Abstract


The study of monitoring seawater intrusion and groundwater quality in a coastal area needs to be done regularly to prevent the clean water crisis problems in the future. Accurate and reliable interpolation of seawater intrusion over a region is the requirement of an efficient monitoring. In this study, different interpolation methods were investigated and compared to determine the best interpolation method for predicting the spatial distribution of seawater intrusion in the coastal area of Banda Aceh. Groundwater electrical conductivity (EC) was analyzed to identify the contamination of seawater intrusion into the coastal aquifers. Four interpolation methods such as Empirical Bayesian Kriging (EBK), Global Polynomial Interpolation (GPI), Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), and Local Polynomial Interpolation (LPI), were used to create the spatial distribution of the groundwater electrical conductivity. The accuracy of interpolation methods was evaluated by using a cross-validation technique through the coefficient of determination (R2) and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The results showed that IDW performed the most accurate prediction values and the best surface which were indicated by the least RMSE and the highest R2 value. It can be concluded that IDW interpolation method is the best method for interpolating the groundwater electrical conductivity associated with seawater intrusion in the coastal area of Banda Aceh.
