CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1. BACKGROUND
Almost Indonesia people still uses groundwater especially well as their drinking
water source. This happens particularly in rural areas in Indonesia. However, the
information of wells water quality in Indonesia is still lack because the
groundwater sampling is still rare to do especially for well in residents in the rural
areas such as Pesawaran Regency. In Pesawaran itself, the groundwater
monitoring is conducted only once a year and only at two or three sampling sites.
(Environmental Condition Report of Pesawaran) . It is because some local governments
in Indonesia have limit budget for groundwater monitoring. Moreover, the central
government of Indonesia provides limit budget for groundwater monitoring so the
monitoring can not be done periodically. Beside that, the groundwater monitoring
is a little bit expensive due to the technology, chemical reagents used and limited
environment analyst. However, Indonesia government still give less attention for
environment quality.
Usually, the groundwater monitoring is done when the groundwater is
contaminated. Therefore, it is difficult to get data and information about
groundwater quality for long term because many of environmental monitorings in
Indonesia is not conducted for regularly and continuously. However, information
plays an important role in the groundwater monitoring because monitoring
without specification of information needs before the project design will be
wasting money, it is important for the effectiveness of monitoring and needed by
the management for making decisions. (Mogheir, Y and Singh, V.P. 2002).
2. PROBLEM DEFINITION
1
Groundwater is water which is located under the earths surface in the soil pore
spaces. It is recharged from and flow to the surface naturally. The discharge is
naturally happen at springs and seeps and can form wetlands. In addition, the
groundwater is often taken for agriculture, municipal, and industrial use through
contructing and operating extraction wells. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Even though, the manual maethod has some disadvantages, the groundwater
monitoring in Indonesia mostly still uses this method because the new
technology is usually expensive.
Second method is automated method which uses passive techniques. In this
method, a data logger will control a probe which is located in a well to make
measurements from which water quality can be determined. However, this
method has better performance than manual method and the benefits is
outweight than drawbacks. The benefits and drawbacks of automated method
can be seen in below table.

Benefits
Lower cost than manual method

method
Drawbacks
The size of the pressure
transducers and other probes
used limits the minimum
diameter of the sampling
wells in which they are
installed.

According to Robert Powell and Robert Puls (2004), groundwater sampling can
be done using the low-flow and passive sampling. Those methods can be the
most accurate to reduce the large volume of purged water by using dedicated
sampling devices. Beside the volume is eliminated, the time also is reduced. Low
flow samping is modification of traditional techniques that sample groundwater
with pumps. The pump is placed at the point where the contaminant
concentration is desired usually at the zone of highest contaminant
concentration. Then, the purging is begun, typically at a rate of 0.1 to 0.5 quarts
per minute. The parameters that will be measured in this sampling are pH,

Adjust the pump to the slow sampling speed and turn it off.
Attach the pump to the tubing exiting the well and start the pump.
Purge enough water to remove the sampling device volume at least once.
Collect and preserve the samples.
Measure the water level.
Close up and proceed to the next well.
plotted in objective space. 3-NSGAII enables the user to specify the precision
with which they want to quantify the Pareto optimal set and all other parameters
are automatically specified within the algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists
of three steps. First, utilizes the NSGAII with a starting population of 5 individuals
to initiate EMO search. The initial population size is set arbitrarily small to ensure
the algorithms initial search is done using a minimum number of function
evaluations. Subsequent increases in the population size adjust the population
size commensurate with problem difficulty. Second, the -NSGAII uses a fixed
sized archive (which inherently results from the user-specified 3 precision) to
store the nondominated solutions generated in every generation of the NSGAII
runs. The -Dominance allows the user to define the precision with which they
want to evaluate each objective by specifying an appropriate -value for each
objective. Last, checks a user-specified performance and termination criteria to
determine if the Pareto optimal set has been sufficiently quantified. If the criteria
are not satisfied, the population size is doubled and the search is continued.
When increasing the population, the initial population of the new run has
solutions injected from the archive at the end of the previous run. The algorithm
terminates if either a maximum user time is reached or if doubling the population
size fails to significantly increase the number of nondominated solutions found
across two runs.

METHODOLOGY
The groundwater sampling method will be used in the project is passive
sampling because the disposal of large volume of purged water that must be
handled and treated often can be minimized. The method can be the most
accurate to reduce the large volume of purged water by using dedicated
sampling devices because beside the volume is eliminated, the time also is

reduced. Passive sampling has minimum possible disturbance to the water in the
well. The passive sampling can be done by the following steps:
