Abstract

Long Kali village has geothermal manifestation in the form of hot water known locally as “Danum Layong”, which means “hot water” in the language of the local community. Since the site’s inauguration in 2009, there has been a significant decline in visitor numbers, mainly due to inadequate construction and ongoing maintenance issues that have left the site in a state of disrepair. This research aims to carry out an analysis of the quality of hot water, with special emphasis on the characteristics of the surrounding lithology and the specific environmental conditions that exist at that location. Laboratory tests have results showing that, even though the hot water shows a high temperature, and the level of hardness is also high due to the limestone lithology that composes the research location, the high temperature maintains a neutral pH. The low iron content is due to the lithology of the constituent being clastic sedimentary rock. The results of this analysis classify water quality based on lithology as good. Meanwhile, based on the conditions of the research location, it is considered unfit but can be changed if improvements are made. Based on the two analyzes it can be concluded that this hot water is said to be feasible if repairs and renovations are carried out on the facilities and infrastructure at the location.
