Integrated groundwater resource management in the peri-urban area of Banguntapan, Bantul

Abstract

Banguntapan District in Bantul Regency is one of the peri-urban areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The peri-urban area is an area located between the urban (Jogja City) and the rural (Bantul Regency). As a result of this strategic location, the development of this district is very rapidly marked by the growth of settlements, which in turn further requires water for housing purposes.The purpose of this research is to formulate an integrated water resources management model in the study area. To achieve this goal dynamic modeling is used. The model obtained was then simulated using the Powersim 2.5c computer program. Management efforts that can be carried out in this district are reducing groundwater use through saving water use and increasing water use from local water companies. Simulation results show that the combination of these two methods will slow down the time the safe yield will be exceeded, from 2039 to 2049.
