A R T I C LE I N FO ABSTRACT
Keywords: The Cidanau geothermal field is situated in the northern part of Mt. Parakasak in Banten province, West Java,
Hot spring Indonesia. Nine hot spring samples, one river sample, and one cold spring sample were collected and analyzed
hydrochemistry for their chemical composition and stable isotope ratios of the water. The objectives of this study are to char-
isotope acterize the chemical composition of hot spring water, to estimate the reservoir temperature and to develop a

conceptual model
Indonesia were characterized mainly as Na-Cl-HCO3 type of water. The pH of the waters was close to neutral. The tem-
perature of the hot-water discharges varied from 32.2 °C to 61.1 °C. The waters were evaluated to be immature
due to mixing with shallow groundwater during the upflow process. Mixing ratios between cold and hot waters
were estimated to be 12.2 to 98.3% with Cl concentrations using a mass balance approach. Higher mixing ratios
were found for samples at KR-5, KR-37 and KR-43 and can be explained by the existence of fault zones. The δ 18O
and δD values for geothermal waters in the region ranged between −7.1‰ to −6.4‰, and −43‰ to −38‰,
respectively. Isotope signatures of all hot springs suggest a local meteoric origin, and the oxygen shift corre-
sponds to an exchange between circulating meteoric water and reservoir rocks in the geothermal system. A
conceptual model of the Cidanau geothermal field hot springs is proposed.

the water in these geothermal fields is similar, i.e. both are from me-
teoric water. They estimated a reservoir temperature of approximately
180–280 °C for both geothermal fields. Harada et al. (2014) carried out
a numerical simulation of the geothermal system in the Cidanau geo-
thermal field and estimated the geothermal reservoir temperature to be
approximately 250 °C at 2 km below sea level under Mt. Parakasak with
a high geothermal gradient of 11 °C/100 m and a heat flow of 45 mW/
m2. These results are from a geothermal numerical simulation using the

(Utama et al., 2012).
The study area comprises two volcanoes and a wide swampy area
that is filled with volcanic debris such as tuff and clay deposits.
According to Van Bemmelen (1949), Rusmana et al. (1991) and Santosa
(1991), the formation of the lithostratigraphy unit in the study area
took place from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene, and resulted in
the formation of the oldest volcanoes in the area, namely Mt. Karang
and Mt. Parakasak (Fig. 2). The oldest rocks are andesitic to basaltic
lavas, volcanic breccia and tuff (Plio-Pleistocene), specifically that of
the Mt. Kamuning formation as formed by a pyroxene andesitic basalt
(Pleistocene), that of Mt. Parakasak by volcanic breccia, and tu ff (Ho-
locene), that of Mt. Karang by andesitic to basaltic lava, tu ff and vol-
canic breccia (Pleisto-Holocene) and that of Rawa Danau sediment
formations (Holocene) (Fig. 2). Normal faults with a strike of northeast-
southwest control the appearance of springs in the study area. Ac-
cording to Herdianita and Julinawati (2007), these faults are an ex-
tension of the Lampung fault system in southeast Sumatra.
The peak of Mt. Parakasak is 990 m. (a.s.l) and has two calderas.
The geomorphology of the inner caldera is an indication of the most
recent sedimentation in the north of the study area (Rawa Danau se-
diment/ Qr); nearly all the sediment has come from the south volcanic
slopes and has been deposited in alluvial fans and fluvial systems in the
caldera.
Sudibyo et al. (1995) and Suryaman (1999) divided the study area
into three different aquifer systems, based on discharge mechanisms
and aquifer capacity. (1) There is no aquifer associated with the peaks
of both volcanoes (Mt. Karang and Mt. Parakasak), and so there is no
groundwater worth mentioning. (2) The volcano slopes include an
aquifer where groundwater flows through porous media and locally
fractured media. Here, young volcanic deposits consist of multiple
The depth of the wellbore is approximately 30 m. The sampling points
are mostly located at an elevation of approximately 100 m a.s.l., except
they have well yields that are less than 5 L/s and transmissivity values
of about 600m²/day. (3) At the foot of the volcanoes there are aquifers for KR-43, which is at 253 m a.s.l. Water samples were filtered in situ
