Comparison Of Isotope And Hydrochemical Characteristics Of Springs In Sembalun – Rinjani Area, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia Before And After The Earthquake Events In 2018

Abstract

The current 2019 isotope and hydrochemical study of hot and cold springs in Sembalun - Rinjani area is a re-assessment of previous similar study in 2012. The aim of this study is to assess the isotope and hydrochemical characteristics of springs due to the earthquake events in 2018. After the earthquake events in 2018, the stable isotopes δ18O and δ2H composition of Sebau hot spring and most of cold springs is shifted into more depleted values which may indicate water-rock interaction or interaction with cold waters which has more depleted δ18O and δ2H values. Also, Sebau hot spring is still plotted at mixing line of meteoric and andesitic water, but still dominant meteoric water. The hydrochemical data of all cold springs and Orok river show the enrichment of Na, probably from silicates weathering or the cation exhchange. While hydrochemical composition of Sebau hot spring is significantly decreased, except SO4, probably due to dilution with cold waters before the thermal water reach the surface. The Piper diagram showed that cold springs and Orok river are Ca-Mg-HCO3 type before and after the earthquake events. While Sebau hot spring is shifted from Ca-Cl type into mixed Ca-Mg-Cl type after the earthquake events. The temperature of Sebau hot spring slightly decreased from 35.5 °C to 34.8 °C after the earthquake events, while Na/K geothermometer calculation also indicate decreasing of sub-surface temperature, i.e. from 146–165 °C to 130–150 °C.

“…Hasil perhitungan analisis isotop 18 O dan 2 H mengacu kepada standar internasional yaitu SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water) yang memiliki nilai 18 O dan 2 H sebesar 0 ‰ secara definitif. Hasil perhitungan analisis rasio 18 O/ 16 O dan 2 H/ 1 H dinyatakan dalam rasio relatif () dengan satuan permil sebagai berikut(Satrio et al, 2021):PURBAWIDYA: ■ keras/kuat) sehingga dapat mengikat air. Daerah resapan merupakan daerah yang berperan penting dalam pelestarian lingkungan sekitarnya, sehinga keberlanjutan MA Riwo dapat menjadi tolok ukur pengelolaan lingkungan ke depannya.…”
