Abstract:
The distribution and quality of groundwater have been determined in Kualu Village, Tambang
District, Kampar Regency. Underground water in research area has the potential for polluted
water due to waste from septic tanks and solid waste from the housing. The waste can affect the
suitability of the water for consumption, therefore, it can affect the aquifer system. This study
aims to analyze the aquifer layer, distribution, and water quality of the groundwater. This
research uses Schlumberger geoelectric and geochemical method. The data was collected from
the field with two passes, each of which is 100 meters in length at MutiaraKualu III Housing
with a resistivity device consisting of current and potential difference parameters. The data was
converted into apparent resistivity using equations and processed using a software called
Software Progress. The first sample has pH value of 4.08, turbidity level of 0.28 ppm, TDS of
18 mg/L, COD of 19 mg/L, and total Coliform value of 96/100 mL.while the second sample has
pH value of 5.00 ppm, turbidity level of 1.52, TDS 21 mg/L, COD 32 mg/L, and total Coliform
value of 27/100 mL. Based on the five parameters tested, it can show the feasibility of water for
consumption.
