Abstract

The purpose of this research is to guide policies in the management of flood-prone areas and their mitigation in the Antokan watershed, Agam Regency. The indicators used to determine flood susceptibility are slope, rainfall, soil type, landform, geology, and land use. Sixteen percent (16 %) of the total areas are in high category flood hazard areas, around 44 percent with a medium index, and 40 percent with a low flood-prone index in the Antokan watershed. The main priority in structuring flood hazard areas of the Antokan watershed is the need for dredging river sedimentation, conservation, and reforestation, as well as disaster socialization. © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc..
