Abstract:This research was conducted to examine the condition (location, depth, and thickness) of the aquifer, to assess the humidity level using the NDW index, and to determine the relationship between aquifer conditions and the sustainability of the geothermal system using the geoelectrical method of resistivity in the North Langowan geothermal area. The comparison between rock layer resistivity data and spectral values based on geological-hydrogeological maps was carried out to determine the relationship between aqu… Show more
“…Sihotang et al (2018) classify the type of aquifer not potential because it is influenced by rock conditions in the region research dominated by claystone and siltstone. The condition of the aquifer has a classification of humidity levels including moderate wetness which indicates good continuity of the geothermal system (Wowor et al, 2021). Maemuna et al (2017) conducted research using the Schlumberger configuration found the presence of an aquifer at a depth of 7.57 -23.8 m with sand type.…”
Bengkulu city is facing groundwater problems where some of the groundwater is brackish. The study aimed to determine the structure of the subsurface layer through the propagation velocity of secondary wave (Vs) in a layer of porous medium in estimating the potential for groundwater. This research supported by resistivity data and will be validated based on the depth of the well. MASW data was processed using WinMASW Professional 5.0 software to obtain a 1D profile of the Vs value, and Res2dinv software was used to obtain a 2D cross-section of the resistivity value. The results showed a decrease in the value of Vs in the porous medium layer from 133 to 358 m/s in the first path, and from 149 to 314 m/s for the second path. The decrease in the value of Vs is in the range of groundwater potential which is close to the depth of the resident's well, with the type of porous medium layer being sands and intact clays. The subsurface profile from the Vs measurement shows a good agreement with the resistivity value profile from the Geoelectric method. So, secondary wave propagation can be used in determining groundwater potential for a depth of < 10 m
