INTRODUCTION
Climate change is a global phenomenon, experiencing an increase as a result of human activities such as the use of fossil fuels and changes in land use. One of the changes that occur in the global climate is the increasing frequency and incidence of extreme climates such as storms, floods and droughts. The development of the population on Ambon Island is increasing from year to year, so that the problem of settlement is the main problem of the government in overcoming the existence of natural disasters such as floods that occur in rivers and settlements.

Abstract— Watershed is an area bounded by mountain ridges where rainwater that falls on the area will be accommodated by the mountain ridge and flowed through small rivers to the main river. The increase in population from year to year results in the need for land for shelter and clean water to be very important, thus requiring residents to tend to live on land located on hillside. The resulting impact on the surrounding environment is the reduction in green areas as water catchment areas in river basins, the threat of landslides and floods due to additional loads on the slopes. This study aims to overcome the accumulation of sedimentation which has resulted in water overflows along the Way Solepay watershed and to prevent sedimentation from occurring. The analysis method used in this research is rainfall analysis with the method of Log Percent III, Flood Planning Analysis, Watershed Erosion Analysis, and Sedimentation Analysis. The results of the analysis of this study show that there is a accumulation of sedimentation in the Way Solepay watershed on average every year of 3,599 m3 / day or 1,313,635 m3 / year and how to overcome this is by being transported regularly every year as much as 32,386 m³ / day or 11,954,078 m³ / yrs
problems along the Way Solepay River Basin, Mamala Village. This must be considered by the local community and district government. From the results of observations at the research location, part of the Way Solepay watershed area has been damaged, water buffer land has been made into residential land which has resulted in flooding and landslides in the Way Solepay watershed area. The limited handling of the Regency government and the awareness of the local community to expand the residential area in the Way Solepay watershed resulted in
