IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
To fully describe the performance of monthly spatial runoff, the result had been
calibrated with the observation data using the Nash-Sucliffe criterion R
2
and the Xiong and Guo relative error RE. The value of R
2
for Cicatih watershed was 66.15 and the RE
was 1.4 . The result was capable of describing the
monthly spatial runoff. So it is possible to utilize the result for learning the runoff
processes in the Cicatih watershed. 4. 1 Water balance components
The water balance components of the Cicatih are summarized as follows: Rainfall
ranged between 77 mm in July and 378 mm in January. Peak of rainfall was 378 mm in
January. Maximum AET was 113 mm in May due to the highest PET occurance. Minimum
AET was 65 mm in September due to the lowest SWC occurance. PET varied from 96
mm in February to 113 mm in May. PET increased as the increased of temperature T.
Mean values of SWC was 291 mm. SWC varied from 152 mm in September to 437 mm
in January depended on the rainfall. SMS occurred during the high rainfall period
between Oktober and June. SMS ranged from 19 mm in June and 241 mm in January. SMS
increased as the increased of rainfall. SMD occurred during the low rainfall period
between July and September. SMD had a small ranged from 19 mm in July to 38 mm in
September due to small difference between PET and AET. Mean, maximum, and
minimum runoff are 135 mm, 261 mm, and 36mm, respectively. Maximum runoff was
260 mm occurred in January and minimum runoff was 35 mm occurred in September.

4. 1. 5 Cikembar subwatershed
Mean value of AET was 110 mm. Maximum AET was 130 mm occured in May.
PET had its highest value 130 mm in May
11
and the lowest value of PET was 112 mm in February. Maximum SWC was 403 mm
occurred in January and minimum SWC was 120 mm occurred in September. Mean values
of rainfall was 220 mm. Rainfall peak of 464 mm took places in January. SMS ranged from
52 mm in June to 274 mm in January. SMD ranged from 24 mm in July to 46 mm in

values were less of than 50 mm.
4. 2 Runoff distributions of Cicatih watershed
Figure 5 shows the comparison between the observed and calculated monthly runoff
hydrograph in 1999 at the outlet of the Cicatih watershed. Mean values of observed runoff
and calculated runoff were 1157 mm and 1140 mm, respectively. The error of calculated
runoff varied from its maximum in January to the minimum in September. The highest
amount of observed runoff was 1892 mm occurred in March. Different from the
observed runoff, the highest amount of calculated runoff was 2296 mm occured in
January.
Flow directions Figure 6 affected the runoff accumulation. Flow directions was
estimated using PC Raster. DEM data was used as the only input. It was generated by
considering the 8 point pour algorithm with flow directions from each cell to its steepest
downslope neighbour. Moreover, runoff accumulation was generated using the flow
directions. Runoff accumulation calculated the amount of runoff that flowed out of the cell
into its neighbouring downstream cell. The runoff accumulation amount was the amount
of runoff in the cell itself plus the amount of runoff in upstream cells of the cell. In Cicatih
watershed, runoff accumulation had its maximum at the outlet.
Flow directions to west and southwest were common directions from the right side of
the Cicatih watershed. On the other side, the flow directions to southeast was common
direction from the left side of Cicatih watershed. Kurnianto 2004 described that
the flow directions was affected by the slope directions of Salak mountain in left side and
Pangrango mountain in right side of the Cicatih watershed. It caused the runoff
accumulation from left and righ side met at the midle part of Cicatih watershed. Finally,
the runoff accumulation flowed toward the watershed outlet.
Runoff accumulation varied in the watershed. It led to higher accumulation in the
most center part, and to lower accumulation in the mountain and at high altitudes. Maximum
runoff accumulation was 400000 mm occured in the center part of Cicatih watershed bottom
area because of their low altitude. Areas with 0 mm accumulation indicated that all of runoff
from that areas flowed out into its neighbouring downstream areas.
The result of the first stream order from the estimation using PC Raster Figure 7 was
similar with the observed first stream order Figure 8. In addition, some of second, third,
and fourth stream orders from the estimation using PC Raster were also similar with the
observed stream orders. However, runoff accumulation of the first stream order did not
appear in the estimation result.

The results obtained from the calculation using the input 1999 data field
were monthly spatial variability of runoff distribution. Spatial distribution of runoff was
affected by the rainfall, land cover types, and WHC. However, monthly runoff distribution
was only affected by the rainfall.
The monthly runoff distributions showed that minimum runoff occurred
between May and September. September 35 mm was the month of minimum runoff. And
maximum runoff period occured in the period of October until April. January 260 mm was
the maximum runoff month because of the occurance of maximum rainfall in January.
The pattern of rainfall-runoff relationship was in agreement with result report by Xu 1997
in six watersheds from the humid region in Southern China and one catchment from the
semi-arid and semi-humid region in Nothern China. Putty and Prasad 2002 showed that
runoff increased as the significant increased of rainfall. Furthermore, The areaaverage values
of rainfall distributions and runoff distributions in Cicatih watershed described
the rainfall-runoff relationship as well see Table. 5.
The spatial distribution of runoff from the images see: Figure 9, Figure 10, and Figure
11 reflect that the contributions from the garden areas was the highest, because this was
the most common land cover in the Cicatih watershed. And the lowest contiribution of
runoff portion was obtained from the grass areas because of the their small areas. The
pattern of major runoff portion from the major land cover areas was also found by Karvonen
1999 in the Lestijoki watershed, Finland but with the different major land cover
contribution. The most common land cover in the Lestijoki watershed, Finland was forest.
During the high rainfall period, maximum runoff could be found in the forest areas 286
mm, followed by cropland areas 269 mm. And minimum runoff was 251 mm occurred
in settlement areas. In the low rainfall period, maximum runoff 109 mm was found in
forest areas. And minimum runoff was 0 mm occured in the settlement areas, followed by
cropland areas 5 mm around the mountain Salak and mountain Pangrango. It concluded
that the land use types-runoff relationship was widely affected by the rainfall. The high
runoff occurred in forest areas due to their high rainfall. Runoff increased with
significant incresing rainfall, following a positive linear function.
