Abstract

Phreatic groundwater, discovered easily around communities in the Kuta Raja Sub-district, is sourced from the subsurface and stored in saturated areas, where it flows naturally through seepage or jets. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the quality of phreatic groundwater using physical and chemical parameters. Color, taste, smell, and temperature were the physical parameters analyzed, while chemical parameters tested included electrical conductivity value, acidity (pH), and hardness level. To conduct the experiment, a total of 50 samples were obtained using a random sampling method. Physical parameters were evaluated using the observational method. Test for groundwater hardness level was conducted at the Aceh Health Office's Health & Medical Equipment Testing Laboratory. The pH was measured using a pH meter, while electrical conductivity value and phreatic groundwater temperature were tested using a water quality checker. The results showed that the physical quality of groundwater was in good condition. Approximately 64% of the samples had characteristics of yellow, tasteless, and odorless. The temperature value was in the medium category (30°C-35°C). Additionally, the electrical conductivity value of 84% was in the medium class (1,200–2,500) brackish groundwater category. It was important to acknowledge that a groundwater pH value of 6.5–8.5 based on field measurements was in the normal class. The hardness level (CaCO3) of phreatic groundwater was evaluated using the Titrimetric method based on SNI Number 06-6989.12-2004. The test was conducted on 6 groundwater samples in terms of water flow and variations in electrical conductivity values. Based on observations, 4 samples were categorized as "hard" samples, while 2 were classified as “very hard”.
