The initiative aims to support sustainable groundwater management while improving awareness and compliance among groundwater permit holders regarding their obligation to provide monitoring wells. A groundwater monitoring well is a facility used to periodically observe changes in groundwater conditions, including groundwater levels and quality. The resulting monitoring data serve as an important basis for evaluating groundwater conditions and supporting management policy decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his remarks, FMIPA UI Dean Prof. Dr. Tito Latif Indra, S.Si., M.Si., presented 2025 data from the Geological Agency, which recorded land subsidence of 4 to 20 centimeters per year in the coastal embankment area of North Jakarta. Meanwhile, monitoring results from 2018 to 2024 indicated a rise in confined groundwater levels of 0.05 to 6 meters per year at several observation points in Jakarta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"These data demonstrate that groundwater conditions are dynamic and require continuous monitoring,\" said Prof. Tito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasized that groundwater management requires an understanding of aquifer conditions and water quality over time, rather than focusing solely on the volume of water extracted. Accordingly, since early February, FMIPA UI has established communication and collaboration with BKAT to develop a groundwater monitoring well on the university campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This facility enables more systematic observation of groundwater conditions and provides data that can serve as a basis for understanding, evaluating, and formulating groundwater conservation measures,\" Prof. Tito explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Tito also highlighted the proximity of the Jakarta Groundwater Basin to the Universitas Indonesia campus. This geographical proximity makes the monitoring well not only a form of collaboration but also a reflection of FMIPA UI's scientific responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, Prof. Tito expressed his hope that the monitoring well could be developed into a living laboratory<\/em> accessible to the academic community and other institutions. He noted that groundwater and environmental conservation issues require a multidisciplinary approach and contributions from various fields of expertise, extending beyond Geology and Geophysics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, the Department of Geography can contribute through studies on the spatial distribution of groundwater, land use, and regional characteristics. The Department of Biology can examine the relationship between groundwater and ecosystem sustainability, while the Department of Chemistry can analyze groundwater quality and chemical composition. Meanwhile, the Department of Physics can investigate subsurface water movement and pressure dynamics, and the Department of Mathematics can contribute by developing quantitative models to predict changes in groundwater conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Jakarta Groundwater Basin has long been an object of research conducted by FMIPA UI lecturers and a topic for undergraduate and graduate student theses. These studies have resulted in various scientific publications and even patents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"With the establishment of this monitoring well as a Living Laboratory<\/em> , we hope to further strengthen these research activities through access to more up-to-date and continuous monitoring data,\" he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the inauguration, the event continued with an outreach session featuring three presentations. The first discussed groundwater permit holders' obligations and the technical specifications of monitoring wells. The second, entitled \"Pantir, Si-Cuhal, SORA, and EWAS: FMIPA UI Geoscience Instrumentation for Environmental Resilience and Mitigation Preparedness,\" introduced the application of geoscience instrumentation in supporting environmental monitoring and risk mitigation. The third presentation examined the characteristics and mechanisms of land subsidence along the northern coast of Java Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event was also attended by Head of PATGTL Ir. Agus Cahyono Adi, M.T.; Head of BKAT Dr. Taat Setiawan, M.T.; Deputy for Water Resources and Food Infrastructure at the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development Dr. Suraji, S.P., M.Si.; as well as representatives from relevant ministries and institutions. Representing FMIPA UI were Vice Dean for Education, Research, and Student Affairs Prof. Anom Bowolaksono, Ph.D.; Vice Dean for Resources, Ventures, and General Administration Prof. Dr. Ivandini Tribidasari Anggraningrum, S.Si., M.Si.; Head of the Geology Study Program Dr. Reza Syahputra, S.T., M.Si.; and Head of the Geophysics Study Program Dr. Eng. Supriyanto, M.Sc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Tito emphasized that there are still extensive opportunities for collaboration between FMIPA UI, BKAT, and the Geological Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"FMIPA UI is ready to play a greater role in helping understand and find solutions to the various challenges we face,\" he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The collaboration is expected to continue through joint research, data utilization, and the potential establishment of specialized classes that can contribute to developing scientific recommendations for sustainable environmental management. The construction of this monitoring well reflects FMIPA UI's Impactful Science<\/em> principle, which measures scientific excellence not only by the number of publications produced but also by the tangible contributions of scientific knowledge in addressing societal challenges.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Depok, 4 November 2026 \u2013 Pemanfaatan air tanah yang tidak terkendali di Cekungan Air Tanah (CAT) Jakarta berpotensi menimbulkan berbagai permasalahan lingkungan, mulai dari penurunan muka air tanah, intrusi air laut, penurunan permukaan tanah, hingga degradasi kualitas air.
