Analysis Of The Potential Of Volcanic Aquifers In Supporting The Development Of Groundwater Resources In Bogor District, West Java

Abstract

This research is crucial for understanding the aquifer potential of volcanic deposits as a sustainable groundwater source, especially in regions experiencing rapid urbanization and agricultural expansion. It aims to analyze the aquifer potential of volcanic deposits in Bogor Regency, focusing on the Bogor Groundwater Basin, the upper Cisadane watershed, the eastern slopes of Mount Salak, and the western slopes of Mount Pangrango. The methods used include secondary data collection from regional geological maps and primary data collection through field surveys, geological mapping, and hydrogeological mapping. The results show that the volcanic rock units in this area, consisting of stony tuff, tuff breccia, lava, and andesite lava, have unique characteristics with significant potential as aquifers. Detailed geomorphological and hydrogeological mapping revealed different types of springs and physical properties of water that support the sustainability of groundwater resources. These findings contribute significantly to the development of better groundwater management policies, effective water infrastructure development, and environmental conservation strategies in Bogor District, ensuring clean water availability for the future.
