 Introduction
• BACKGROUND • PURPOSE

Groundwater is a very important The aims of this research is to

natural resources and has a determine the flow patterns of
significant role in human daily groundwater in Kabila Area.
activities, invariably for
Gorontalo’s communities. Besides
for daily need, the groundwater is
also used for argicultural irigation
and many more.

PREPARATION STAGE
The prepatory stage of the
research is preliminary stage
before data collecting stage. The
equipment/apps used in this
research is:
-Measure (30m)
-Avenza Apps to record the
longitude, latitude, and surface
elevations at selected Well.
Methods
DATA COLLECTING STAGE ANALYSIS DATA STAGE
The data collecting stage The collected data is processed
includes: into well groundwater maps and
-Measuring the depth of the Well groundwater flow pattern maps
using a measure. using surfer 15 software.
-Taking the x (latitude) and y
(longitude) coordinate data
which then converted to
decimals format.
-Taking elevation using Avenza
Apps.
-The depths and elevation will be
using to find out the headloss
value
 Discussion

•The survey in this study was carried out from 33 grids • The data obtained in the field are the coordinates
with total 35 Well that represented the whole area of (which converted into decimal format), the
the research area (Suwawa, Kabila & Botupinge). elevation, the depts of the well, and headloss.
 Discussion

• The depth of the well range 0,25m-3,8m • Based on the groundwater flow pattern model in
Suwawa and surrounding area, there are 4 low points.
 Conclusion

1 2

The pattern of groundwater

The groundwater flowing from flow at the research area
the high to the low land. heading to Bone river and
Perintis Lake.
