Identifikasi Sistem Drainase Untuk Penanganan Banjir Kota Medan

Abstract

Medan City as the capital city of North Sumatra Province has experienced a fairly rapid development in recent years. Various development sectors grow and develop along with increasing economic growth. The housing, services and trade sector is a significant sector of progress. This has resulted in increased intensity and expansion of land use in urban areas. The cause of the flood problem in Medan City is not only absolutely in the downstream of the river, but also in the upstream and middle of the river. The more critical the water catchment area in the Deli river, which is the main watershed that flows in Medan City, where it is estimated that the good condition of the land currently only ranges from 3-4%, causing the flow of the flow to be greater in the downstream. Thus the management and control of the flood in Medan needs to be taken into account with regard to the topographic conditions.
