Definisi Hidrolika air tanah
Asal kata: Hydrogeology
Definisi hydrogeology (kamus Inggris-Indonesia)
1. Ilmu tentang berbagai aliran air tanah
2. Ilmu tentang cara-cara pemanfaatan air yang
terdapat di bawah permukaan tanah serta akibatnya
pada siklus hidrologi
Typical Applied
Hydrogeological Questions:
Where can I find groundwater in sufficient quantity and quality? (groundwater
exploration, groundwater development)
How much groundwater can be extracted at a certain location or from a certain
aquifer? (aquifer analysis, catchment delineation, well head protection,
sustainability)
How fast moves groundwater? (water protection areas - well head protection)
How old is it? (recharge, flow / seepage velocity, sustainability )
Where does it go? (contaminated site affected area)
Where does it come from? (drinking water supply, water protection area)
How is the quality of groundwater? (drinking water, irrigation ..)
But also: All kinds of questions related to water in the unsaturated zone!
Groundwater Recharge, Infiltration, Percolation (sustainability, quality aspects
and more)
Chemical Reactions in the Vadose Zone (e.g. de-nitrification)
And: Groundwater - Surface Water Interactions
Fields of Interest of Hydrogeologists
and Groundwater Engineers
Groundwater Exploration, Development: locating and assessing
groundwater Resources
Groundwater Resources Management: exploiting and protecting
groundwater resources, management and mediation of stakeholder
interest
Geotechnique (Engineering Geology / Geotechnical
Engineering): assessing the impact of groundwater and water in the
unsaturated zone on construction works
Groundwater and Soil Remediation: identifying, locating,
assessing, removing, cleaning of (usually artificial) sources or
results of contamination in the saturated or unsaturated zone
(Hydro-)Geothermal Applications: locating, assessing, exploiting,
using thermal energy stored in groundwater
Mining applications: keep water from flooding the mine, prevent
contamination by mine waste water, problems with mine tailings, acid
mine drainage .
Objectives
Mahasiswa dapat memahami parameter dan
mekanisme yang dapat mengontrol aliran air tanah.
Mahasiswa dapat memahami sifat dan perilaku aliran
air mulai dari skala mikro (porous) sampai regional.
Mahasiswa akan diperkenalkan dengan metoda dasar
di dalam pemodelan dan prediksi aliran air tanah.
Untuk memahami secara menyeluruh mengenai ilmu
hidrolika air tanah ini partisipasi mahasiswa di kelas
sangat dianjurkan.
Materi Perkuliahan
o Pendahuluan: definisi hidrolika air tanah, siklus
hidrologi dengan penekanan elemen yang berkaitan
langsung dengan air tanah.
o Air tanah: definisi aquifer dan jenis akuifer.
o Karakteristik fisik : porositas, densitas, bulk densitas,
particle density dan permeabilitas,
o Prinsip aliran: hydraulic and continuum approach dalam
aliran melalui media berbutir.
o Inhomogeneity dan anisotropy , keseimbangan air
tanah; persamaan gerak air tanah,
o Hukum Darcy, hidraulic conductivity,
Materi Perkuliahan (lanjutan)
o Aliran di dalam zone tak jenuh,
o Hidrolika aliran di dalam sumur (steady dan
unsteady), hidrolika dari sumur imbuhan
(recharging well),
o Interface antara air tawar dan air asin (intrusi air
laut)
o Pengenalan mengenai kimia air tanah dan
pencemaran air tanah.
o Capture zone dan aplikasi hidrolika air tanah.

Tugas
o Diperkirakan 3-4 tugas dalam 1 semester
o Tugas ini umumnya problem solving, harus dikumpulkan
satu minggu setelah tugas diberikan.
o Fieldtrip kalau memungkinkan.
o Keterlambatan akan mengurangi penilaian, setelah lewat
dua minggu tugas tidak akan diterima.
o Setiap mahasiswa diharapkan mengerjakan tugas secara
mandiri, DILARANG menyontek atau copy paste. Yang
memberikan contekan dan pencotek nilainya NOL.
UJIAN (EXAMS)
Material covered on the exams will include anything
discussed in class, including from homework assignment.
Each exam will cover only those topic presented in the
most recent of the class.
There will be no make-up exams.
Penilaian
Penilaian didasarkan pada:
Kehadiran : bonus kalau hadir 100%.
Tugas : 25%
Quiz : 15%
UTS : 30%
UAS : 30%
Tata Tertib Perkuliahan
Berpakaian rapi dan alas kaki tertutup (tidak bersandal)
Kehadiran minimal 80% utk dapat mengikuti UAS.
Komunikasi melalui HP hanya bisa dengan mode silence
Penggunaan laptop terbatas (no browsing, chatting, dll)
Aktif berinteraksi selama perkuliahan dan tidak berbenturan
dg unsur SARA.
Ujian maupun tugas dikerjakan secara mandiri, tanpa
mencontek. Mencontek otomatis nilai E.
