Abstract

Seawater intrusion has a serious impact on the availability of fresh water for the population. Indication of seawater intrusion in several locations in Merauke Regency, Papua, showed by fluctuations of water quality in resident wells from fresh water into brackish water to salt water. The purpose of this study was to identify the occurrences of salted/brackish water, both in superficial and deep aquifers in Merauke Regency, Papua, using the geoelectric method of resistivity with Schlumberger configuration. There were four locations of measurements namely Merauke, Jagebob, Kurik and Semangga. Data processing was done using IPI2WIN software. Indication of seawater intrusion determined by resistivity value is 1.07-ohm m at 19.11 m depth in Merauke: 0.794-ohm m at 23.26 m depth in Semangga, and 0.329-ohm m at 14.8 m depth in Kurik. There is no indication of seawater intrusion in Jagebob.
