Abstract: Kamijoro Intake is irrigation water intake structure located in Progo River. The Kamijoro Intake is irrigation
water source for 2,365 hectares of irrigation area in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In the operational phase,
the Kamijoro Intake cannot operate optimally because of sediment deposition around the intake structure.
Thus, the sediment deposition behavior led to conduct research regarding flow pattern and sedimentation
characteristic around the intake structure. Two-dimensional mathematical simulation was conducted by using
Nays2DH solver provided by iRIC software. This work simulated two hydraulic conditions to enhance
understanding of hydraulic and sediment transport behavior under high discharge and low discharge. The
simulations result showed that high discharge scenario produced higher value on flow parameter such as water
depth, velocity, and shear stress than low discharge scenario. Furthermore, high discharge generated higher
value of sediment transport parameter than the low discharge such as river bed deformation, river bed
elevation development and bed load parameter. Findings also revealed that immense sediment deposition
around Kamijoro Intake is most influenced by small value of river slope.
1 INTRODUCTION
Kamijoro Intake is located at Kamijoro Village,
Pajangan Subdistrict, Bantul District, Daerah
Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The structure is
utilized as irrigation water intake for 2,365 hectares
of irrigation area. Kamijoro Intake was built in year
1924. In order to be located at free sediment
deposition area, Kamijoro Intake positioned at outer
section of river bend (see Figure 1). Despite of
located at outer river reach bend, sometime Kamijoro
Intake cannot operate properly because of sediment
deposition flowing inside the intake. The main factor
influencing Kamijoro Intake performance in
supplying irrigation water is the intake structure
location at the Progo River reach having small river
slope. Small river slope around Kamijoro Intake
generates sediment deposition that must be removed
regularly. Progo River sediment source is Merapi
Mount. Merapi Mount is one of the active volcanoes
in the world.
International River Interface Cooperation (iRIC)
is international group consisted of scientist and
engineers who want to provide access of state-of-the-
art mathematic model software for undergraduate and
graduate student to enhance understanding of
morphodynamics. Furthermore, the research group
released package software consisted of several
mathematical solver modules by using similar name
as iRIC (Nelson, 2016).
Nays2DH is two dimensional, depth averaged,
unsteady, coupled flow, and sediment transport solver
provided by iRIC (Kinze, 2015). Nays2DH has
capabilities to simulate river flow, sediment transport,
and river bed geomorphology.
There are wide range of researches regarding
sediment transport and morphological development
simulation. Norman (2017) assessed hydraulic and
transport sediment behaviour of ephermal stream for
restoration purpose, Wickham (2015) found that grain
size heterogeneity influences bed load transport,
while bed roughness variability do not generated
impact in sediment transport, Wongsa (2016)
simulated breach morphological development of
earthen embankment, and Sarkawt (2017) simulated
hydro morphology response of Sandy River in
Oregon toward flood occurrence.
Moreover, Ali (2017) demonstrated Nays2DH
ability to simulate flow pattern around single groyne
with several angles toward approaching flow. The
hydraulic simulation also could produce secondary
flow well at the downstream of installed groyne.
