Feasibility Study of Groundwater Sources for Royal Emran Housing in Gresik

Abstract

Water plays a role in the creation of everything we produce, and cannot be replaced although it can be renewed but is very limited. Local residents usually get clean water sources in the form of groundwater / wells. Based on the Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023, the standard quality of clean water products has 3 parameters. The first parameter is the physical test which includes color, odor, turbidity, amount of dissolved solids, and temperature. The second parameter is a chemical test which includes pH, Iron (dissolved), Manganese (dissolved), Chromium (dissolved), Nitrate, and Nitrite, the last is Microbiological Parameters which include Total Coliform and E-Coli bacteria.

In the research entitled "Feasibility Study of Groundwater Sources for Royal Emran Gresik Housing". This research uses qualitative research methods. In this study the sampling method is conical to SNI 6989.58.2008. Sampling was carried out four (4) times for two weeks. Stages of sampling according to SNI 6989.58.2008. This study aims to determine the quality and quantity of groundwater, aquifers, well discharge, and also chemicals present in groundwater. Research using the storet method provides the results of information that the water samples tested are proven safe as a clean water source needs not for consumption, and for now one well point can meet the needs of Royal Emran Gresik Housing residents, but for future clean water needs groundwater sources certainly cannot meet the needs of clean water for all residents of Royal Emran Gresik Housing, if the entire housing land is densely populated, followed by population growth.
