Aquifers selection based on geoelectric method data in the framework of drilling wells

Abstract

The selection of aquifers based on Geoelectric Method data in constructing drilling wells was discussed in the present study. The research was conducted at the International Hospital Project in Nyitdah Tabanan Bali. The research position was around 8,5736 LS 115,1215 LE. Before the study was conducted, a well drill (well 1) has been made. The results showed that there were two types of aquifers, namely unconfined aquifers and unconfined aquifers. Related to this study, well 1 took water in the unconfined aquifers of 4 m depth. If the water kept taken for a long period, the quality and quantity of the water would be worse since well 1 was unconfined aquifers that took surface water. This would adversely affect the hospital building being built. The land around the building would be hollow due to the water loss, and the building would become unstable. Another drill well (well 2), based on geoelectricity data, can be made on 5,25 m - 18,75 m. In-depth 23 m, it was suspected that unconfined aquifers would have been found in well 2. After being drilled, aquifers were found in 23 m depth. Drilling was kept doing to 55 m depth.
