Abstract

The Lantung area is one of the places on Sumbawa Island with a large gold deposit. One of the activities of the Lantung people that has the potential to damage the environment is separating gold from mercury. This study aimed to examine the activity of the gold laundering process, and the level of contamination of groundwater and river water due to gold processing from amalgamation by mercury (Hg+) waste. In this study, sampling was carried out for each location, namely two samples of wastewater, six samples of river water, and two samples of groundwater, which were then tested in the laboratory on the parameters of mercury and TSS. At the same time, pH was measured in the field. Furthermore, from the survey results, it was found that the use of mercury was ±150-250 mL at each gold processing location. The results showed that all samples from wastewater (tailings), groundwater and river water were contaminated with mercury with levels exceeding the acceptable quality standards. Furthermore, the status of water quality using the Pollution Index (IP) method shows that wastewater is light to moderately polluted, groundwater is lightly polluted, and river water is also lightly to moderately polluted.

Abstract

The eastern slope of Ungaran Volcano is an area under high pressure for clean water needs due to population growth and the expansion of residential and industrial areas. This study aims to identify and characterize the aquifer system through a hydrostratigraphic approach that integrates Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) data from nine measurement points, borehole log data to a depth of 35 m, and geological and geomorphological information. The research results show the presence of two main aquifer systems, namely unconfined aquifers and confined aquifers. The unconfined aquifer is widely distributed in the central and eastern regions, particularly in the geomorphological unit of the Middle Slope Young Ungaran Pyroclastic Flow (VM6), which is dominated by porous lahar deposits. Meanwhile, the confined aquifer is identified in the northeastern zone, characterized by lahar layers trapped between impermeable rock formations of lava and fine tuff. The interpretation of rock resistivity shows that lahar deposits (10–100 Ωm) act as an aquifer, lava (>100 Ωm) as an aquifuge, and tuff (<10 Ωm) as an aquiclude. The 2D and 3D hydrostratigraphic models produced clearly illustrate the spatial distribution of aquifers, where the greatest groundwater potential is found in the eastern, central, and part of the northern regions. In contrast, the western and southern regions are dominated by lava rock, which has low aquifer potential. This finding provides an important scientific basis for the sustainable management and utilization of groundwater resources in volcanic areas.
