Groundwater availability is the main concern in a developing region such as Weh Island, Aceh. To locate groundwater resources, vertical electrical sounding (VES) was used to identify subsurface profiles. The study area is located on a volcanic island. The lithology consists of volcanic rocks as andesite lava and pyroclastic rocks as lapily-tuff until breccia. VES method was carried out in 4 measurement points using the Schlumberger array. The resistivity value used to identify subsurface lithology. The top layer of alluvium and weathered lava have resistivity ranges from 14.3 Ωm to 17.7 Ωm with thickness varies from 0 m – 17.4 m. It is followed by andesite resistivity ranges from 17.3 Ωm to 18.2 Ωm with averages thickness is 17.4 m – 35.2 m. Finally, the bottom layer is filled by breccia-tuff with resistivity value from 5.5 Ωm to 7.3 Ωm. The physical properties of some related rocks allow water accumulation to their bodies. The current polarization indicates water content in the pore space of breecia at the study area which polarization point is identified as the water table.
Penelitian sifat fisik batupasir daerah Jantho dan Krueng Raya dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik batuan masing-masing daerah. Karakteristik batuan diamati melalui respon gelombang ultrasonik pada dua frekuensi berbeda untuk mengetahui nilai cepat rambat dan atenuasi gelombang. Sifat fisis yang diukur meliputi porositas, specific gravity, dan koefesien absorpsi. Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan nilai porositas batupasir daerah Jantho dan Krueng Raya memiliki nilai rata-rata 22% dan 25%. Respon cepat rambat yang dihasilkan pada sampel K16 (𝜙=2,86%) dan K33 (𝜙=8%) pada input frekuensi 1MHz bernilai 4040 m/s dan 3797 m/s, serta koefisien atenuasi bernilai 1,824. Sedangkan, respon cepat rambat yang diperoleh pada sampel Jantho tidak terdeteksi pada instrumen pengukuran. Keterbatasan penguatan sinyal dan tingginya kadar prositas tiap sampel berpengaruh besar pada tiap parameter yang diukur. Peninjauan terhadap jenis sampel yang lebih homogen dapat membantu pengamatan respon gelombang yang lebih baik.
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.
