Springs is one of the primary sources of clean water used to fulfil domestic water needs in Cicurug village. Its residents have widely used the springs in Cicurug village, but the spring management is simplistic. Thus, utilization of water resources management practices in Cicurug village should be further developed. This study analyses the spatial pattern of springs utilization based on the potential area, the actual utilization area, and the comparison between the potential and actual utilization areas. The results of this study indicate the springs in Cicurug village are located between the altitude of 165-346 m above the sea level and discharge of 0,158 l/s to 1,935 l/s. The springs utilization's potential areas are located between 135 and 300 m above sea level. The actual area of utilization springs in Cicurug village includes the land use types in villages located between 164 and 275 m above sea level. Comparing the potential areas of utilization of springs with the actual areas shows that the utilized area exceeds the potential areas. There is an actual area of springs utilization that is narrower than potential areas.
