Introduction (Where’s Mount Ciremai) 3 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung

Just to give you an idea in term of size Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung 4 13,000 of islands Nearly 350 Million of population 130 of volcanoes km of coastline (  Coca Cola cans in line)

APPLIED GEOLOGY RESEARCH DIVISION, FACULTY OF EARTH SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY INSTITUT TEKNOLOGI BANDUNG Why Mount Ciremai, among other 129 volcanoes in Indonesia ?

5 seconds of your time = nearly 40,000 L/sec of fresh high quality groundwater Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung

Introduction (Mount Ciremai’s Profile) 8 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung Large number of springs, with no systematic catchment monitoring and management.

The Hydrogeological Features (Geology, from Situmorang, 1995)  Consists of old and young volcanic products of pyroclastics flow and intruded lava underlied by Oligocene-Miocene clastics sediment.  Main geological structure:  NW-SE fault at south from the peak  E-W fault at easter slope, resulting Sangkanhurip and Pejambon geothermal prospect. 9 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung Map and sections are on the poster location

Why are we doing this ?  To measure groundwater response: with relatively efficient and cheap method.  To explain groundwater infiltration processes: with the thickness variation of the soil and complex condition of the strato volcanic deposits. 10 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung

Why are the problems ?  Thick weathered soil and fractured rock  Complex volcanic geology  Outcrops of rock is hard to find  Unpredictable subsurface condition (buried faults, buried valley, etc from geophysical method) 11 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung

How do we approach the conditions ?  What if we can extract something (by any chance) from:  The hydrochemistry parameters  The hydrodynamic parameters 12 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung Lack of long continuous time series data

Methods (Field measurements)  24 hours measurements of:  Environmental temperature (measured at the surface)  Groundwater temperature (measure at spring site) 13 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung 24 hours measurements of: Environmental temperature (measured at the surface) Groundwater temperature (measure at spring site)  Daily measurements in time frame of:  Rainfall: using standard rain gauge, obtained at the nearest station:  The Susukan Station (309 masl)  The Mandirancan Station (293 masl)  Groundwater discharge at spring site: using channel measurement technique  Groundwater EC and TDS: using standard portable equipments.

What do we know so far ?  Irawan (2009, doi: /j.jhydrol ): There are 3 groundwater systems (based on the hydrochemistry)  Herdianita et al (2010): Isotopes confirm that the recharge area is at around masl (in regional scale of the volcano).  Sumintadireja et al (2011): confirm buried structures in the volcanic layers (MT and geoelectric) Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung 14

Results (Cibulan Spring)  Response:  Highest discharge: three to four months from the peak of rainy season.  Lowering discharge: two months since the dry season begins.  Lowest discharge: six months since the dry season begins. 17 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung Spring discharge hydrograph

Conclusion  With this methode, in my point of view we can interpret the subsurface condition.  We have to have enough geology observation and geophysical data to support that.  This convey our prediction that the aquifer is a combination of porous medium aquifer from weathered soil and fracture medium from fractured lava and breccias.  In volcanic system, the boundary is beyond the topographical catchment area. It’s controlled by the lobes of lava or volcanic breccias. 22 Applied Geology Research Division, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung

Conclusion (Proposed type curve) Model A  Quick rising period in the baseflow recession curve.  Relatively have better compliance to the dry season.  Relatively long storage period.  Combination porous-fractured medium. Model B  Slower period in the base flow recession curve.  More vulnerable to dry season.  Relatively short storage period.  Combination porous-fractured medium.
