Abstract
Abstract the availability of water resources is increasingly limited and even tends to be increasingly scarce; an in-depth study of geological-hydrogeological analysis of springs and groundwater is needed to support various community activities. This research was conducted to determine the hydrogeological system in the Pandanduri Dam area and its surroundings. Geological conditions and geomorphology determine the hydrogeological system and groundwater flow direction patterns. Geological conditions were obtained by conducting field investigations, and groundwater level data was obtained by measuring dug wells from 36 points and measuring 13 points of spring locations. Volcanic sedimentary rocks and volcanic breccia dominate the study area. Three (3) rock units can be distinguished, namely (1) the Andesite tuff breccia – pumice unit is located in the southern part of the study area, precisely in the reservoir area, and (2) the Andesite tuff breccia unit dominates located in the southern part of the study area. The study area’s eastern, western, and northern parts and (3) alluvial deposit units located in the study area covered the andesite volcanic breccia. The aquifer consists of volcanic sedimentary rock and volcanic breccia with a sandy bottom. The 2D interpretation of the dam area shows that the sandy volcanic breccia unit has a resistivity value between 5 ohms - 25 ohms in the form of lapilli tuff sand interspersed with fine tuff, located at a depth of 8 meters below the surface. The pattern of the direction of groundwater flow indicates that the movement of groundwater follows the shape of the topography that flows from the hilly area west-northwest of Santong Village to the southeastern river valley of Pandanduri Village; geological and geomorphological conditions affect this groundwater flow pattern.
