Groundwater Flow Modeling in the Malioboro, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Abstract

Malioboro is a famous tourism area in Yogyakarta City, in which there aremany hotels and increases every years and this follows by the increasing needs of fresh water taken from underlying groundwater. The decreasing of groundwater table become a great issue on this area, therefore the objective of the research is to predict groundwater table change in the next 10 years due to increase abstraction of groundwater. To answer the mentioned objectives, field observation of dug wells and collection of secondary data of log bores also calculation of recharge and water abstraction are used to understand and build the conceptual model of local groundwater system. The prediction is done by conducting simulation on a numerical groundwater model by using MODFLOW. The local groundwater system consists of two aquifer layers; upper aquifer and lower aquifer which separated incompletely by clay layer. Simulation is conducting by distributing the groundwater pumping for domestic and non-domestic utilization by dug wells in the upper aquifer, whereas deep wells non-domestic utilization are applied only in the lower aquifer. Simulations are conducted twice for the recent day and the next ten years predictionof groundwater abstraction. In the case of groundwater abstraction in the next tenyears, dug wells abstraction and deep wells pumping are setting to 4727 m3/day and 1648 m3/day, respectively. The groundwater pumping rates is representing increase of groundwater withdrawal of users in the range only between 0.2–1.2 % per year compare to the recent condition. The simulation reveals change occur on groundwater table depth and pattern. In average, the groundwater table will decrease of about 0.25 meter.

Kajian Bioaugmentasi pada Air Tanah Tercemar Solar di Kecamatan Gedongtengen, Kota Yogyakarta

“…Di beberapa wilayah aliran air tanah menjadi tidak seragam, ada yang mengarah ke timur dan juga ke arah barat. Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh adanya sungai-sungai yang membelah Kota Yogyakarta seperti Sungai Winongo dan Sungai Cade [21]. Aliran air tanah di Kecamatan Gedongtengen mengalir dari utara menuju selatan, barat, dan timur.…”

Feasibility Evaluation of Wastewater Treatment Plant System: A Case Study of Domestic Wastewater System in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

“…There is a need to evaluate the effluent of domestic wastewater system since groundwater and river in some part of Merapi Aquifer, Sleman Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY), is polluted. Asriningtyas & Putra (2006) has simulated the whole Merapi Aquifer with emphasis in Sleman Regency and Satapona et al (2018) in Malioboro Yogyakarta with the findings that productive aquifer system tended to decrease in water level with the rate of groundwater withdrawal that was in accordance with the increase of population, business and tourist growth rate in the area. However, the opposite effect, that was the rising of groundwater level was prevalent (Manny et al, 2016) when there was urban recharge and sewers leakage.…”

Water cycle modelling strengthened by probabilistic integration of field data for groundwater management of a quite unknown tropical volcanic hydrosystem

“…Generally calibrated on river flows, they simplify the complexity of the aquifers that is induced by the andesitic volcano structure. Process-based models solving Richards' equation and Darcy's law have also been developed to represent physical processes [Chang et al, 2020, He et al, 2008, Lo et al, 2021, Satapona et al, 2018. In this case, the finite element mesh is constructed by incorporating geological and hydrogeological features to simulate the water table with a calibration on monitored boreholes.…”
