SUMMARY

VERA AGUSTINA. Sensitivity Evaluation of parameters Used in ANSWERS
erosion prediction model. Supervised by Suria Darma Tarigan and Nailc
Sinukaban.
Many erosion predictions on watershed scale have been conducted by
scientists. The result of predicton will be accurate if the necessary data used in are
also representative. One of the erosion prediction model is Areal Nonpoint Source
Watershed Environtment Response Simulation (ANSWERS). The ANSWERS model
is one that uses distributed parameters to simulate correlations between rainfall and
sediment. The input data of model are rainfall, soil, land use and land surface
condition, characteristic of channel and individual element unit. Those input data
consist of parameters which show the characteristics of each element of the
watershed. The output goined from the model is runoff and erosion. The changing of
values within the parameters of input model effects output in varied levels. To know
the amount of changing levels in parameters values with different methods towards
the output, it is required that output sensitivity be evaluated towards the changing of
model input.
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the sensitivity of model output
towards any value changing of parameters of model input of erosion prediction.
The research began on September 1999 until Mei 2000. The soil example

was taken from research site is used for determining bulk density, total porosity, field
capacity and antecedent soil moisture. The meansure of permeability was conducted
on the site using permeameter.
Sensitivity analysis was done in several scenarios of simulation which are: (1)
the simulation of value changing of model parameters, (2) The simulation of the
chailging of rainfall intensity and (3) the simulation of the changing of watershed
size on runoff and erosion. Sensitivity analysis was conducted for 14 model input
parameters which are: total porosity (TP), field capacity (FP), the steady state
infiltration rate (FC), the different between the maximum and steady state infiltration
rates (A), infiltration exponent (P), infiltration control zone depth (DF), antecedent
soil moisture (ASM), soil erodibility (K), the potential interception volume (PIT), the
actual percentage of cover (PER), the roughness coefficient, the maxinlum roughness
height (HU). Manning's n (N) and relative erosiveness (C). Composition of the
simulation is: (1) parameters increase of 1% (Pl), 5% (P5), 10% (P10) and decreasing
it 1% (Ml), 5% (M5), 10% (M10); (2) rainfall intensity change simulation which
consist of 75 mm/hour (Cl), 100 m d h o u r (C2) and 125 mdhour; ( 5 ) the watershed
size change simulation which consist of 1.725 Ha (Ll) and 10.081.25 Ha (L2).
Sensitivity simulation result shows that runoff and erosion are decreasing
along the increasing of TP, FC, A, DF, PIT, RC, HU, K, C and decreasing of FP, P,
ASM. PER. According to the intensity value of many kinds of parameters value

change level, the 5% change levels is considered representative to determine runoff

Soil example taking method shows variaty of bulk density, total porosity and
field capacity. The result of permeability meansurement using permeameter tend to
be variatif. Antecedent soil moisture which was determined from disturb soil
example was less various at the same soil.
