Abstract

Girisuko Village, Panggang District, Gunungkidul Regency is part of the Wonosari Formation which is
dominated by limestone litology. This creates a form of karst ground that affects the local
hydrogeological system. The karst hydrogeology system is controlled by the fracturing following
structural patterns and limestone dissolving so as to have a special aquifer system. The existence of
aquifer associated with cave subsurface causes problems to the community, namely difficulty to find the
source of water. It encourages geophysical data analysis related to the potential existence of aquifer in
the environment with Karst area. One of the effective and appropriate geophysical methods in knowing
the potential presence of aquifer is the method of Geoelectric resistivity with Schlumberger
configuration. The method utilizes a current injection to get a response of the resistivity value below the
surface vertically. Data acquisition was carried out at 7 measurement points with a expanse length of
400 meters and 800 meters. Processing is done with Software IP2WIN and Strater. The results of the
subsurface profile and correlation between profiles are for the potentials of aquifer. Based on the
resistivity range, it is interpreted to be 4 litological types of limestone rocks among others limestone
(39.3 – 415 Ωm), hollow limestone (777 – 2308 Ωm), wet limestone (44.9 – 100 Ωm) and aqueous
limestone (18.3 – 61.33 Ωm). A litology that has the potential to become aquifer is an aqueous limestone
that has the lowest resistivity response. At T. 2, the depth possessed by aquifer is 66.8 meters, T. 3 has
aquifer in 9.91 meters with a thickness of 8.39 meter and other aquifer which is at depth 102 meters, as
well as on T. 5 which has an aquifer in 11.1 meters with a thickness of 3.3 meter.

Conclusion

Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that in Girisuko Village, Panggang
District, Gunungkidul Regency is composed of limestone, aqueous limestone, hollow limestone, and wet
limestone. From the 7 measurement points, there are three points that are assumed to have aquifer,
namely T. 2, T. 3, and T. 5, with a litology that serves as an aquifer, which is aqueous limestone. The
aquifer has a resistivity value of about 18.3 Ωm – 61.3 Ωm. At T. 2, aquifer is expected to be at a depth of
66.8 meters, T. 3 is at a depth of 9.91 meters with a thickness of 8.39 meters and a depth of 102 meters,
and T. 5 is at a depth of 11.1 meters with a thickness of 3.3 meters. Aquifer in the research area is
assumed as a subsurface river which is characterised by the presence of conduit flow system with
aqueous limestone circuit, while the diffuse flow on the research area occurs in the litological which is
assumed to be a wet limestone circuit
