Application of remote sensing and gis to identify the vulnerability of ground-water pollution in topograhic karst

Abstract

Karst or limestone is a landscape in the form of unique. Karst or limestone has sensitive properties and is easily dissolved in water so that the karst topography has a subsurface water system in the form of holes that are susceptible to degradation due to the very fast flow of water so that it is easy to pass water underground. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of vulnerability of karst underground water pollution based on remote sensing data and GIS in the Rengel-Tuban Indonesia karst region. This type of research is quantitative research. Data analysis techniques in this study used image interpretation and logistic regression tests. The researched result is known that Remote sensing imagery and GIS as a tool to identify the level of vulnerability of underground water pollution in the karst region. Utilization of remote sensing imagery and GIS is presented as information of vulnerability of underground water pollution, and the study showed that the average area of karst Rengel was classified as vulnerableto pollution. In conclusion that the average area study was classified as vulnerable to pollution, and the Rengel karst hills are in line with local levels of vulnerability and pollution
