Existence Of Springs Research Articles

Springs and Tourism Facilities Development in Purwosari, Gunungkidul, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia

There have been progressive development and construction of tourism facilities such as hotels and restaurants in Purwosari. Besides the tourism development potentials, Purwosari, also has problems related to surface water sources. The research on the existence of springs in this place is urgent to support water needs for tourism facility development near tourism sites. This research consists of two parts: (1) to observe springs’ existence, water quality, relative water quantity, existence throughout the year, and spring’s relative distance to tourism sites, and (2) to determine suitable springs near tourism sites, related to the development of tourism facilities along the southern coast of Purwosari area. Based on field observation and interviews with five key persons in each village, the results show that 27 springs spread over the research area are unevenly distributed. The quality of spring water is good according to its physical-chemical properties. There are 13 springs with relatively abundant discharge, nine springs are relatively near to tourism sites, and 23 flows the water throughout the year. Springs evaluation with the MCDA method for developing tourism facilities along the waterfront of the Purwosari shows that only 11 springs have the potential to be economical and efficient sources of clean water.

Development of Sirah Cai Cipelang Tourist Destination on A Regional Based on Village Own Enterprise (BUMDES) Empowerment

The development of village tourist destinations can accelerate the transformation of the rural economy from 'low value added' status to 'high value added' which impacts expanding employment opportunities, increasing income, and family economic resilience. Cipamekar Village, Sumedang Regency has great potential to become a regional tourist destination, considering the existence of spring and agro-tourism tourist destinations that are easily accessible to the people of West Java when Cisumdawu Toll Road is already operating. Therefore, it is necessary to have a process of empowering BUMDes Tirta Mekar so that the development of sirah cai cipelang tourist destinations uses scientific and innovative approaches. The methodology is carried out by looking directly at BUMDes-BUMDes that have successfully managed their tourist areas to be used as a reference in the development of BUMDes in managing sirah cai cipelang tourism.

Depicting the Underground River Systems in Karst Mountains of Buayan and Ayah Subdistricts Using GGMPlus Data and Springs Distribution

The karst mountain area in Buayan and Ayah subdistricts is a mountainous area that stretches from North to South and ends in the South coast region. In this area, many springs are found which are a source of clean water for residents. The existence of springs in the area is an indicator of the existence of underground rivers flowing under the mountainous area, this is also reinforced by the presence of interconnected caves and the existence of river flows in these caves. Analysis the presence of underground river flows in the Karst mountain area in the study area can be identified by looking at the type of rock formations that dominate the area. The density contrast shown through the residual gravity data also shows changes in rock formations related to the presence of water sources in the study area. GGMPlus data was obtained from forward modeling in order to get a residual map. This study shows that rock formations in the Karst area in the study area conform to the topographical shape.

Ground water exploration using geo-electric method for Sumber Cemung pool development

The existence of springs cannot be obtained in each region; therefore it will be very detrimental if the presence of springs is not optimally utilized. This encourages Sumbercemung Villager, Wlingi Regency to take advantage of the potential of the existing spring. It is planned that in this area a tourist pool will be built using water sources. So there needs a research to support the developement of the pool. This study aims to determine the potential of ground water that will be planned for the location of pool. With the existence of this pool, it is expected to be a source of income for the Sumbercemung villager. This study was conducted by measuring soil resistivity using the Geo-electric method to determine the condition of groundwater around a spring. Analysis of geo-electric data uses Zondres software in 2D which is then analized in 3D using Voxler software. Based on the results of the analysis of groundwater from geo-electric data, no artesian aquifer were found in the location reviewed and only a water basin with a volume of 25291 m3 was found. Thus, the needs of pool water is filled with dependable flow.

Applying Remote Sensing Technology and Geographic Information System in Batu, East Java

This research is aimed to map potential landslide areas, identify types of the landslide, and draw a map of potential landslide level. This research was carried out in Batu, East Java. The research design that was used in the study was image interpretation of Landsat 7 Band 432 Satellite and primary data of the landslide causes (the data of soil and rocks, map interpretation, and variable scoring of the landslide. ArcGIS 9.3 and ArcView 3.2 software was used for map analysis. The researcher also analyzed the soil texture, permeability and land plasticity index, bedding, weathering level, the density of joints, the depth of weathering, the existence of springs, slopes, and slope cutting. The research findings showed that the image of Landsat 7 Bands 432 in 1:11.000 – 1:15.000 scale could be used to interpret land use and land cover. Interpreted land use included housing, bare soil, irrigated rice field, rain-fed rice field, moor, nursery area, garden, slope failure, natural forest, sengon forest, pine forest, and agroforestry.

Early Water Systems at Gran Quivira National Monument

From the time early in the nineteenth century when the ruins now known as Gran Quivira National Monument were rediscovered, speculation as to the source of the water supply has been rife. Many are the theories to account for the presence of this pueblo ruin in the midst of an expansive waterless region. These theories range from an assumption of the former existence of springs, now long dried up, to tales of marvelous aqueducts which brought water from a spring in the Gallinas Mountains to the east, a distance of fifteen miles. Recently, researches have brought to light new data in explanation of this apparent condition. It is, therefore, the purpose of this paper to assemble all of the available evidence, to evaluate and present it.

Geographical Studies of the District Kawazu Hot Spring in Izu Peninsula

Thirty main hot springs are found in the vicinity of Mine-Onsen. The area under discussion is situated along the northern part of the Kawazu River. The river valley is presumably a fault origin. These hot springs, issued from the alluvial sand and the Tertiary Formation, are arranged along several lines running in directions of nearly NNW-SSE and WNW-ESE. The directions coincide with that of the fissures in the agglomerate, andesite tuff or liparite fuff which belongs to the Tertiary Formation. Moreover, partaining to the hot springs near Rendaizi in the southern part of the district, their distribution are influeced by the fissures that run nearly in the same direction as those of the northern part of this district. Next, the location of rice-field on the mounntain slope is determined by the existence of springs from which irrigation water is available. These springs are also arranged along the fissures above-mentioned. Therefore, it is possible to say the tectonic structures are playing one of the most important rolls for the human activities of this region.
