ABSTRACT
Pekalongan City is a lowland area and located in the northern part of Java Island. Tidal flooding often occurred at high tide when the wave run-up entered the mainland and inundated several areas in the city of Pekalongan. The inundation area in Pekalongan City reached 618 Ha in 2020. Tidal flooding became a problem because it inundated vital areas such as residential areas, public spaces, and economic centers. The area that often experiences inundation is in the area of the Loji River and the Banger River estuarine, which is a unified system on the Pekalongan River. The inundation due to tidal flooding will be more severe if it coincided with the occurrence of high discharge in the river flow. To control floods and tidal floods in the city of Pekalongan, flood control engineering was needed so a floodway known as the Banger River was built. This approach aims to reduce the area of inundation and protect existing vital areas. This study aims to assess the impact of the Banger River on reducing water level in the Loji River. The methodology used in this study is flood modeling with HEC-RAS 6.1 one dimensional model. The simulation results show that after the Banger river floodway was made, the water level in the Loji river 1.7 meters or 28% of the water level in the Loji River can be reduced.
