Detection of Groundwater Potential Using Geoelectricity in Kracak Village, Ajibarang District, Banyumas Regency

Abstract

surface and the aquifer, along with their thickness, which has groundwater potential. This study is located in the Kracak Village, Ajibarang District, Banyumas Regency. Three specific point locations (namely, Kracak-1, Kracak-2, and Kracak-3) have been selected to investigate the groundwater potential using a Geoelectricity method with a Schlumberger electrode configuration consisting of 4 sounding points. Based on the analysis and interpretation of the geoelectric survey, all geoelectric points have the potential for groundwater but vary in thickness. In addition, the best location point for drilling a well is at the Kracak-2, considering the thickest aquifer ranging from around 21 to 58 meters.  The Kracak-2 well was drilled to a depth of 70 meters. The casing design for the drilled well at the Kracak-2 point can be made at a depth of 20-60 (10 casing screen pipes).
