Description
Summary:The Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) model can be applied to simulate hydrological processes. This model has been widely used in recent days because it is openly accessible to the public. The search result from this study identifies 180 cases discussing the model applications in Indonesian watersheds in peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers. The model has been used in Indonesia since 2005, but the highest application is in 2020 with 42 articles. In the context of application distribution, Java Island ranks first place with 123 scientific publications. However, the HEC-HMS model is predominantly used to simulate the “Small” and “Very Small” watershed size categories. The availability of insufficient field data is huge obstacle for hydrological modeling in Indonesia. Furthermore, the model may be extended to address the issues in Indonesia’s eastern watersheds. Moreover, the model also can be used to assess the impact of climate change on streamflow.
