Description of the research topic:

Population growth and development result in important
consequences in land use, which evidently affects hydrological
processes, and thus, the regional/local water resources. To predict the
magnitude of the impact of climate change and land-use needs
computer-based analytical models. The research aims to estimate the
future hydrological parameters of an Indonesian specific region, i.e.
Brantas Watershed, for which global climate models are used as an input,
and various statistical tools are used in the methodology. After
evaluating the water balance of Brantas Watershed area today, an
assessment is prepared to predict the changes of water balance at river
basin area and upstream Brantas watershed. The expected results of this
research can be used by decision makers for watershed management efforts
to adapt to regional climate change and land-use changes.
