“…According to the study [29], this dissolution will enlarge the fracture or pore space and eventually produce cavities and caves in the karst rock as a cause of the catastrophic collapse. Then geophysical exploration methods are used to obtain information about the subsurface rock layers' structure and the karst environment's high heterogeneity [12,30]. Here, a combination of ERT and MT methods is used to investigate the presence of karst below the surface.…”

offers significant tourism and fisheries potential, supported by the nearby Sempu Island Nature Reserve and a Fish Auction Site (FAS). However, the coastal region is prone to karstification, which may be exacerbated by recent land use developments in the surrounding area. This study aims to analyze the rock layer structures and assess the vulnerability of karst land use to the ongoing karstification process. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Magnetotelluric (MT) methods were employed to investigate karst land within the study area. The findings revealed the presence of karst aquifers in Zone A, extending to a depth of 250 m, characterized by low resistivity values. In Zone B, karst limestone deformation was observed at several locations due to karstification, with moderate resistivity values detected at a depth of 300 m on the surface, indicating vulnerability to karst disasters. High resistivity values dominated areas with massive karst limestone, ranging from the surface to a depth of 400 m. Furthermore, it was found that a significant portion of karst land is utilized for settlements, plantations, and rice paddies, potentially disrupting the karst ecosystem due to household, plantation, and agricultural waste. This study highlights the importance of understanding the impact of land use on karst vulnerability and informs mitigation strategies for sustainable development in the Sendang Biru region.

“…As the basis for data interpretation, open sinkhole references are used in the form of springs located on paths 1 and 6 and low resistivity anomalies to characterize karst aquifers. Generally, resistivity values are classified into three zones [32][33][34][35][36]. The measurement results obtained resistivity anomalies between 1.2 m to 485 m and were classified as shown in Table 1.…”

Karst zoning and channel aquifers in the karst basin at Sendang Biru Beach, Tambak Rejo Village have been investigated. Sendang Biru Beach has a cave appearance as a karst morphological feature and is composed of limestone. Seasonal karst water sources come from springs, surface runoff, underground rivers, channels in valleys, basins, and slopes that often experience drought. The purpose of this study is to identify the presence of karst aquifers and karstification zones that are prone to damage or disasters in the karst environment. The method used is a geophysical combination of Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Induced Polarization (IP), and Self Potential (SP). The results showed that the eastern part's karstification zone was characterized by moderate to high resistivity and a chargeability zone with a moderate to high range. In addition, the existence of karst aquifer channels in the anomalous zone of low resistivity, high chargeability, and negative natural potential. This zone is located in the Qas Formation, with the water flowing from west to east and from west to south. The inundated karst aquifer that spreads in a circular pattern with different depths interspersed by limestone cracks causes a heterogeneous karstification process.

“…The results indicated that utilization of joint inversion is better that separate inversion as it provides higher density of data and uses different current distribution in the subsoil. The high heterogeneity of karstic environments identification is possible if more information on the subsoil is obtained (Villela-y-Mendoza et al, 2021).…”

Aquifer zones had been explored by the geo-electrical method of electrical resistivity survey (ERS) to mark out subsurface formations in terms of groundwater quality and quantity. The main focus was on identification of subsurface litho-logy and aquifer zones by resistivity method in parts of the Havelian Cantt, Abbottabad district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Province and Sanjwal Cantt, Attock district, Punjab Province, Pakistan. Evaluation of the lithology of subsurface strata was carried out by electrical resistivity survey (ERS) interpreted by software packages 1X1D using ABEM Terrameter SAS-4000. The different 05 sites were selected for ERS after identifying feasible locations. Data acquired was processed using the Schlumberger electrode configuration (SEC) to determine the characteristics of target layer. The results showed that groundwater level (GWL) at Havelian Cantt sites was at 69 ft average depth with resistivity values between 35-56 ohm-m and formation consist of dominance of gravel/boulder mixed with sand/ sand stone and thin layers of clay. GWL at Sanjwal Cantt sites was at 50 ft average depth having low to moderate yield of water and the formation had dominance of sand with alternate layers of clay against resistivity between 25-86 ohm-m. The study concluded that electrical resistivity survey (ERS) is a sound method for measuring GWL in sandy aquifers and boulder clayey formations when GWL is sufficiently deep.
