Abstract
Nowadays, intensive exploitation of aquifers is seen as one of the main environmental issues in Grobogan together with other phenomena such as climate change, changes in land use, and so on. To that respect, the artificial groundwater recharge almost stands as the only solution in order to reduce directly the effects of aquifer exploitation and increasing the groundwater capacity. Data of Water level, Hydrogeology, Geology, Topography and Lithology as the material to calculate the deficit of aquifer and recovering the groundwater to support the water requirement for the peoples. Investigation of groundwater is using geoelectrical method. The result of this research as the important tools for decision making in providing the good, sustain and adequate water for the People in Grobogan Regency.
