Abstract

Botubarani-Huangobotu Village, a coastal tourist area of Tomini Bay Beach, is part of a Geopark focused on conservation, education, and sustainable economic development. This study aims to assess groundwater availability and develop a conservation plan for the Tomini Bay Geopark. The research involved field data collection, data processing, and analysis to evaluate aquifer characteristics, topography, and groundwater flow direction. The geological conditions of the study area are rock contact between conglomerate of various materials and clastic limestone. Lithologic types are coastal deposits of Foalstone, volcanic breccia, diorite and andesite. Geomorphological units are volcanic hills, marine plains and structural hills. The Botubarani-Huangobotu area has high groundwater potential in coastal areas with high porosity reef limestone rock types. Depth to water table (MAT) is 1–13 m. Groundwater flow moves towards the coast. Groundwater conservation strategies are mechanical and vegetative approaches with measures such as water monitoring, geo-conservation education, and community-based technology extension to encourage community participation in environmental conservation through tree planting.
