Aquifer Geometry Identification and Determination of Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) in Bandung

Abstract

Groundwater basins in Bandung city are included in the category of vulnerable areas to damage. It is interpreted that the Bandung area has damaged groundwater conditions. Geological conditions and soil in Bandung and its surroundings consist of alluvial layers of the eruption of Mount Tangkuban Perahu. The type of material in the north is generally a type of andosol. In the south and east of Bandung consists of a distribution of alluvial species with clay deposits and andosol soil types scattered in the central and western parts. This research was conducted to determine the hydrogeological and environmental conditions, groundwater level, pisometrics, aquifer characteristics, and water balance in the ASR Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wellbore. The research resulted in providing clean water that continues to be developed because of its effectiveness as a solution to overcome the groundwater crisis and groundwater level decline in the manufacture of ASR wells.
