Soil Soil functions : - Regulating and partitioning water and solute flow - Filtering, buffering, degrading, immobilizing, and detoxifying - Sustaining plant and animal life below and above the surface - Storing and cycling nutrients Soil erosion effects : Soil degradation, pollution, agricultural production and regional income Soil erosion models USLE, RUSLE-1, RUSLE-2, MOSES, EUROSEM… Image processing and GIS tools Commercial & open source (GRASS)
West Java Province: West Java Province: ha, 37 million people (most populated in Indonesia) and 30 % people in agriculture Study Area ’ ’ Ls Le Java sea Central java Jakarta Banten Hindia Ocean Bandung Paddy field Tea plantation Environmental disaster
A = R x K x Ls x C x P A is the computed soil loss per unit area R the rainfall and runoff factor. K the soil erodibility factor. Ls the slope length-gradient factor. C the crop/vegetation and management factor. P the support practice factor. Mathematic model Soil erosion tolerance rate Soil erosion class Potential soil erosion (tons/acre/year) Very low< 3 Low3 - 5 Moderate High Severe> 15 (Robert P., 2000)

Slope in % Elevation in meter = 81 % = 13 % = 6 % Slope in total area = 64 % = 33 % = 3 % Elevation in total area In this case slope length 30 m Java sea Hindia ocean Java sea Hindia ocean Jakarta
Average rainfall 1994 Rainfall mm/year Extreme Average Rainfall mm/year Java sea Hindia ocean
Ciujung Cibareno Cimandur Cisanggarung Cimandiri Cisadane Citarum Higher soil erosion in 2001 Ton/900m 2 /year
Soil erosion was very high in Cibareno River basin because changes from forest to agricultural area and agricultural area to palawija fields Higher soil erosion in 2001 because of rainfall extreme In Majalengka and Kuningan, low rainfall will cause high soil erosion because of steep slope
More important issue … Clean and drinking water
Dirty water kills Source:
Sources of clean and drinking water Poor water resources management ≈ poor land storage More dependent on rain
Clean and Drinking water availability GIS
Good rain estimate is important for Indonesia: Use of satellite estimates Challenges in remote sensing estimates: Land v. Water (17,508 islands) Terrain (mountainous) Land use (for instance, paddy field) CRS-ITB can contribute on validation with around 4,000 rain gauges (manual) Indonesia’s involvement the IPWG:
