Description
Summary:Infiltration is an important part of the hydrological cycle that describes the movement of water from the surface into the soil. Two main factors that influence infiltration include rainfall intensity and Antecedent Moisture Content (AMC). The North Bandung area has diverse geographical and hydrological conditions that can produce different infiltration and runoff processes. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of various rainfall and AMC conditions on infiltration in Cigadung. The data used in this study are the research data of Hutasoit (2001) and BMKG climatological data. The methods used are rainfall - infiltration model configuration, model verification using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), scenario simulation based on the combination of rainfall intensity with AMC, and analysis of the results of scenario simulation. The results of this study show the influence of various rainfall intensities and AMC conditions on infiltration in Cigadung. The amount and rate of infiltration decreases as the AMC value increases under the same rainfall intensity conditions. While under the same AMC conditions, the amount and rate of infiltration will be higher as the rainfall intensity increases.
