Flood is one of Jakarta’s tremendous problems, which induces loss and damage to society. Thus, the city needs improvements from many aspects, especially the assimilation between hard and soft solutions to provide an integrated flood risk management system. As one of 13 rivers that flow across Jakarta, Sunter River is threatened by floods every rainy season. The flooding behavior was assessed by analyzing hydrologic modeling. As the flood assessment, the objective of this research focused on developing the hydrologic model to simulate hourly rainfall events in the Sunter River generated using Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS) software. The condition of the simulation also depends on the environmental situation in this watershed, such as land use and availability of its flood plain. Then, the calibration and validation processes produce the optimized parameter value based on the model efficiencies parameters. These results were used to simulate the storm designs for several return periods. Therefore, the peak of discharge for each return period can be assessed value for flooding behavior. This assessment analysis can be used and improved for early warning system analysis and further design as a soft structure solution. Hence, the strategic plan for flood management can be formulated in the watershed.
