Floods in the Glugu River in Purwodadi City, Central Java Province on December 25, 2007 paralyzed life for around 1 week. This study analyzed the causes of the flood, including the effects of rainfall, land use change, bank full capacity, and backwater from the Lusi River, which is the estuary of the Glugu River. The study found that the dominant factors contributing to the flood were backwater from the Lusi River, the small bank full capacity of the Glugu River, and the heavy rainfall on December 25, 2007. Flood control efforts like river normalization and flood levees could reduce maximum water surface elevations by around 35% and increase channel velocities along the river by up

ABSTRACT
Flood happened on 25th Dec 2007 as result of bubbling up Glugu River has paralysed life activity during around 1 week in Kota Purwodadi Kabupaten Grobogan. This research is conducted to analyse flood cause factors including rainfall effect, land use change, bank full capacity and backwater contribution due to Lusi River as estuary of Glugu River. Rainfall effect is analysed by comparing discharge (Q) of Glugu River due to high outliers with other based on threshold rain series.
The influence of land use change is obtained by comparing discharge due to difference of its CN value. From the result indicates that dominance factor of flood are backwater of Lusi River, bank full capacity which is small, and rain influence on 25th Dec 2007. Backwater increases elevation of maximum water surface significantly along the length of 3.10 kms and flood as result of backwater requires 4.30 longer times to withdraw.
Flood control in the form of river normalization and flood levee can reduce elevation of maximum water surface around 35 % and increases channel velocity along the length of river station until 55 % compared to existing one.
