Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference in land cover to the water level of dug wells with different distances. This research was conducted by interviewing respondents using the Random Sampling method. Based on the results of observations of dug wells in the field before the oil palm plantations, the dug well water did not dry up during the dry season, both on PKS 1 land cover, PKS 2, and mixed gardens, whereas during the rainy season the water conditions at dug wells were very good at all land cover. And the condition of dug well water after the existence of oil palm plantations has decreased the quantity of well water, the results in the dry season showed a decrease in water level. In the rainy season there is an increase in water level from 1- 4 m. Measurement of dug well water discharge from settlement to oil palm plantations with PKS 1 land cover has the highest water discharge 0.24 m3 / hour, PKS 2 has the highest water discharge 1.01 m3 / hour, and mixed gardens have the highest water discharge 2.34 m3 / hour. The highest well water quantity in PKS 1 is 12.19 m, in PKS 2 the highest well water quantity is 14.36 m, while in mixed gardens the highest well water quantity is 12.31 m. Observation of water quality refers to 4 parameters namely color, odor, taste and pH of water. From the results of observations of dug well water on PKS 1, PKS 2 land cover, and mixed water gardens that are colorless (clear, clean), odorless, tasteless and water pH reaches 5-6
