Infrastructure construction made andesite’s demand has increased, particularly in Lampung Province. In this research, its distribution in West Sungkai of North Lampung is mapped based on Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) data from 6 lines, each of them was 186 m in length. Due to its excellent vertical resolution, Wenner configuration is performed. The research area is part of Quarter Holocene Volcanic (Qhv) formation. Lajur Barisan members consist of volcanic breccia, lava, and andesite-basalt tuff; thus, resistivity modeling is built within this aisle. Subsurface resistivity model has been created using the non-linear inversion method with promising low error at the third to fifth iterations, which marks an acceptable value. Using 2D and 3D ERT modeling, it is estimated that there are three mains of rocks based on their resistivity value: sandy tuff with 65 – 212 Ω m; tuff with 212 – 655 Ω m; and andesite with resistivity more than 655 Ω m. Andesite within this area is likely lava andesite which spread from the middle to the West and north. It is located at 5 – 35 m in depths with the reserve estimation of andesite is about 1.65 million tons.
An initial subsurface survey to predict the aquifer is important to avoid the unprospect drill location and getting groundwater with the right discharge. In this study, prediction of the aquifer was carried out using the seismic refraction method in Jatimulyo Village, Jati Agung District, South Lampung Regency. The data was collected on October 6, 2019 using the SUMMIT X One seismic tool with 24 Geophones. The first break data from p-wave travel time is processed and interpreted using the Hagiwara method. Interpretation results show that there are three layers of subsurface lithology in the study area. The weathering layer was found at 2 m to 3.5 m depth with average velocity of 360 m/s. The second layer is dry sand with a velocity of 890 m/s at a depth of 2 m to 8 m. The third layer with a 2300 m/s velocity is a mixture of clay rock and saturated sand at depths of more than 8 m. As a comparison there is resistivity distribution data on the same measurement line in the study area. The overall interpretation shows that at a depth of 12 m with saturated clay sedimentary rock as a prospect of aquifer in this study area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
