Abstract

Measurement of the resistivity value distribution of subsurface rocks has been carried out in Mumbul Sari Village, Bayan District, North Lombok, which is one of the drought-prone areas in NTB Province, Indonesia. This research was conducted to identify the presence of groundwater aquifer layers in the study area based on the distribution of resistivity values. Data collection was carried out at two measurement points, namely the MBLS-1 Point with a track length of 700 m and the MBLS-2 Point with a length of 750 m. Data processing was carried out using IP2WIN Software to obtain a one-dimensional subsurface cross-sectional model, then interpreted using a resistivity log to make it easier to draw information on the subsurface point of measurement. Based on the distribution of resistivity values, it is known that the geological layers in the study area consist of pumice tuff, silty silt, sandy silt, and lava. The inversion results from the IP2WIN software show that the depth of the aquifer zone at Point MBLS-1 is 15.6 – 70.2 m with a resistivity value of 90.3 Ωm and a thickness of 54.5 m, while at Point MBLS-2 it is located at a depth of 21.9 – 86.1 m with a resistivity value of 112 Ωm and a thickness 64.3m. The aquifer zone at both measurement points is interpreted as a sandy silt layer. Groundwater drilling is recommended at the MBLS-1 point to a depth of 70 m and at the MBLS-2 point to a depth of 86 m. The geological structure that forms the boundary of the aquifer zone is a layer of compact and hard lava, so for groundwater utilization in the study area, it is recommended to use drilled wells to a depth of 70 – 86 m which is the lower limit of the aquifer layer.

Abstract

The Boron-Lithium-Chlorine (B-Li-Cl) trend line serves as a valuable geochemical tool for distinguishing the dominance of hydrothermal water and surface water in geothermal environments. In this study, we applied the B-Li-Cl trend line to analyze the geochemical characteristics of water samples from the Tengchong geothermal area in Southwestern China. Our results reveal distinct patterns that differentiate hydrothermal water from surface water, offering insights into the geochemical processes and interactions occurring in this region. The lower Cl/Li and Cl/B ratio values of meteoric water with a Cl concentration of less than10 (mg/L) indicate that mixing occurs not only when migrating upwards, but also inwards. The absence of a trend formed at a Cl concentration of less than10 (mg/L) proves that the Cl concentration can be diluted by mixing with meteoric water. Meanwhile, the concentrations of Li more than 100 (µg/L) and B more than 1 (mg/L) form a downward trend from magmatic water, while the concentration of B less than 1 (mg/L) has a downward trend from meteoric water. Both interpretations confirm that the behaviour of Lithium and Boron towards temperature changes has the same tendency, which can illustrate the origin of hydrothermal water formation.
