Spatial Analysis of Water Springs Potential in Sub Drainage Basin Hulu Jeneberang South Sulawesi Province

Abstract

This study aims to describe the potential of water springs in the Sub Drainage Basin Hulu Jeneberang using remote sensing and Geographic Information System. There are 5 variables taken into consideration: ranfall intensity, topography, groundwater basin, fault density dan vegetation density. The results showed that there are three classes of water springs potential. Most of the area are in the moderate class, covering an area of 233 km2 (59.44%). The high potential class are scattered around Bili-bili Dam and the upstream areas of Sub Drainage Basin Malino, Takapala, and Sub Drainage Basin Kaosisi with an area of 77 km2 (19.62%), while low potential class covering area of 82 km2 (20.92%). In the medium class area, the water only flowing in the rainy season and soon afterwards, but not in the dry season.
