APPLICATION OF VERTICAL GRADIENT METHODS OF MICROGRAVITY TIME FUNCTION TO DETERMINE GROUND WATER REDUCTION IN SEMARANG PERIOD OF 2013

ABSTRACT The  development  of  Semarang  city  requires  the  availability  of  water  for  daily  use  and  industry  in  line  with  population growth. Uncontrolled use of water will damage the groundwater system. The purpose of this study was to determine the zone of the decrease  of water  level to obtain information about  area that utilizes excess water. The method  used  is a micro-gravity vertical gradient  between times. Gravity measurements were done at 124  points  spread evenly betweenMay  and  October  2013.  The  results  showed  that  there  was  a  decrease  in  ground  water  level  in  the  Industries  areaKaligawe, Tanah Mas, and Tlogosori which was identifi ed with the vertical gradient anomaly of micro gravity between the times from May to October 2013. The regions which have high negative changes in ground water level (1.2-1.4 m / year)were the monitoring wells Madukoro 2, LIK Kaligawe and PT Aquaria which are the industrial areas. Exploitation of ground water in industrial areas is relatively high compared to the other regions.
