designed according to the ideal condition. The simulation of HEC-RAS shows that the river experiences flooding in a certain condition. Besides, the research concludes that designed dam could overcome the flooding problem and suitable strategy for water infrastructure maintenance towards flooding impacts. Further investigation towards soil data for designed dam should be further analyzed to obtain better and comprehensive understanding
