Abstract

Understanding interaction between groundwater and surface water is essential in hydrogeological studies, particularly in complex geological settings area. This study presents a preliminary hydrogeological conceptual model for the Puger mining area and its surroundings in Jember Regency, East Java, which encompasses both karst and non-karst formations. The region includes the Puger Formation (karst), the Merubetiri Formation (volcanic), and the Argopuro Tuff (non-karst), each of which significantly influences groundwater behavior. Field investigations, geological mapping, and hydrogeochemical analyses were conducted to assess aquifer productivity, flow characteristics, and water quality. Data from Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Electrical Conductivity (EC) measurements were used to identify potential sources of contamination and groundwater–surface water interactions. The presence of springs and seepage along the river supports the classification of the stream as a gaining stream. A Geographic Information System (GIS) was employed to digitize land use, revealing dominant land uses such as agriculture, settlements, and mining. Results indicate locally productive to moderately productive aquifers, with some sites exhibiting elevated TDS and EC values due to poor well construction and anthropogenic activities. A strong linear relationship (R2 = 0.9756) between EC and TDS was observed, allowing predictive assessment of water quality. The conceptual model developed provides a foundation for future research and sustainable groundwater management. Recommendations include improved well sanitation practices and the development of a real-time water quality monitoring system.
