This research is an elaboration of the response of the coalition of NGOs and affected communities in rejecting the sand mining in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi. This study aims to analyze the motives and methods of advocacy carried out by NGOs and affected communities. This study also tries to examine the factors that influence cohesiveness between those who are resistant to this extractive industry. This research uses a qualitative approach. We got data in this study through interviews, observations, and document reviews. This study found that the primary motive of the Save Coastal Alliance Against the Sea Sand Mine in Takalar expresses resistance from NGOs and affected communities on the economic and environmental effects of the extractive industry of sand mining. The advocacy method adopted includes four step strategies. The first is conducting political education for citizens; Second, build alliances with other NGOs and; Third is conducting a lawsuit and; Fourth, through non-litigation.

Indonesia is one of the tropical countries that only has two seasons, namely the dry season and the rainy season. The prolonged dry season caused the villagers in Sampakang having difficulties in obtaining clean water sources. This research conducted in Sampakang, Maros, Indonesia aims to obtain groundwater that can be used as a spring for villagers. The research was conducted using the Geoelectrical Resistivity Method Wenner Schlumberger configuration with a total trajectory of 56 m. The results of the analysis showed that the soil structure consists of shallow groundwater and the RMS error is 2.2%. Where the thickness of the aquifer layer is 9 m and was found at a depth of 2.5 m-11.5 m. Aquifer layer in the form of alluvium deposits with a resistivity value of about <10.9 Ωm-100 Ωm. There is a permeable layer in the form of limestone in a depth of 9.6 m with resistivity value at >100 Ωm.
