Abstract
Teluk Betung area is an area in the southern coastal of Bandar Lampung city directly adjacent to the sea. Based on a survey of residents wells in the area, indicating that the groundwater in this area has been contaminated by seawater (brackish) so it is not suitable for consumption. This occurs because of the increased need for fresh water in proportion to increase of population in the region resulting in ground water exploitation continues to increase every years. The reduced water content in the soil may result in the entry of the aquifer layer of seawater into the aquifer zone and contaminate ground water, this condition is often referred to as seawater intrusion. To mapping the pollution zone caused by the seawater intrusion we used resistivity method.
