Cipamingkis River is a subriver of Cibeet river located in Jonggol District, Bogor Regency, West Java Province. On the Cipamingkis river, there is a vital irrigation infrastructure known as the Cipamingkis Dam, which can irrigate approximately 4,591 hectares of rice fields in Bogor Regency and Bekasi Regency. Cipamingkis dam located in Jatinunggal Village, is on the northern slope of the West Java hills which has a relatively steep riverbed slope so that the possibility of degradation of the riverbed is relatively high. slope of the riverbed is relatively steep so that the possibility of riverbed degradation is quite high. riverbed degradation is quite high. In 2020 there were two Ground Sills that had been built upstream of the Cipamingkis weir. The Ground Sill built across the river aims to reduce the current velocity and increase the sediment deposition rate upstream of the Ground Sill so that the slope of the riverbed is relatively gentle and the Cipamingkis Dam does not experience structural failure as has happened before. The effectiveness is determined by comparing the riverbed elevation around the dam structure, before and after years construction of the Ground Sill structure.
