Assessment of groundwater utilization in the Bandung-Soreang groundwater basin based on non-domestic water demand planning standards

Abstract

The need for water in various human activities increases with population, agriculture, and industry. The utilization of surface water is a priority to meet water demands. However, if access to surface water cannot be fulfilled, then the fulfillment of water demands will shift to groundwater. The research was conducted by calculating the standard of water demands for industrial activities based on the ministry of public works and housing standards. The first calculation is carried out by calculating water demand through the industrial land area in the research location and multiplied by the standard of water demand for non-domestic water demands. The second standard water demand calculation is the equivalent percentage of domestic water demands as non-domestic water demands. The first calculation method explains that West Bandung Regency had exceeded the maximum value of the standard water demands. In the second calculation method, Cimahi City, Sumedang Regency, and West Bandung Regency had exceeded the maximum value of water demand standards. Further research is needed regarding the collecting data of distribution and volume of groundwater utilization by unregistered wells. It is to explain actual groundwater utilization for domestic and non-domestic in Bandung-Soreang Groundwater Basin. So that water resources management can be carried out comprehensively.
