“…In addition, the regulation in Indonesia sets the maximum permissible nitrate level at 50 mg/L [17]. Based on the chemical parameters, if the water from a dug well-containing nitrate levels above the threshold limits of 50 mg/L consumed by people around the well, then it is risky to interfere with the digestive system, causing diarrhea mixed with blood, convulsions, to the risk of death if not soon get help, chronic poisoning due to consuming water containing nitrates high ones lead to general depression, pain headaches and mental disorders [18]. Clean water needs according to provisions for household needs and drinking water is necessary.…”

Groundwater is the primary clean water source for most Indonesian society. The increasing use of groundwater is inevitable due to the rapid development in Indonesia, particularly in Yogyakarta. Shallow aquifers are vulnerable to contamination due to anthropogenic influences. Therefore, this research aims to determine shallow groundwater's physicochemical and chemical characteristics on the southern slope of Mount Merapi, specifically focusing on nitrate and chloride concentrations in groundwater. This research collected monthly data from eighteen dug wells or springs and rainfall data in the study area during the rainy and dry seasons from August 2022 to January 2023. The analyzing sample used argentometry to determine chloride concentration and ultraviolet spectrophotometric to determine nitrate concentration in Yogyakarta Environmental Health and Disease Control Technical Center (BBTKLPP) laboratory. The physicochemical parameters were tested directly in the field using Hanna instruments. The results indicate that a significant portion of shallow groundwater has high nitrate concentrations, corresponding to the growing settlements in the research area. Furthermore, according to the comparison graph between nitrate and chloride, the nitrate source was indicated as anthropogenic. Fecal matter from sanitation practices using septic tanks will likely influence the nitrate increase.
