Study of the use of Infiltration Wells in the Drainage System in the Town Square Area:A Case Study of Town SquareArea, Jember Regency, Indonesia

Abstract

The town square in Jember Regency is one of the attractions located on the National Road of Jember Regency, East Java, Indonesia, the condition of the land surface is relatively flat, so an environmentally friendly drainage design is needed without burdening the surrounding area. Therefore, to overcome this, one of the steps that need to be taken is to examine the use of infiltration wells to prevent waterlogging in the city square area. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the flood discharge that occurred in the town square area in Jember Regency was 0.056 m³/sec. Infiltration wells with a diameter of 1 m and a depth of 5 m were used in as many as 32 pieces. The drainage channel used is a rectangular shape measuring 30 x 30 cm. It is recommended that garbage cleaning be carried out in the Jember Regency town square area, both in general and especially in the canal so that the garbage does not clog the flow of water in each channel. Further research is needed to apply other types of drainage to cope with flooding in the area and other important areas.
