STUDY OF LAND WATER POTENTIAL AS SUPPORTING WATER SOURCES IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN KAPUAS DISTRICT

Indonesia has two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season, during the dry season there are often haze and drought disasters, this is due to a lot of land clearing and the occurrence of forest and peat fires. One area that often fires is in the Kapuas regency of Central Kalimantan province. Kapuas Regency which is currently based on Undang-undang No 5 Tahun 2002 is a district resulting from the expansion of Gunung Mas Regency with an area of 14,999 km2 has a northern topographic condition in the form of hilly areas with a slope of 8º15º while the southern part is a swampy area. Kapuas Regency is one of the mainstays of the agricultural sector. Since almost 65% of Central Kalimantan's rice production is supplied from Kapuas Regency, the potential of agricultural land is 76.80 thousand hectares and there are still 277 thousand hectares of land that has potential to be developed, so that every year often smoke disaster caused by land clearing. This study looks at the potential of groundwater in Kapuas Regency to overcome the problem of haze by conducting geoelectric investigations to see the potential of existing groundwater. Geological investigations are used to see the potential of groundwater in the Kapuas Regency with the resistivity geoelectric method. Based on geoelectric mapping carried out in Kapuas Regency in the areas of Batuah, Lamunti, Dadahup, Bungai Jaya and Palingkaumaka the results can be used to overcome the haze even though the potential is very small between 0.3 l / sec to 3 l / sec.
