Description

Erosion in a watershed is a complex phenomenon that affects the quality of land resources due to either natural or human influence. The purpose of this study to determine the rate of erosion in the Jeneberang watershed and produce a recommendation of soil conservation to reduce the rate of erosion. This study uses some parameter maps, such as Rain Erosivitas Index (R) map, Land Erodibility Index (K) map, Length and Slopes Declivity Factor (LS) map, and Plants Management Factor and Soil Conservation (CP). All parameters were analysed using USLE map to determine the rate of erosion. The analysis results the rate of erosion by USLE method indicates the hazard level of the erosion in the Jeneberang watershed are dominantly at the very low levels with an area 55.068,39 ha or 71.6% of the research area. However, the erosion in the study area can not be ignored because there is a very high level of danger to the extensive erosion 11.681,55 or 15% of the research area. Therefore, generated a recommendation of soil conservation by soil cover planting and terrace construction repairs. By this conservation recommendation, the area with a high level of the rate of erosion reduce in the amount of 10,6%.
