Abstract

This research is based on the assumption that the physical environ-ment may provide some degree of protection to groundwater against the natural and human impacts, especially with regard to contamination entering subsurface environment. Study on groundwater vulnerability to contamination .become important. It can be used as a valuable planning tool to overcome the problem of groundwater quality due to uncontrolled land development and undesirable activities. The aims of this study are : 1) to study the distribution of DRASTIC parameters, which are depth to water table, rainfall, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of vadose zone, and conductivity; 2) to analyze the vulnerability of groundwater to contaminationThe stua5, was performed by weighting and rating method of DRASTIC parameters. The degree of groundwater vulnerability to contamination is depicted in DRASTIC Index. DRASTIC Index is determined by overall sum of all multiplication between score and weight number ofeach parameter. Data manipulation and data analysis were all performed using Geographic Information System (Arc/View version 3.2). The vulnerability map of groundwater to contamination has been generated using overlay operation of DRASTIC parameters.The result showed that DRASTIC index varies between 73 to 172 intervals. Hence, the indexes were categorized into five level of groundwater vulnerability, namely invulnerable (73-92), low vulnerable (93-112), moderate vulnerable (113-132), high vulnerable (133-152) and very high vulnerable (153-172). It is found that more than 50 % of the study area is covered by high and very high vulnerability of groundwater to contamination. The vulnerability level and its area as follows : vo• high 92974.63 ha or 28.18%), high (7049.86 ha or 66.79 %), moderate (529.90 ha or 5.02 %). low (0.148 ha or 0.0014 %) and invulnerable (0.003 ha or 0.0003 %).

Abstract

Beton karst spring is located in the Ponjong sub District Gunungkidul Regency, at thewestern part of Bribin undergorund river catchment area. The purpose of this study are: 1) toknow the variations of rainfall and discharge in the research area, 2) to know thecharacteristics of the physical water quality of Beton spring and 3) to determine therelationship between the variations of the rainfall toward the discharge and the physicalwater quality of Beton spring. This study uses survey methods and the techniques of datacollection using sample by purposive sampling. The variables are rainfall (the depth andintensity), spring discharge and physical water quality of spring (EC, T, TDS, turbidity). Thedata analysis is conducted graphically and descriptively to explain the relationship betweenthe variations of rainfall to the discharge and physical water quality of spring. The resultsshow the rainfall has variations include the pattern, events and the amount of rainfall. Betonspring has high discharge variations. The physical water quality of the spring meets to thewater quality standards according to the Government Regulation number 82 years 2001. Thestrong correlation between rainfall variations to the discharge and the physical water qualityof Beton spring can be seen clearly. It is reflected from the high value of R2.

Abstract

Allogenic recharge generally contributes to the formation of the main underground river system in a karst area. However, allogenic recharge have a higher susceptibility to contamination than autogenic recharge. This is because recharge from allogenic rivers enters the underground river system without undergoing filtration by soil or rock cavities. This paper discusses changes to ministerial regulations related to karst management that have led to the exclusion of allogenic river areas from the management of allogenic rivers, examines the urgency of managing allogenic rivers, and recommends future management of karst areas from the perspective of water resources management. The change in the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) regulation regarding karst management has led to a simplification of the scope related to the main tasks and functions of the Ministry of ESDM. This should be followed by making changes to regulations that are higher than the ministerial level regulations so that the management objectives stated in the previous regulation can be covered and there is holistic management of the karst area.
