Indonesia is an archipelago that has abundant natural resources, however, problems arise in the process of utilizing natural resources, namely the emergence of natural disasters that have the potential to cause serious damage in several areas. The threat of floods and landslides in watersheds has become the main focus to be addressed as early as possible with the best solutions and planning. The use of topographic imaging in the field of remote sensing is one solution that is very useful in developing better natural disaster management systems. With the support of the use of the watershed transformation method, this study aims to obtain geographical situation data, both from the flow dimensions and slope conditions that affect the watershed discharge capacity. Thus, the risk of natural disasters can be minimized both from the level of material and non-material damage as early as possible.
