Abstract

Pangkep Regency, precisely in Minasate'ne District, has a fairly rich potential for natural resources, both physical and non-physical potential. One type of activity to utilize existing natural resources is marble mining activities in Minasate'ne District, Pangkep Regency. However, this mining activity also has an impact on environmental conditions, one of which is hydrology and groundwater problems. Currently, the condition of groundwater around the mining area is quite disturbed, especially the condition of the residents' wells which is quite concerning, especially in the dry season where the wells of the community around the mining site have experienced a decrease in the groundwater level at an alarming level. The results of geoelectric measurements for deep groundwater for the Kalabirang Village Area are in the depths of 10.7 – 17.2 meters. Meanwhile, for the area around Bontoa Village, the groundwater position is at a depth of 3.76 – 6.3 meters. The existence of deep groundwater that appears on the mining front of PT. Wutama Tri Makmur has ± 161 Liters / Second but from a physical, chemical and biological perspective it can be concluded that the water at the mining site, absorption ponds and community wells is still at the water quality standard threshold where the pH ranges from 7 -7,8 and TDS 65 - 1292 mg/l.
