Abstract

Maros karst area known have a morphology similar a tower form, valley (doline, uvala) along cave with underground river. This research aims to analyse the hydrogeology behavior of Maros karst area so it will reveal existence of water potential. Method used in this research is geology survey there is fracture system measure for getting joint dominant direction related to cave system development and underground river, along with morphology identification to know the function as catchment area, aquifer and infiltration zone. Geoelectricity method used to presume limestone structure and cave system base on value of resistivity. The result reveal that the morphological of the research location implied in karst hill with macro type (eksokarst) positive form that is tower karst and negative form that is ponor, also many speleothem (endokarst). Analysis of fissure system orientation found two (2) common direction at Saleh Cave that is northeast to southwest direction it’s about 65oNE–245oSW where the joint direction relatively having the same direction with dry channel and southeast to northwest direction it’s about 140oSE -320oNW where the underground cave system have the same way. Geoelectricity interpretation indicate the cave system and underground river reside in about 18-45 meter below surface. Hydrogeology behavior of Maros karst at Saleh Cave very dependent by morphology condition, also development of fissure structure.
