| Summary: | Lahar occurs when the material deposits produced by volcano�s eruption is
triggered by rainfall. The process of triggering occurs when deposits of material
with a certain thickness and slope becomes saturated by rainfall accompanied with
force imbalance due to surface runoff. Gendol River and some major rivers
originating in the peak of Mount Merapi, was chosen as field study site due to the
amounts of its deposit materials and its very dynamic rainfall characteristics. Till
now, the rainfall characteristic that caused the lahar at this field has not been
formulated yet. The objectives of this field research can be divided into two
groups: the search for the relationship between rainfall intensity with flow
condition and the relationship between rainfall intensity and working rainfall on
lahar events in some major rivers.
The first objective is reached by mounted Rainfall gauge and automatic camera on
Gendol watershed. Automatic camera is used to observe the flow conditions in the
river channel caused by recorded rainfall gauge. Data analysis was done to the
characteristics of rainfall and the flow conditions in the Gendol River. The second
is achieved by analysing the rainfall data and lava that occur in major rivers
originating in the peak of Mount Merapi. The rainfall characteristics taken
account in analysis are the depth of continuous rainfall, antecedent rainfall,
working rainfall as well as rainfall intensity. In the analysis step, lava flows are
grouped into two types of flow, namely debris flow and immature debris flow
based on the characteristic sediment diameter and slope of the river channel.
Several conclusions can be drawn as a result of the data analysis field as follows.
The surface runoff at the river appears when the rainfall intensity is greater than
22 mm/hour. The initiation of sediment movement occurs when the rain intensity
over 36.40 mm/hour. Immature debris flow occurs if there are continous rainfall
with working rainfall greater than 100 mm and rainfall intensity greater than 22
mm/hour. Debris flow occurs if there are a continous rainfall with the working
rainfall greater than 300 mm and rainfall intensity greater than 22 mm/hour. Both
types of debris only occurred if at least one of the day of the continuous rainfall
events having depth greater than 50 mm. |
