“…The chloride in groundwater may be from diverse sources such as weathering, leaching of sedimentary rocks and soil, domestic and municipal effluents (Sarath Prasanth et al 2012). The range of chloride is found to vary between 115.21 and 2,011.8 mg/l for water samples.…”

In the present study, the geochemical characteristics of groundwater and drinking water quality has been studied. 24 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and total hardness. The results were evaluated and compared with WHO and BIS water quality standards. The studied results reveal that the groundwater is fresh to brackish and moderately high to hard in nature. Na and Cl are dominant ions among cations and anions. Chloride, calcium and magnesium ions are within the allowable limit except few samples. According to Gibbs diagram, the predominant samples fall in the rock-water interaction dominance and evaporation dominance field. The piper trilinear diagram shows that groundwater samples are Na-Cl and mixed CaMgCl type. Based on the WQI results majority of the samples are falling under excellent to good category and suitable for drinking water purposes.

ABSTRAKMata air sebagai sumber air tanah di Kecamatan Cijeruk dimanfaatkan oleh warga sekitar maupun perusahaan air. Pemanfaatan air yang berlebihan menyebabkan terjadinya kekeringan air selama musim kemarau. Perlu adanya konservasi pada daerah resapan air bagi mata air di Kecamatan Cijeruk untuk menjaga ketersediaan air agar mencukupi permintaan air. Penentuan lokasi daerah resapan dan analisis kimia air tanah perlu dilakukan untuk memberi informasi yang diperlukan dalam pelaksanaan konservasi pada daerah resapan mata air. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan: (1) menentukan asal usul air tanah, (2) menentukan daerah resapan air mata air, (3) mengetahui fasies air tanah, dan (4) mengetahui kualitas air tanah. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan di Kecamatan Cijeruk, dengan mengambil sampel air tanah yang berasal dari 10 lokasi mata air yang digunakan oleh perusahaan air dan warga pada bulan Mei 2015. Rasio isotop δD dan δ 18 O pada sampel air diukur dengan liquid water stable isotope analyzer LGR DLT-100 untuk menentukan genesis air tanah dan daerah resapan mata air. Analisis hidrokimia untuk mengetahui fasies dan kualitas air tanah. Parameter kimia yang digunakan adalah pH, Daya Hantar Listrik (DHL), Total dissolved Solid (TDS), dan ion mayor. Hasil penelitian menunjukan: (a) mata air berasal dari beberapa sumber yaitu air hujan dan air tanah, (b) daerah resapan CJR01, CJR02, CJR03, dan CJR04 berada pada elevasi 1988 -2055 m.dpl, (c) daerah resapan CJR06 dan CJR09 pada elevasi 1379 -1430 m.dpl, (d) daerah resapan mata air CJR07 dan CJR08 pada elevasi 811 -836 m.dpl, (e) daerah resapan CJR05, dan CJR10 masing -masing berada pada elevasi 1475 mdpl, dan 1932 m.dpl, (f) fasies air tanah tergolong dalam fasies Mg-HCO 3 (magnesium bikarbonat), dan (g) kualitas air tanah merupakan air tawar segar (fresh water).Kata kunci : deuterium, oksigen-18, resapan air, fasies, kualitas, air tanah. ABSTRACTSpring as a source of groundwater in Cijeruk district exploited by local people and water companies. Excessive use of water causes lack of water during dry season. Conservation of recharge areas to maintain the availability of water to supply the water demand. Determination of location recharge areas and chemical analysis of groundwater needs to be done to provide required information to conserve the recharge area. Therefore, this study aims: (1) determine the origin of groundwater, (2) determine recharge area, (3) identify facies of groundwater, and (4) identify the quality of groundwater. Sampling was done in Cijeruk, groundwater samples were collected from 10 locations that were used by water companies and local people in May 2015. The ratio of isotopes δD and δ 18 O in water samples was measured by liquid water stable isotope analyzer LGR DLT -100 to determine the genesis of groundwater and recharge area. Hydrochemical facies analysis to determine groundwater quality. Chemical parameters used are pH, electrical conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), and major ions. The results showed: (a) spring origin from several s...
