ABSTRACT
The ground water is water contained in a layer of soil or rock beneath the soil
surface. Groundwater conditions in all aspects of human life has an important role in
supplying water for various purposes. The objective of this paper is to determine the
condition of groundwater based on the value potential of hydrogen (pH), total dissolve solids
(TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), temperature, and the groundwater table (MAT) is
obtained in Bojong Malaka, District Baleendah, Bandung regency, West Java Province. The
method used in this paper is a qualitative method, a method that is descriptive and tend to use
the analysis is based on the concept of ground water hydraulics. Moreover, the method used
is included the mapping of wells Bojong Malaka residents of the area and its surroundings.
After mapping wells Bojong Malaka residents of the area and its surroundings, obtained the
value of pH, TDS, EC, temperatur, depth MAT, and the water level of 10 wells that have been
mapped. Data show that based on the value of pH, TDS, EC, temperature, depth MAT, and
watersheds, groundwater conditions in the village of Bojong Malaka and surrounding areas
including its cleanliness well maintained and did not experience significant pollution.

b. DISCUSSION
In the village of Bojongmalaka,
District Baleendah there are 10 stations
that do research wells of groundwater. Of
all these stations obtained value of the
ground water level (MAT) at each station.
Ground water level is highest at stations 2
and 3 which has a height of 678.3 meters
above sea level while the lowest
groundwater levels are at station 10 which
has a height of 647.25 meters above sea
level. Of the 10 stations are then plots each
and can be drawn contour map of ground
water by connecting the station with 5 m
contour interval. Since water flows from
high to low point of the flow direction of
ground water flow from the superficial
contours high to low contour.
Hydraulic gradient influence the
direction and rate of groundwater,
following the change in the depth of the
water table and cause great seberaapa
water displacement force that occurs.
Hydraulic gradient is the difference in total
depth per unit distance, evidenced by the
formula I = H / I, where I is the hydraulic
gradient, H is a difference or change in
the total depth of the water between the
point - the point of land and I is the
distance between the point - the point. At
the location of the Village Bojongmalaka
penelitain obtained the following data:
Debit (Q) = v / t: 0.216 L / s
transmissivity (T) = 2.3 Q
4 s: 0:21 m2 / s
Specific Capacity (Sc) = Q / T: 1:03 am
Hydraulic conductivity (K) = T / b:
0.013224 m / s
Based on the pH value of the water
in each well, indicating that the
groundwater conditions quite well, terihat
of pH values approaching 7. Based TDS
value of water in each well indicate that
the well water is fresh water. Based on the
EC value of the water in each of the wells
showed that the groundwater is fresh. The
temperature in each zone of the wells
showed hipotermal indicating that the
water temperature is lower than the air
temperatr average. The difference in
temperature is not much different can
address the wells are in shallow springs.
