- Abstract
South Kalimantan has productive geodiversity potential. The distribution of limestone is spread across several districts, including Tabalong, Rantau, and Kotabaru. Utilization of this rock has been carried out by the Banjar tribe along the river since ancient times as a filter for river water for drinking water needs. This study aims to obtain a clear picture of the benefits of geodiversity in the form of limestone for water filters. The method used in the form of laboratory tests on limestone and limestone filter water. To ensure that the material used for water filters is used, a thin incision (thin-section) to determine the type of rock and calculate the permeability and porosity of the rocks used. The results of the study found that the stone increases the pH value and neutralizes the water along with the enrichment of the major elements of filtered river water. The use of local limestone for water filters is still used by the Banjar tribe community along the river of the Hulu Sungai Utara River in South Kalimantan as a pearl of local wisdom that needs to be preserved and can be judged as a unique local technology, environmentally friendly and by a sustainable environment.
