- Abstract
The eastern Gunungsewu karst landscape generally has characteristics that are vulnerable to environmental degradation problems. Soil is one of the natural elements that can be a protector against the potential threat of degradation. Water holding capacity is an important factor that must be considered in efforts to preserve soil and control its continued impacts. This study aims to determine the nature of soil hydraulics in the Gunungsewu karst valley from the parameters of water holding capacity. The study population is the bottom soil of the karst valley located in the western, central and eastern Gunungsewu karst region located in Gunungkidul Regency – Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia. The test results showed that the water holding capacity value of karst valley bottom soil ranged from 76% to 96% with an average of 85.33%. Spatially, there are differences in the large pattern of water holding capacity values in the Gunungsewu karst area. The water holding capacity value of the western Gunungsewu karst valley soil is generally higher than the central and eastern parts. On the north side, the central and eastern Gunungsewu karst areas generally have a higher water holding capacity value than the south side.
