Abstract

The Blongkeng sub-watershed is one of the sub-watersheds in the Progo watershed and is located on the north-west slope of Mount Merapi. This sub-watershed is considered a priority because it plays an important role in the entire Progo watershed system. The existence of vegetation damage and land degradation due to the eruption of Mount Merapi has an impact on surface runoff and erosion of the western slopes of Mount Merapi. The impacts of erosion include drought and silting in rivers. Estimation of the erosion level using the USLE model, but this method has the disadvantage of requiring a lot of data and is not easy to obtain. A simple erosion assessment method in the form of erosion sensitivity using watershed morphometric parameters were applied. The morphometric parameters were analyzed quantitatively are then ranked to get the erosion sensitivity rating in the watershed. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of erosion assessment methods using morphometric parameters and using USLE. The results obtained from this study are the ranking of erosion estimation using morphometry and erosion estimation using USLE. The similarity of rankings is at ranks 1, 2, 3, and 10. Similarities and differences in rankings is a result of the morphometric parameters that are not suitable if they are involved in calculating the morphometric ranking in the research area of the Blongkeng Sub-watershed, namely the drainage density (Dd) parameter, stream frequency (Fs), texture ratio (T), mean length overflow (Lof), form factor (Rf), circulary ratio (Rc) and elongation ratio (Re).
