Abstract
The development of Serang City as the central government of Banten Province leads to persistently increasing demand for clean water in the area and its surroundings. This study aimed to perform the hydrogeological mapping of the southwestern part of Serang Regency. The study area covered four districts, namely Baros, Padarincang, Paburuan, and Ciomas. These four districts are the clean water source of Serang City that also functions as a buffer zone designed for the development of freshwater fishery and wetland agriculture. Hydrogeological mapping in the study area is expected to be one of the inputs in planning the use of water resources. The method used in this research included analyses of drill data, geophysical measurement results, the findings of previous studies, hydrological map scale 1:250000, and geological map scale 1:100000, as well as geomorphological mapping and field survey. This research produced six classes of hydrogeological units that covered areas with scarce groundwater productivity up to those with high groundwater productivity.
Highlights
Serang City has grown quite rapidly since its establishment as the capital of Banten Province in 2000 [1]
The isohyet map of the study area was developed with an interval of 100-mm rainfall
The annual rainfall of the study area is in the range of 1,600–2,700 mm
Summary
Serang City has grown quite rapidly since its establishment as the capital of Banten Province in 2000 [1]. Serang City experiences extensive development as an attempt to support its function as the capital of the province [3]. This development leads to the increasing demand for resources to meet the needs of the city, for instance, the water resource needs. Such development affects the environmental conditions of the city and the surrounding buffer zone.
