Abstract: The development of urban growth has increased so phenomena that occurs in the environment related to water resources is increasing. Population growth every year growings to accompany urban growth, make to use of groundwater is increasing. The phenomenon that occurs is that the availability of land for the process is the infiltration of water into the soil decreases where hectarage that there was insufficient absorption of water into the ground, in addition to the absorption of water into the soil influence levels of permeability of the soil type on the local environment surrounding catchment. As a result of the amount of water infiltration into the soil that is not balance so the surface flow is greater that needs to be taken into account the capacity of the drainage channel that can accommodate the runoff water.
To anticipate its happened so in this research of permeability of the water absorbing power for different types of soil to perform tests soil, so that can know the capacity of the drainage channel is needed. Calculation of rainfall can be substantial rainfall in one year amounted to 54.56 m3 / sec and pervasive only 5:37 m3 / sec or 9.84% .This shows that the type of soil around the various research areas of silt and clay so that the small pores that lead to runoff is greater. Under these conditions the necessary dimensions of the drainage channel that can accommodate runoff and combined with additional create folders reservoirs, recharge wells, pits and other biopori. So with rainfall there can be accommodated by a drainage channel.
Keywords: Soil permeability, drainage.
