Abstract

Bayat is located in the south of central Java, Indonesia. In the quaternary deposit area, groundwater on some dug wells taste salty and previous studies discovered salty-tasted water with electrical conductivity (EC) >5000 μS/cm and chloride concentration >1000 mg/l. Local information reported that the number of wells containing salty-tasted water increased after the 6.2 Mw earthquake on May 27th, 2006 in Yogyakarta. This research aims to determine the distribution of salty-tasted groundwater and its relation with the geological condition by conducting a hydrogeological investigation. On the hydrogeological investigation, dug wells were observed for physical-chemical characteristics such as total dissolved solid (TDS) and EC; additionally, groundwater samples were collected for chloride ion analysis. Geology of the study area is mapped based on previous studies. The result showed that the high TDS/EC groundwater correlated with salty-tasted water which found in three different areas, including in the west, middle and east part of the study area. The occurrence of salty-tasted water strongly aligns with faults zone. In conclusion, deep salty-tasted water emerges not only locally near the fault zone but also associated with trapped groundwater and buried anticline. In regard to those sources, it can be predicted that in the near future more dug wells water may turn into salty-tasted water, especially in the area closed to the fault zone.

Abstract

The Parangtritis area is a tourist destination in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, consisting of dunes and plains. One of the essential parameters in tourist areas is the provision of water sources. The increase in tourist visits and the development of tourism facilities in this area have increased groundwater utilization. Therefore, this study aims to assess the potential of seawater intrusion in the Parangtritis Beach area and its surroundings, Indonesia. The research was carried out by surveying, field measurements, and groundwater samples to test major ions in the laboratory. Indications of seawater intrusion are based on TDS values, Cl-, Simpson ratio, Sodium Chloride ratio, BEX, and groundwater type. The results showed that the research area had a shallow groundwater level with groundwater flow relative to the south-southwest and composed of unconfined aquifers. Only two water samples indicate seawater intrusion from Parangwedang spring and its southern place based on the geochemical analysis. However, this spring was formed due to geological structure related to geothermal manifestation and not due to seawater intrusion. It has a lateral flow to the south and is mixed with shallow groundwater, thereby increasing the chloride concentration in the groundwater. The sea-freshwater interface has a depth from 52 meters to 284 meters from sea level, where the farther from the coastline, the more profound.

Abstract

In 1997, groundwater pollution was caused by a diesel leak at the Yogyakarta City Railway Station. People in the south of the railway station discovered the presence of diesel in dug wells in 2001. The existing diesel is still found in dug wells even though the pollutant source had been removed. The current source of pollution comes from diesel residues trapped in the unsaturated zone. Understanding the distribution and concentration of diesel in the unsaturated zone is the goal of this study. In this study, diesel concentration was measured based on Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels. The research was conducted through shallow core and deep core drillings. Shallow core drilling was done at 14 points with a depth of 50 cm, and deep core drilling was done at nine drilling points with a depth of 15-17 m. 14 shallow core drilling samples were taken from a depth of 30 and 50 cm and nine deep core drilling samples were taken from a depth of 4-5 m and 10-11 m. The lithology logs in both drills were tested for diesel odour and TOC levels using the Soli TOC tool. Based on the test results, the smell of diesel was found at a depth of 10 to 15 m. TOC levels in the unsaturated zone ranged from 340 to 90,870 mg/L. TOC levels >30,000 mg/L were dominant at shallow depths even though they did not smell like diesel. At a location close to the source of the diesel tank leak at a depth of 4-5 m, the measured TOC level was 30,100 mg/L. The results showed that there were zones of high TOC levels associated with diesel odour layers. The zones existed because of the infiltration and percolation processes that had carried surface water and diesel pollutants and eventually moved horizontally following groundwater flow.

Abstract

The presence of natural cavities in karst morphology may cause severe civil engineering and environmental management problems. Karst formations will limit the expansion of urbanization, especially infrastructure development in limestone areas. Geophysical methods, especially electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) techniques, are effective and efficient solutions to detect voids below the surface. This study aimed to develop a subsidence hazard map as basic information for infrastructure development. The identification was made by measuring electrical resistivity tomography on eight profiles in the infrastructure development plan. In addition, it was also supported by geological mapping, particularly the structural geology and types of rocks around the site. The research area consists of massive limestone, bedded limestone, and cavity limestone with generally north-south joints. The analysis of geological mapping data and electrical resistivity tomography measurements showed that the cavity limestone was identified with a north-south elongated pattern in line with the fracture pattern found on the surface at the research area. The surface lithology type, the geological structures density, and the subsurface lithology were used to develop a subsidence hazard map. This information is beneficial in determining the safe location of infrastructure development based on disaster risk mitigation.

Abstract

Leakage or seepage in reservoirs and dams has the potential for structural instabilities persuaded by water leakage pathways and linked to economic consequences. An environmental isotopic and hydrochemical research was conducted to determine the source and origin of seepages on the tunnel of Pandanduri dam, Lombok Island, Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the source of the tunnel leak on the dam site and the origin or source of water at the point of leakage based on water chemistry data and stable isotopes. To identify the source of the leakage water in the tunnel dam, 33 samples of the leakage water, groundwater, reservoir water, river water, and rainfall water were taken for chemical and isotopic composition analysis. The field measured the reservoir level, spring discharges, and physicochemical parameters (EC, pH, TDS, TSS). The physicochemical parameters show that the leakages water is similar to reservoir water. The types of leakage water in the tunnel belong to alkaline water, predominantly sulfate-chloride. This type of water is deep groundwater with a higher sulfate and chloride concentration than surface water or shallow groundwater. Hydrochemical and isotope analysis showed that water origin at leakage points is dominated by groundwater.

Abstract

Landslides are a recurring phenomenon that disrupts the natural environment and causes yearly property damage, economic losses, and fatalities. The damage is expected to increase due to deforestation rates, population growth, agriculture, slope-building infrastructure expansion, and global climate change. This study assesses the susceptibility to landslides through Weight of Evidence (WoE) and Frequency Ratio (FR) methods in the Temanggung Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia, that located on the slopes of two active volcanoes. Initially, a landslide record and the input parameters of the landslide controlling factors were prepared from field surveys, remote sensing data, and secondary data and processed by a geographic information system (GIS). Six landslide parameters in thematic layer maps were selected to develop landslide susceptibility: slope, lithology type, geological structure density, land cover, and rainfall. According to the WoE and FR models, a landslide susceptibility zoning map was classified into four landslide-prone zones from low to very high. Finally, the success and predictive rate curves method confirmed the landslide susceptibility maps to check the model accuracy. The results showed that the landslide susceptibility map using the WoE method had better accuracy than the FR method, with a success rate of 78.48% and a prediction rate of 81.1%. In comparison, the FR method was 74.53% for the success rate and 78.48% for the prediction rate. These landslide susceptibility maps can be used as a guideline to develop land-use planning and landslide disaster mitigation.

Abstract

Nitrate is difficult to manage in shallow urban aquifers where polluted rivers and mixed land uses stress the same groundwater. This study examined the extent to which Kali Belik contributes to the long-term rise in nitrate at Umbul Pace, a spring-fed well supplying the SPAM TOYAGAMA system in the Yogyakarta-Sleman volcanic aquifer, Indonesia. The analysis combined water-quality sampling, spatial analysis, and a calibrated flow-and-transport model (RMSE = 1.39 m) over a 2.375 km² domain. The model showed Kali Belik losing water to the aquifer, yet the evidence does not support the river as the main nitrate source. Nitrate at Umbul Pace rose from 1.93 mg/L as NO?-N in 2001 to 16.5 mg/L in August 2025, while the river never exceeded 4.61 mg/L. Even with the river load doubled in the model, the concentration at the well reached only 5.01 mg/L. Backward particle tracking (77-123 days) delineates a local capture zone dominated by settlements, agriculture, and livestock facilities, pointing to persistent anthropogenic loading and land degradation along the recharge corridor as the more plausible explanation. Aquifer protection therefore cannot rely solely on the river: travel-time zoning, land-use controls, and nitrate treatment at the wellhead are needed.
