Application of elementary hydrology model for the assesment of watershed health at Progo Hulu watershed

Abstract

This study aimed to test the reliability of hidrology Model with MUSLE Method in predicting the hydrology indicators in assesment of watershed condition. The indicators were maximum discharge, minimum discharege, river regime coefficient, runoff coefficient, erosion and sedimentation. NRECA Hydrology Model compared to Mock Model to get a better Hydrology Model to apply in this area. The result showed that NRECA Model was better than Mock Model in predicting some hydrologic indicators and MUSLE Model was sensitive enough in predicting the other indicators which was shown by the result of good accuracy test. In this study, NRECA Model and MUSLE model performs well in predicting the hydrologic indicators in assessing Progo Hulu watershed condition.
