By Robiyanto Hendro Susanto (Doctor Of Philosophy, North Carolina State University, 1993) under the directions of R. W. Skaggs and R. L. Huffman. The effectiveness of a drainage-subirrigation system is dependent on hydraulic head losses near the drain. The objectives of this study were to quantify hydraulic head losses for agricultural drains under both drainage and subirrigation; to determine the effective radius of the drain and the hydraulic conductivity in the immediate vicinity of the drain; and to investigate the effect of various types of media near the drain on drainage and subirrigation performance. Head losses near the drain, and [...]

Suryadi, PhD, MSc; Dr. Robiyanto Hendro Susanto, M.Agr.Sc. In some large cities in Indonesia, flooding problems increase due to the subsidence of the coastal surface level and the rise of the sea level. Consequently, frequent flooding occurs and inundations in the streets of a few centimeters to decimeters are becoming common. The floods may cause severe disturbance to society, disrupting [...]

Suryadi, PhD, MSc; Dr. Robiyanto Hendro Susanto, M.Agr.Sc. As part of the peat lands ecosystems, Tropical Peat Swamp Forest (TPSF) covers 30 to 40 million ha worldwide, where Southeast Asia contains about 70 % of the total area of this forests. From that amount, Indonesia is considered as one of the tropical countries which have the largest peat swamp forest areas. [...]

Suryadi, PhD, MSc; Dr. Robiyanto Hendro Susanto, M.Agr.Sc. Population growth is the biggest threat to the environment not only in Indonesia but also in the world. The more population we have, the more food demand needs to be fulfilled. With the increasing population and need for food, agricultural production needs to be increased to meet this demand. With the [...]

By Resza Dwi Artha (Master of Science (MSc) degree at the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, the Netherlands and Magister Sains (MSi) at Sriwijaya University, Palembang, Indonesia , Delft, November 2009) Supervised by Prof. Bart Schultz, PhD, MSc; F.X. Suryadi, PhD, MSc; Dr. Robiyanto Hendro Susanto, M.Agr.Sc. Lowland are special areas on which water covers the soil or where is visible either at or near the surface of that soil. Indonesia has about 33.4 million lowland, 60% of it is tidal lowland (20 million ha) and the rest is non tidal lowland (13,4 million ha). At several places, lowland [...]

Robiyanto Hendro Susanto, M.Agr.Sc. Competition between population growth and the more limited area for supporting the living conditions has become really obvious nowadays. Indonesia particularly, as an emerging country which has rapid growth of population is projected to have 270 million people in 2025. Loss of agricultural land due to urban and industrial expansion combined with degeneration of existing irrigation and drainage systems put the development of tidal lowlands as an important policy of [...]

Suryadi, PhD, MSc. Indonesia has large lowland areas with an estimated area of about 34 million ha, out of which about 20 million ha is tidal lowland. The other 13.4 million ha concern predominantly non-tidal lowlands along rivers and inland swamp areas. Almost 4 million ha of the tidal lowlands in Indonesia have been reclaimed, partly by spontaneous settlers (2.5 million ha) and partly by the Central Government (1.5 million ha). Development in the [...]

Suryadi, PhD, MSc; Dr. Robiyanto Hendro Susanto, M.Agr.Sc. Palembang is located in South Sumatera Province. Due to population growth and urbanisation, Palembang is becoming a densely populated area. The government of Palembang has tried to solve this problem by developing some new areas. Most of these areas is lowland. One of reclaimed lowland areas is Jakabaring. It consists of about 2,400 ha which is about 6.9 % of the total area of Palembang. Lowland areas by their nature are [...]
