Abstract
Springs is one of the primary sources of clean water that can be used to fulfill domestic water needs in Cicurug village. Its residents have widely used the springs in Cicurug village, but the springs management is simplistic. Thus utilization of water resources management practices in Cicurug village should be further developed. This study analyzes the spatial pattern of springs utilization based on the potential area, the actual utilization area, and the comparison between the potential area and the actual utilization area. The results of this study indicate the springs in Cicurug village are located between the altitude of 165-346 m above the sea level and discharge of 0.158 l/s to 1.935 l/s. The potential areas of the springs utilization are located between the altitude of 135 to 300 m above the sea level. The actual area of utilization springs in Cicurug village includes the land use types in villages located between the altitude of 164 to 275 m above sea level. The comparison between the potential areas of utilization of springs with the actual areas shows that utilized area exceeds the potential areas and there is an actual area of springs utilization that is narrower than potential areas.
