Abstract

This study is a quantitative descriptive study with a spatial approach that aims to map groundwater potential zones in Batang District, Jeneponto Regency, using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) methods. The parameters used in this study include rainfall, soil type, slope, geology, drainage density, land cover, and straightness density. The weight of each parameter was determined using the AHP method, then weighted overlay was performed to produce a map of groundwater potential zones. The results of the study show that the Batang District is divided into three categories of groundwater potential zones, namely low category with an area of 455 hectares (13.53%), medium category with an area of 2,226 hectares (66.07%), and high category with an area of 687 hectares (20.40%). Validation of nine observation points showed that the ROC Curve statistical analysis produced an Area Under Curve (AUC) value of 0.92, indicating that the AHP model has excellent classification capabilities.
