Multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) method has been applied much in groundwater potential mapping researches. But when to data scarce areas, it will encounter lots of problems due to limited data. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is the digital representations of the topography, and has many applications in various fields. Former researches had been approved that much information concerned to groundwater potential mapping (such as geological features, terrain features, hydrology features, etc.) can be extracted from DEM data. This made using DEM data for groundwater potential mapping is feasible. In this research, one of the most widely used and also easy to access data in GIS, DEM data was used to extract information for groundwater potential mapping in batter river basin in Alberta, Canada. First five determining factors for potential ground water mapping were put forward based on previous studies (lineaments and lineament density, drainage networks and its density, topographic wetness index (TWI), relief and convergence Index (CI)). Extraction methods of the five determining factors from DEM were put forward and thematic maps were produced accordingly. Cumulative effects matrix was used for weight assignment, a multi-criteria evaluation process was carried out by ArcGIS software to delineate the potential groundwater map. The final groundwater potential map was divided into five categories, viz., non-potential, poor, moderate, good, and excellent zones. Eventually, the success rate curve was drawn and the area under curve (AUC) was figured out for validation. Validation result showed that the success rate of the model was 79% and approved the method’s feasibility. The method afforded a new way for researches on groundwater management in areas suffers from data scarcity, and also broaden the application area of DEM data.

Mulai tahun 2015 hingga 2019 di Kabupaten Bandung Barat akan dibangun sebuah jalur kereta cepat Jakarta-Bandung. Padahal daerah tersebut cenderung bergunung dan berbukit sehingga berpeluang untuk longsor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pemetaan bahaya longsor skala 1:25.000 berbasis peta sub-faset lahan (satuan lahan) skala 1:25.000 sebagai satuan pemetaan di CK 88-CK 114 (KM 88-KM 114). Metode penelitian ini mencakup intepretasi visual citra penginderaan jauh untuk pemetaan faset lahan, dan penggunaan lahan dan perhitungan MCE (Multi Criteria Evaluation) untuk penilaian bahaya longsor. Skor dan bobot dari setiap parameter longsor diperoleh dari pendapat para pakar bencana melalui analisis AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). Berdasarkan hasil analisis AHP dan MCE, parameter utama terjadinya longsor di lokasi penelitian adalah faktor geologi. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa lokasi penelitian didominasi oleh kelas bahaya longsor sedang seluas 42% dari total luas lokasi penelitian, sedangkan kelas bahaya longsor rendah dan tinggi secara berturut-turut seluas 28% dan 30%. Jika dilakukan perbandingan antara jumlah titik longsor terhadap luasan kelas bahaya longsor diperoleh nilai kerapatan kelas bahaya longsor tinggi hingga rendah secara berturut-turut terdapat pada kelas bahaya tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Oleh karena itu, prediksi zona bahaya longsor yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini dapat dikategorikan baik.

ABSTRACTGeostech Building, as an office and laboratory facility, requires a source of clean water from groundwater related to the limited supply of clean water from the PDAM. Due to the needs of freshwater from groundwater origin, data and information are needed regarding the potential groundwater in the area, including aquifer configuration, depth, and groundwater potential. The presence of groundwater is not distributed through every area, and it's related to the geological and geohydrological conditions. One of the geophysical methods that can describe subsurface is 2D geoelectric methods. This method can distinguish and analyze rock types, geological structures, groundwater aquifers, and other important information based on the characteristics of the electricity of rocks by looking at the value of the type of resistance. In this measurement, the Wenner Alpha configuration has been used, where the arrangement of A-B current electrodes and M-N potential electrodes have constant spacing. From the measurement results, it can be interpreted that there is a low resistivity layer containing porous groundwater as an aquifer. Based on regional geological data, it has been estimated that this layer is in the form of sandy tuff (0-1.5 ohm-m). The exploitation of groundwater with drilling is expected to reach the aquifer's upper layer at depth, starting from 11.5-13 meters. The groundwater aquifer thickness cannot be ascertained because of the penetration of the lower depth of 2D geoelectric measurements truncated by the constraint of a maximum stretch of cable. The upper layer of the aquifer contains a turned layer of fine tufa and medium tuff, which is impermeable, coarse tuff, and mixed soil with varying thickness at the upper layer.Keywords: 2D geoelectric, aquifer, potential groundwater, Geostech  ABSTRAKGedung Geostech sebagai sarana perkantoran dan laboratorium memerlukan sumber air bersih dari air tanah terkait dengan terbatasnya suplai air bersih dari PDAM. Kebutuhan air bersih berasal dari air tanah, maka diperlukan data dan informasi mengenai kondisi potensi air tanah di kawasan tersebut termasuk konfigurasi akuifer, kedalaman, dan potensi air tanahnya. Keberadaan air tanah tidaklah merata untuk setiap tempat dan sangat terkait dengan kondisi geologi dan geohidrologinya. Salah satu metode geofisika yang dapat memberikan gambaran kondisi bawah permukaan adalah dengan metode geolistrik 2D. Metode ini dapat membedakan dan menganalisis jenis batuan, struktur geologi, akuifer air tanah, dan informasi penting lainnya berdasarkan sifat kelistrikan batuan dengan melihat nilai tahanan jenisnya. Dalam pengukuran ini digunakan konfigurasi Wenner Alpha, dimana susunan elektroda arus A dan B dan elektroda potensial M dan N mempunyai spasi yang konstan. Dari hasil pengukuran dapat diinterpretasikan adanya lapisan dengan resistivitas rendah yang mengandung air tanah dan bersifat porous sebagai akuifer. Berdasarkan data geologi regional diperkirakan lapisan ini berupa tuf pasiran (0-1,5 ohm-m). Pengambilan air tanah dengan pemboran diperkirakan akan mengenai batas atas lapisan akuifer pada kedalaman 11,5-13 meter. Ketebalan akuifer air tanah tidak bisa dihitung karena penetrasi kedalaman pengukuran geolistrik 2D terbatasi oleh bentangan elektroda di permukaan. Lapisan di atas akuifer merupakan lapisan selang-seling tuf halus dan tuf sedang yang kedap air, tuf kasar, dan pada bagian paling atas merupakan tanah urugan dengan ketebalan bervariasi.Kata kunci: Geolistrik 2D, akuifer, potensi air tanah, Geostech
