Background (2)
Batujai Dam was built between 1977-1982 with
the storage capacity of 25 million m3 and the
maximum depth of 18 m
Since its construction, the dam was a jewel of
hydraulic structures in West Nusa Tenggara
Province
It brings spirit and optimism
to both the official and the
local people
For many years Batujai Dam
was a main tourist destination
for native Sasak and also people
from surrounding island (pupil
school and students were
expecting to visit it as a pilgrimage)
Past Researches (1)
Saadi (1993)
• An undergraduate thesis, 11 years after
impounding
• Analysed potential sedimentation rate based on a
very limited secondary data
Saadi (2007)
• Measurement of suspended
sediment concentration in 3
rivers
• Developed suspended
sediment rating curve
• Estimated deposited sediment
after 25 years of operation
Past Researches (3)
Wakidi (2016)
• The purpose of the research was to estimate the
deposited sediment of Batujai Dam in 2016 and
2032
• Secondary data collection, such as temperature
and rainfall data obtained from nearby station
• Flow discharge was the outflow of Batujai Dam
between 1982-2015 (obtained from AWLR
Station)
• Echosounding data obtained from measurement,
carried out by an engineering consultant in 2005
and other measurement carried out by the
researcher in 2015
Past Researches (4)
Supardi (2018)
• The purposes of the research were to estimate the
sedimentation rate of Batujai Dam 35 years after
its operation as well as to obtain information on
the distribution of deposited sediment within the
storage, and also to predict the remaining lifetime
of the dam
• A linear regression was used for sedimentation
analysis
• The analysis of deposited sediment distribution in
the impounding area was using Artificial Neural
Network (ANN) software
Results and Discussion (1)

• In 2016 the volume of sedimentation of Batujai Dam
was 1,445 million m3 exceeding the dead storage
proposed volume capacity of 1,400 million m3
• When the dam reachs its 50 years of operation in year
2032 the volume of sediment would be 2,482 million
m3. This means the amount of sedimentation volume
has exceeded the prediction of the dead storage
capacity by 1,082,222 m3
• This suggest that Batujai Dam is no longer in operation
since the proposed dead storage capacity has been
exceeded in 2016. Considering the fact that the dam is
still in operation, it is argued that dredging activities
conducted by Nusa Tenggara I River Basin Organisation
(BWS NT I) in 2014 is the main reason that preserve the
function of the dam

Results and Discussion (6)
Supardi (2018)
• Probably more encouraging results for dam authorities
• The storage capacity decrease from 24,824,200 m3 in
1982 to 18,615,000 m3 in 2005. The capacity continued
to decrease but at a slower rate. In 2012 the storage
capacity was predicted equal to 16,669,200 m3 and
decreased further to 15,587,200 m3 in 2017.
• It can be summarized that from 1982 to 2017 Batujai
Dam has loss a considerable sum
of 9,236,900 m3 or 37.72% of its
