Shallow Groundwater, Physical Parameters, Chemical Parameters, Gold Mining, PollutionAbstract
This study was conducted in small-scale gold mining areas in the Sekotong Tengah region, which have the potential to cause environmental pollution, particularly to the quality of shallow groundwater that is widely used by the community for daily needs. This study aims to analyze the level of shallow groundwater pollution around the Sekotong Tengah gold mine based on physical and chemical parameters. The physical parameters analyzed include temperature and total dissolved solids (TDS), while the chemical parameters include copper (Cu) content, shallow groundwater pH, and mercury (Hg). This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with groundwater sampling at several shallow groundwater points located around the mining area. The analysis results show that several groundwater quality parameters have changed from their natural conditions, especially in terms of pH and heavy metal Hg content, which are indicated to exceed the established quality standards. This shows the impact of gold mining activities on shallow groundwater quality. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that shallow groundwater around the Sekotong Tengah gold mine has the potential to be polluted and requires environmental management efforts and continuous water quality monitoring to protect public health and sustainability.
