| Abstract | Analysis of pollution indices, predictions of the distribution of pollution loads, and thefactors that most influence groundwater pollution are important to explain further as mitigationand conservation efforts for groundwater, which is used as a source of drinking water for thepeople of Wanuawaru Village, Bone Regency. Groundwater Pollution Conditions can be obtainedby calculating each sampling point’s pollution index value. Next, an analysis was carried outusing the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) approach using a Geographic Information Systemto determine the distribution of the spatial load of soil water pollution. Meanwhile, statisticalanalysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to determine the factorsthat most influence soil water pollution. The results showed that the pollution index value atthe third sampling point was in the lightly polluted category (5.0 ≤ Pij ≤ 10) with the pollutantload concentration at the first point being 6.65, the second point 8.04, and the third point 9.84.By referring to the analysis of spatial results, the highest pollution load is at the third samplingpoint, which is recommended to be the primary focus in controlling groundwater pollution inaddition to massive control efforts at points 1 and 2. Furthermore, the factors that influencegroundwater pollution most are chemical variables with a coefficient of 0.890, biologicalvariables with an effect of 0.337, and physical variables that tend to reduce pollutants by 0.255.Sustainable mitigation and conservation efforts can be carried out through more comprehensivewater treatment, public education, protection of water sources, ecosystem rehabilitation, andintegrated monitoring with technology that can effectively maintain groundwater quality andreduce negative impacts on health and the environment. |
