Karst landscape generally has a high vulnerability to pollution. Karst landscape is a landscape that forms from soluble rock. The solution processes results many holes which connecting the surface to underground river networks. Soil and vegetation are generally thin and sparse. The increasing of the population and they various activities can add pressures to the landscapes such as in the eastern parst of Gunungsewu. The karst groundwater management and protection effort need its intrinsic vulnerability and risks to the groundwater pollution hazard characteristics information. The aim of the study are to assess the level of vulnerability and risk of groundwater in the eastern part of Gunungsewu karst area against pollution hazards, as well as making maps of land use directives in the area. Vulnerability and risk to pollution was based on budiyanto’s model. The model was based on remote sensing data of Landsat 8 OLI and GDEM ASTER. The result of this study indicate that most of the study area has a high level of vulnerability to pollution hazard. However, this area mostly has a low level risk to pollution hazard. It is in line to the lack of sources of groundwater pollutants hazard, the presence of soils on karst rocks, and the presence of vegetation cover. Land use direction maps produced based on the level of vulnerability and risk to pollution. It shows that most of these areas are designated as protected areas. However, there are areas for the maintenance of land functions that vulnerable and high risk to pollution.
Spamdus Genjahan" is a karst groundwater management system in Genjahan village which include in Ledok Wonosari basin. Smart water quality monitoring and management system based on the internet of think (IOT) is a new innovation that will be applied to the operation of "Spamdus Genjahan". The application of new innovations really needs to understand the character and water consumption patterns of the people who are candidates for using these innovations. Therefore, this study aims to explore the characteristics and patterns of use of karst groundwater in the community who use water from this system. The population of this research is the entire community of water users managed by Spamdus Genjahan. Data is taken through observation and interviews. Data were analyzed through the mean analysis method and presented using tables and graphs. The results showed that the majority of the people who use Spamdus Genjahan water have a low to medium level of education with the main job in the non-formal sector, namely farmers or laborers and odd jobs. In line with this, the level of community knowledge regarding water quality is relatively low. Most of the family members who use this water are 4 to 5 people in one family. Most of the use of water is used for washing, bathing, cooking and drinking water.
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.
