Abstract

The number of unregistered artesian wells increases every year in the northern slopes of Bromo Volcano, Pasuruan. Artesian wells are used for domestic needs and agricultural irrigation but are not followed by environmentally sound groundwater use. The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for groundwater, groundwater use, wasted groundwater, and recommendations for groundwater management. The groundwater potential was obtained by measuring the depth of the groundwater table, piezometric surface of artesian wells, and geoelectrical data. Water uses were obtained from calculations based on the Indonesian National Standard. The amount of wasted groundwater was obtained by comparing the groundwater potentials, groundwater uses, and groundwater discharges from unregistered artesian wells. Water transfer was assessed by selecting unregistered artesian wells with discharges able to fulfill the water demands of each village. Groundwater in the Sub-Districts of Gondang Wetan and Winongan has high potential consisting of 1 unconfined aquifer group and two confined aquifer groups. Gondang Wetan and Winongan Sub-Districts are characterized as wasting groundwater potential through unregistered artesian wells. The discharge flow of unregistered artesian wells exceeds the water needs (>100%) in Winongan and Gondang Wetan Sub-Districts. Groundwater can be managed by water transfer, closure of artesian wells, and regulation of artesian wells use. Water can be transferred to areas not covered by Artesian wells in 20 villages. The number of artesian wells used for water transfer is 20 with a discharge of 5-20 liters/s.

... Interpretation of data demands expertise to avoid ambiguities (Olorunfemi et al., 1999;Adeyemo et al., 2014;Arsène et al., 2018). The method of determining the direction of groundwater movement by measuring the elevation of groundwater at multiple locations over the aerial extent of an aquifer has been widely acknowledged (Hendrayana et al. (2021). Unlike other methods, hydrostatic measurements offer in-situ data in groundwater investigations. ...

Hydrostatic level sampling, geo-referencing and Geographic Information System were employed to delineate the major groundwater recharge / discharge zones, the groundwater flow direction and the groundwater divides in Ado-Ekiti metropolis with the objective of groundwater resource protection. Static water level measurements were made from 108 hand – dug wells evenly distributed on a regional basis. The latitudes, longitudes and elevations above mean sea level of the well points were measured using the Global Positioning System. A mean value of 5.84 ± 2.35 m above mean sea level was observed for the depths to the static water level with a mean value of 408.27 ± 46.06 m above mean sea level for the groundwater head. The contour maps obtained enabled the delineation of the major groundwater recharge / discharge zones, the groundwater flow direction and the groundwater divides with the regional tendency of the underground flow approximately lying along the Northwest – Southeast direction and groundwater divides along the South – Eastern/ South – Western axes of the Central portion. Strict environmental ethics must be enforced around the groundwater recharge / discharge zones and flow directions in order to avoid groundwater contamination.
... This southern part of the Merapi Volcano aquifer has a thickness ranging from 80-150 meters (Hendrayana et al., 2020). The thickness of aquifers in other stratovolcanoes in Indonesia, for example, at Mount Bromo-Tengger ranges from 0-60 meters which is an unconfined aquifer and at a depth of more than 100 meters is a depressed aquifer (Hendrayana et al., 2021a). 8 36 143 22 3 3 110 23 5 18 176 24 3 45 193 25 7 19 166 26 7 8 128 27 7 49 140 28 10 19 180 29 8 31 233 30 10 0.10 210 31 10 70 131 32 10 39 211 33 11 31 214 34 10 79 280 35 11 20 135 36 9 1 265 37 3 19 199 38 10 28 215 39 5 20 176 40 2 40 217 41 8 11 118 42 5 1 186 43 2 10 221 44 7 7 186 45 10 22 285 46 27 20 193 47 73 48 71 48 185 43 384 49 37 32 353 50 25 37 293 51 8 20 165 52 5 10 235 53 10 9 106 54 7 1 139 55 23 47 168 56 10 42 177 ...
... The same results were also obtained in Merapi Volcano where the potential value for groundwater is greater than the water demand (Hendrayana et al., 2020). Similar results are also found in the Bromo-Tengger Volcano, which has a higher groundwater potential in shallow and depressed aquifers compared to water requirements (Hendrayana et al., 2021a). The same results were also obtained in Arjuno Welirang Volcano, which has a large groundwater potential compared to utilization by domestic and industrial needs (Subekti, 2012;Baud et al., 2021). ...

Article history: Like other natural resources, groundwater is also being exploited at an increasing rate, especially for domestic requirements. Groundwater is preferred as a domestic water source because of its continuous availability and relatively good quality. Unfortunately, not all places have sufficient groundwater availability of good quality. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the aquifer in the study area and evaluate its groundwater potential for domestic needs. Aquifer characteristics were determined based on geological and geomorphological conditions, while groundwater potential was calculated using a static approach. The results showed that the characteristics of the aquifers in Kediri Regency are various. In the eastern and central parts of the study area, the characteristics of the aquifer can be in the form of unconfined aquifers with high productivity. In the western part, most of them have non-aquifer material, so it is difficult to find groundwater. Groundwater generally fills joints and diaclase formed in andesitic lava with low discharge. Although the conditions of the aquifer are various, in general, the potential for groundwater in Kediri Regency can still support its requirements because the potential for groundwater in Kediri Regency is 71,121,313,394 m 3 , while domestic requirement is 52,348,490 m 3 /year.

El Pardo Woodlands is known as the largest natural setting in the Community of Madrid and it is the oldest Royal Site in the Spanish capital. These hunting grounds were declared a Special Protection Area for Birds in 1987 ( ZEPA ). The present investigation aims to bring to light two main excavated areas that have affected the development of the landscape in this protected woodland area: the artesian wells and the civil war trenches. In order to discuss interventions such as artesian wells and trench construction, we could define that both affected the subsoil but have very different characteristics since the wells were implemented to provide water to the Royal Site of El Pardo, before the war, and the trenches were made a little later to protect the sides that defended the place. These interventions, both from the first half of the 20th century, have modified the natural terrain and, for different reasons. One intervention is the artesian wells constructed by engineer Janini between 1910 and 1920. The other is the construction of trenches. The method employed for this analysis of the impact on the land used is based on historical knowledge of the place. Previously documentation (maps, blueprints and pictures) has been extracted and systematized to locate the wells and trenches in time and place. As a novelty, this study shows unpublished information and photographs found in historical, military and National Heritage archives. The results allowed us to understand factors and elements of the urban layout.
... The use of groundwater in the world increases every year (Franz et al., 2022;Hinge et al., 2022) for domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes (Varol and Davraz, 2015). Increased groundwater use also occurs in Indonesia every year (Hendrayana et al., 2021a, Hendrayana et al., 2021bPurnama et al., 2023). The increase in groundwater use in Indonesia occurs due to low surface water utilization by the average Indonesian community for domestic needs due to its poor water quality (Hendrayana et al., 2023a), such as river water. ...

Groundwater is the main water source that is most widely used in the world, one of which is in Indonesia. One of the uses of groundwater is for consumption needs. Therefore, the groundwater used should have good water quality. For this reason, this study aimed to determine groundwater quality in Indonesia during the dry season and make recommendations for groundwater management policies. A total of 211 groundwater samples taken from springs, drilled wells, and dug wells spread across volcanic areas on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, and Sulawesi were collected to test their quality in this research. The method used in this research consisted of 4 analyses: WHO threshold analysis, Piper Diagram, Water Quality Index (WQI), and statistical correlation and regression. Based on the analysis, it was discovered that 47 K + samples, 1 Na + sample, 5 Ca 2+ samples, 1 Cl-sample, 115 HCO3-samples, 3 TDS samples, and 3 pH samples exceeded WHO standards. The results of the Piper triangle diagram analysis showed that the majority of groundwater in Indonesia falls into the Unpolluted Groundwater classification (categories D and G), and the results of the WQI analysis also showed that 98% of the groundwater in Indonesia analyzed falls into the excellent and good water categories. The results of statistical analysis of the parameters K + , Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , SO4 2-, Cl-, HCO3-, TDS, and pH showed that all these parameters are strongly and positively correlated with the WQI value.

Spatial assessment of groundwater degradation has been carried out in Ado–Ekiti using physicochemical analysis and Geographical Information System (GIS). Groundwater samples from 108 wells were analyzed on a regional basis. Application of GIS enabled the preparation of various thematic maps which were analysed in terms of groundwater quality standards for drinking and domestic utility. The thematic maps of pH, Total Hardness, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Chloride, Calcium and Nitrate concentrations produced were re-classified for integration in a GIS environment to produce the groundwater quality map. Anthropogenic influences were observed on the groundwater quality status of the study area as non-potable groundwater was delineated at the built-up areas and regions adjacent to streams and rivers. The integration of the thematic maps proved useful for the delineation of zones of groundwater quality suitable for human consumption and domestic purposes. Spatial analysis of the groundwater quality is essential for a proper understanding of the present environmental challenges and a projection into the future. This will facilitate quick decision-making for holistic groundwater development and management.
