Southern Mountains, Yogyakarta Special Region is a zone that extends from the south-eastern part of Yogyakarta Special Region to the east along the southern coast of East Java. From the hydrogeological map, it is known that the area is an area of scarce groundwater. This study aims to determine the potential for groundwater in these areas. The identification of groundwater potential is carried out using the Groundwater Potentiality Index (GPI) method by referring to 5 determining parameters: lineaments, lithology, drainage, topography, and rainfall. Lineament, drainage, and topography data were obtained from the Indonesia Geospatial Portal and the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) belonging to the Indonesian Geospatial Information Agency. The lithological data is obtained from data from the Geological Survey Centre, Geological Agency, Ministry of Energy, and Mineral Resources in the form of Geological Maps of Remote Sensing Image Interpretation Results. Rainfall data were obtained from reports from the Serayu Opak River Basin Office and the Public Works, Housing, and Energy Department of Mineral Resources Yogyakarta Special Region. The evaluation of parameters reveals that even in the scarce groundwater zones, estimation of area with possible of groundwater can be classified into five classes of groundwater potential index, namely: very low (<56.25), low (56.25-90), medium (90-123.75), high (123.75-157.5), and very high (> 157.5). In the next step of research the validation may be conducted on a high and very high GPI value whether their are really is associated with the presence of springs and wells. If it is correlated, future exploration of groundwater in this area will be focused and successful.
In the hydrogeological map sheet of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the Mountain Zone is categorized as an area of scarce groundwater. This research is intended to determine the parameters of groundwater potential in the area of scarce groundwater according to the Groundwater Potentiality Index (GPI) methods, including; fractures, lithology, slope, topography, and rainfall. Fracture parameters, distribution, and topography were collected from the Indonesia Geospatial Portal and the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The lithological parameters were obtained from data from the Geological Agency due to the Interpretation of Remote Sensing Images. Rainfall data for the last ten years was obtained from reports. Results show that most of the research area is a fairly massive rock area, and there are some local faults. The lithological parameters indicate that the research area is composed of breccias, sandstones, and tuffs. Distribution parameters obtained information that most distribution is notated river orders 1, 2, and 3 with several river orders notation 4, 5, and 6. The slope varies from <3% to> 65%, and the intensity of rainfall almost evenly ranges from 1600-2100 mm/year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
