Hydrology
The drainage basin of the Brang Biji covers an area of 225 km². The main river has a length of 33.20 km, with an upstream inclination of 17.14%, and the middle part inclination of 5.15%. It flows from south to north, passing Batu Lanteh at upriver and the city of Sumbawa Besar at downriver, into the Flores Sea.[3]
For years, the Brang Biji River suffers from rapid sedimentation, which reduces its water capacity, and decreasing width due to uncontrolled house building along the river banks.[4] These factors contribute to annual flood, submerging houses along the banks in the districts of Bugis, Brang Bara, Pekat, Samapuin, Lempeh and Brang Biji,[3] as happened in February 2017.[5]
The Brang Biji River is also heavily polluted by high concentrations of E-coli and mercury, reaching unsafe levels for people to use for drinking or washing.[6] The pollution is attributed to the unhygienic lifestyle of the community, such as throwing thrash and using the river as a restroom.[7]
Geography
The river flows along the northwestern area of Sumbawa with predominantly tropical savanna climate (designated as As in the Köppen-Geiger climate classification).[8] The annual average temperature in the area is 26 °C. The warmest month is October, when the average temperature is around 30 °C, and the coldest is February, at 24 °C.[9] The average annual rainfall is 1539 mm. The wettest month is January, with an average of 321 mm rainfall, and the driest is August, with 3 mm rainfall.[10]
