Description
Summary:Hydrological data is a primary need for mining companies. This is to address problems related to decreased efficiency and productivity of workers and tools, stagnant work fronts, slope instability, to acidic water mines.. To solve this problem, a good surface water or rainwater treatment plan is needed by utilizing hydrological data in an effective, efficient, and target based. The hydrological data from 15 rain gauge and 2 weather stations owned by PT KPC can provide more detailed information about the characteristics of rain gauge, but on the other hand it is necessary to know the most optimum number of gauge. Therefore, this research will conduct temporal characterization of rainfall based on the rainfall data of PT Kaltim Prima Coal in 2013- 2019 and continued by analyzing the effectiveness of the rain gauge network. For the temporal characteristics of rainfall, the average rainfall and trends in annual rainfall and maximum daily rainfall will be analyzed from the existing data. After that, we will look at relationship between characteristics and wind movement at PT KPC which is plotted into the windrose diagram. Wind movements throughout the year are dominated by the NW or northwest direction. The temporal characteristics of rainfall produce equatorial rainfall patterns for each cluster with the discovery of shifts in wet and dry months in each cluster. Based on the annual rainfall trend and the maximum daily rainfall is experiencing a downward trend. The rainfall distribution in Sangatta sequentially from largest to smallest is Cluster 2, Cluster 1, Cluster 3, Cluster 4. The distribution of the wettest month and the driest month in each cluster varies. The degree of seasonality in Sangatta area is 1.69. The temporal characteristics of rainfall in Sangatta are largely influenced by the local factors but still in tune with the regional climate of East Kalimantan. After characterizing, a correlation and rationalization test will be carried out using the Kagan-Rodda Method to determine the gauge that represent each region. The correlation coefficient between rain gauge in the same cluster gives results between 0.75-1 which means that they are strongly and unidirectional. Rain station recommendations based on the Kagan-Rodda Method give the result that 1 additional rain gauge needed for Cluster 1, Cluster 2 only requires 4 gauge, and Cluster 3 only requires 2 gauge.
