Analisis Neraca Air Pada Kesatuan Hidrologi Gambut (Khg) Pulau Padang, Kabupaten Kepulauan Meranti, Provinsi Riau
ABSTRACT
More than 40% of Padang Island area has been concessioned by the Ministry of
Forestry to PT. RAPP. The construction of large-scale canalization of peatland
utilization adopted by the company’s concessions causes disruption of the water
balance and leads to peatland degradation. Research at Peat Hydrological Unit
(PHU) Padang Island is necessary so that peatland protection and restoration
become more efficient and effective. The method used in this study is Thornthwaite
Mather Water Balance (TMWB). Water balance depicted in a temporal graph
showing the deficit/surplus status in every month and Geographic Information
System (GIS) used for spatial data analysis at PHU Padang Island which is divided
into 3 Sub-PHU. This research also carried out a water balance scenario from 2021
to 2025. The results of climatological water balance analysis and land water
balance in PHU at 2020, shows that the highest drought (deficit) level was in the
Sub-PHU 1 on February with the 23.23 million m3 for climatological water balance
and 26.83 million m3 for land water balance. For the highest wetness (surplus) level
was in the Sub-PHU 1 on November with 84 million m3 for climatological water
balance and 31.34 million m3 for land water balance. The results of water balance
analysis from 2021 to 2025 tends to decrease temporally from surplus to deficit.
While spatially, there is no significant difference.
