Abstract— The main problem is the watershed Ciliman flooding when the rainy season comes. Watershed Flood Ciliman
carry sediment mud, rocks and vegetation either side of the river who participated uprooted when the flood came toward
downstream. Many areas prone to landslides that cover a total river flow. Flood mitigation has been done with pure hydraulic
method. Making cibinuangeun river diversion and river normalization cilemer has been done. One alternativeis the concept
of ecological hydraulic using bio-engineering methods. This study aims to apply Analisys Hierarchy Process (AHP) for
decision making in the selection of priority bio-engineering methods that can be applied in flood control at Ciliman
Watershed Banten Province. The method used in this study is a mixed methods (quantitative less dominant qualitative).
Analysis conducted the analisys hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the selection of priority bio-engineering methods that
can be applied to control flooding Ciliman Watershed Banten Province.
