Application of Vertical Gravity Gradient to Delineate Groundwater Damage at Bandung Basin

Abstract

Bandung basin is the center of the population at West Java, and several Industrial areasis. In supporting its sustainability, water needs is one of the factors that must be fulfilled. The water needs are obtained by taking water directly from groundwater. Excessive extraction of groundwater can cause damage, the impact of which is the more difficult it is to obtain groundwater and cause environmental disaster in the form of land subsidence. Using the vertical gravity gradient technique in the Bandung basin area is expected to map the critical groundwater damage zone. The results from the vertical gravity gradient area of the Bandung basin map, the region of groundwater with critical status are found in almost all cities, except in the Baleendah area to Ciparay and Soreang to the south of Cimahi.

Rethinking Strategies To Improve Economic Development In Bandung Regency

“…The positive impact obtained is an increase in welfare and prosperity due to increased income and opening up a fairly high number of job opportunities; exporting products from overseas processing industries can help increase the country's foreign exchange and create comparative reliability both for the region and for the country (Kilavuz and Topcu, 2012;Adeusi and Aluko, 2015;Shikher, 2017;Nwosa, 2018). Meanwhile, the negative impact often afflicts the natural environment sustainability due to industrial waste disposal, the intensive use of raw material resources and energy, a decrease in air quality, and land subsidence (Oláh et al, 2020;Abdurrahman et al, 2022) BPS states that the processing industry itself is defined as an industry that is active in converting basic goods, either through mechanical, chemical, or manual methods, into finished/semi-finished goods and/or goods that previously had less value into goods with more value and is closer to the end-user. Examples of processing industries are the textile industry, the paper industry, the processed food, and beverage industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and so on.…”
