Potensi sumber air dan kearifan masyarakat dalam menghadapi risiko kekeringan di wilayah karst (Kabupaten Gunung Kidul, Provinsi Yogyakarta)

Abstract

Air merupakan salah satu kebutuhan pokok hidup. Kekurangan air dalam jangka panjang dapat menimbulkan bencana. Kekeringan merupakan salah satu bencana alam yang umumnya terjadi akibat berkurangnya curah hujan dan struktur geologis tanah. Kabupaten Gunung Kidul merupakan daerah yang sering mengalami kekeringan karena struktur geologis tanah yang berupa karst. Penelitian ini bertujuan membahas upaya-upaya yang dilakukan untuk menurunkan risiko terjadinya kekeringan di Kabupaten Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan beberapa upaya yang dapat diterapkan untuk meminimalkan risiko kekeringan yaitu membuat sumur yang sumber airnya berasal dari sungai bawah tanah, memanfaatkan sumber mata air dan membuat penampungan air hujan (PAH).

Study of meteorological drought and its impact on rainfed paddy productivity in Gunungkidul Regency

“…Intercropping systems can minimize crop failures compared to monoculture systems because through intercropping the failure of one commodity can be replaced with other commodities that are planted together [36]. In relation to intercropping, one way that can minimize the impact of subsequent drought is through a paddy agroforestry system where paddy is planted intercropping with other seasonal crops which are then planted with border trees such as Teak, Silk Tree and Mahogany [34]. The agroforestry system can be a nature-based solution in minimizing drought where limiting trees planted with seasonal agricultural commodities can maintain the temperature of the surrounding microclimate and can increase the ability of the soil to capture and hold water and reduce evaporation so as to maintain soil moisture.…”

“…One of the adaptations in Gunungkidul Regency was the provision of water resources for horticultural irrigation. Drilling wells are provided especially in the central and northern parts of Gunungkidul Regency which have shallow groundwater [33,34]. Therefore, variations in the relationship between drought and paddy productivity may vary in each region due to different type of paddy varieties and the development of adaptation in each sub-district.…”

Local wisdom of the people of Rengel village in maintaining environmental sustainability in the Ngerong Cave ecotourism area

“…Chemical reactions cause the existence of landscapes in the form of horizontal and continuous vertical sections called drainage or underground systems or underground systems. These landscapes can be exokarst or landscapes on the surface, as well as endokarst or landscapes within she (Nugroho et al, 2020).…”

“…The Karst I area is widely used by the community as a source of water, especially for those who live in areas with limestone topography. Some communities have local wisdom in protecting water sources in the karst area, including the Rengel Village community, Tuban Regency, and the Gunung Kidul Community, Yogyakarta (Nugroho et al, 2020). This study aims to determine the relationship between the local wisdom of the rengel village community and environmental sustainability in the Ngerong Cave area.…”

Characteristics and Water Usage Pattern of Karst groundwater User Communities of “Spamdus Genjahan” in Wonosari Basin

“…The Gunungsewu karst community in general uses water to meet their drinking water needs, bathing and washing as well as feeding livestock [1,2,7]. Sources of meeting water needs in karst areas during the rainy season when there is no access to water network often use water from rainwater reservoir or lake water [2,7,16,17].…”
