Karst area is highly susceptible to changes to climate parameters. One of the parameters is rainfall variability. In addition to shaping the condition of water resources, rainfall in the Gunung Sewu karst area determines the nature of crop and livestock of the agriculture sectors―the local population's main economic activities, warranting the significance of the rainfall variability studies. Rainfall variability in karst areas also affects disaster conditions such as drought and floods. However, due to insufficient meteorological data in quality and quantity, there has been no rainfall variability studies conducted in this locality. The research intended to analyze rainfall variability in the Gunung Sewu karst area in 1979‒2013 by utilizing rainfall predictions from satellite images that many scholars had tested in different locations and recognized as having good quality. In the analysis, mean monthly rainfall was calculated, and the trends of annual rainfall and average rainfall intensity, dry and rainy seasons, the number of rainy days, and the effect of ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) on rainfall were analyzed. The research data were 35 years of daily rainfall records derived from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR). The analysis results showed that the mean rainfall, number of rainy days, and rainfall intensity had an increasing trend. Also, El Niño quantitatively influenced the rain in the Gunung Kidul karst area.
Although common in developed countries such as Japan and Taiwan, the use of lamps coupled with motion sensors are still uncommon and even rare in Indonesia. Our experiment aims to show that simple installation of commercially available motion sensors can contribute to reduce the electricity bill from the increase of energy efficiency, abundance in availability of energy being the main factor in Indonesian high energy consumption habits. High electricity demand for consumption at current supply level in Indonesia led to the rising cost of electricity bills. This factor is compounded by the fact that many electric generators in Indonesia still use fossil fuels, which contributes to the high basic generation cost. UBL is one of the universities that aim to be a green campus. Our research explores the possibility of installing motion sensors to contribute to the energy efficiency. Although mostly common in developed countries, the use of motion sensors for energy efficiency is still rare, especially in Indonesia. Despite rising cost and supply shortages, Indonesian buildings are still of high energy consumption. Our experiment shows that simple installation of commercially available motion sensors can contribute to reduce the electricity bill from the increase of energy efficiency. One of the efforts to lower energy demand on the consumer side is to use the electricity efficiently, such as turning off lights in a room when it is not in use. This method can be simply done by turning the light switches for office and classrooms, but difficult to do in public spaces such as toilets and corridors. Automatic light switches experimentally installed in sample toilet rooms prove that electricity consumption from the lamps can contribute to the reduction of total weekly energy that translates into Greenhouse Gas emission reduction.
Flow moving slowly (infiltration), and known as steady flow or baseflow is the only supplier of water in underground flows in the form of karst fields during the dry season. Certainly, the character contribution of this flow plays a major role in supporting the supplier of clean water. Understanding related to the character of baseflow in detail has a very high urgency to be studied. This Research aims to do a temporal analysis of baseflow contributions on epikarst water springs in Gunungsewu Karst Area, Indonesia. The research takes place in Guntur Springs that occupy the hydrogeological subsystem. Data used in this Research includes flow data from Guntur Springs for one year. The method used in this Research is automated base flow separation by digital filtering. Results of the analysis show that baseflow contribution in Guntur Springs are between 79.57% and 93.96%.
Pemahaman tentang sistem hidrogeologi dan wilayah tangkapan air dari sebuah mata air sangatlah penting. Hal ini untuk membantu pengelolaan yang menjaga kelestariannya. Mataair Beton merupakan salah satu mataair yang memiliki peranan yang sangat penting di wilayah Ponjong, Kabupaten Gunungkidul. Suplai air dari mataair ini digunakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan air bersih, irigasi persawahan dan perikanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konektivitas dan karakterisasi lorong di sistem hidrogeologi Mataair Beton. Metode yang digunakan adalah tracer test dengan menggunakan fluorescent dyes. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Ponor Seropan memiliki konektivitas dengan Mataair Beton, dan memiliki karakteristik lorong berupa single conduit. Perkembangan lorong yang lanjut menunjukkan bahwa sistem hidrogeologi di lokasi kajian sangat dipengaruhi oleh imbuhan airtanah dari sistem alogenik yang berhulu di wilayah non-karst dan memiliki kerentanan terhadap pencemaran airtanah yang tinggi.Kata Kunci: Karst, Sungai Alogenik, Kawasan Karst Gunung Sewu, Uji Perunutan, Mataair BetonAn understanding of the hydrogeological system and catchment area of spring is very important. This is to help manage that maintains its sustainability. Beton Resurgence is one of the springs that have a very important role in the Ponjong area, Gunungkidul Regency. Water supply from the spring is used to supply clean water, irrigated rice fields, and fisheries. This study aims to determine the connectivity and characterization of Passage in the Beton hydrogeological system. The method used is a tracer test using fluorescent dyes. The results of the analysis of breaktrough curve indicate that Seropan Sinking Stream has connectivity with Beton resurgence, and has passage characteristics in the form of a single conduit. The further development of the passage shows that the hydrogeological system is strongly influenced by groundwater recharge originating from an allogenic system that originates in non-karst areas and has a high groundwater vulnerability to pollution.

The Yogyakarta-Sleman Groundwater Basin has an important role in providing water resources for people of Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta City, and Bantul Regency. If it is not managed properly, excessive groundwater utilization can reduce the quality and quantity of groundwater. This study aims to determine the level of groundwater utilization in the Yogyakarta-Sleman Groundwater Basin. The method used is the calculation of dynamic groundwater and water utilization according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) number 19-6728.1-2002. The results showed that the trend of total groundwater utilization from 2013 to 2018 has increased in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta City, and Bantul Regency. However, when viewed from the level of groundwater utilization, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta City, and Bantul Regency are dominated by low utilization rates, while the very high utilization rates in Sleman Regency are in Godean and Gamping Districts. The utilization rate is very high in the city of Yogyakarta, located in Umbulharjo District. While the level of utilization is very high in Bantul Regency, in Imogiri District. Thus it can be concluded that the level of groundwater utilization in the Yogyakarta-Sleman Groundwater Basin area is quite diverse, dominated by the low category but there are several sub-districts in the very high category, so that the groundwater utilization zone in CAT Yogyakarta-Sleman still needs control, so that it can be sustainable and utilized in the long term. Keywords: groundwater basin, groundwater use, index of groundwater use
