Influence of Land Cover Type, Slope, and Soil Density of Surface Runoff

One of the factors that caused flooding in Indonesia and in the world is the amount of surface runoff. And in this study, it will examine surface runoff with variations in land cover type, slope of land, and soil density using laboratory methods. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that the effect of land cover variation on surface runoff is 75%. The variation of land slope has an effect on surface runoff with R2 maximum of 0.9643 or 96.43% and R2 minimum of 0.25 or 25%. Then, it was found that the cover of mini elephant grass land in each experiment had lower discharge compared to the cover of Japanese grass land and soil in seconds to 360. This indicates that the cover of mini elephant grass land can minimize surface runoff and can be used as a reference for grass use in a region.
