Lots of Potential Sand Plain Gumuk Containing Groundwater

Quarter in the coastal landscape Kulon Progo formed by the main process yesterday (Pliocene-Pleistocene period), followed by eolian and fluvial processes (Holocene). As stated by Dr. Lasting Wahyu Santosa, S.Si., M.Sc.,
"The geomorphology of the past left a significant effect on the phenomenon of the present land forms. Genesis landform influences on the formation hidrostratigrafi aquifer in coastal areas, ".In addition, the genesis of this area will also influence the evolution of the free soil water indicated by the variation of groundwater hidrogeokimia process specific to each form of land. While the genesis of the influence of landform on the coast of Kulon Progo, known to be the result of which occurred in the past characterized by limestone formations sentolo reef activity originating from the zone of shallow sea in calm water conditions and the formation of patterns of morphological slope toe and buckling hillsides Sentolo which resembles the pattern of the bay and headland. Furthermore, there are deposits of clay lenses that contain fossils of marine molluscs and marine shallow layer of peat decomposition results marsh plants, as well as the pitfalls of brackish to saline ground water from the basin of the former lagoon.Langgeng said of the results of research conducted along the Progo river to river Bogowonto, Kulon Progo, can be used to determine the position of ground water container, estimate soil water content are, knowing the nature of ground water, so that it can be recommended for fit for human consumption and whether by the local community . "The unique nature of ground water is good and no good can be used as a reference for the proper and whether consumed by masyaraat as drinking water," said doctoral graduates of GMU-1252 to this.He said a proper ground water consumed in the plain land fluviomarin, complex shoal beach, swale and Gumuk Sand. Among Karangwuluh, Janten, Kebonrejo, and Kalidengen, District Temon. Meanwhile, soil water content in the area of sand dunes south of ground water is very risky if taken continuously. It is feared, ground water will be filled by sea water. "Taken a lot of the material is sand, then water will run out of land, sea water will enter. If you add sand, the morphology changed the water is disturbed, when the water is also used for agriculture ".
