Surface geological survey as preliminary study for providing water source of agriculture in Tayuban Village, Panjatan, Kulonprogo

The government's policy in the food sector is to achieve food self-sufficiency in the context of national food security, whose priority is in the form of partiality to farmers to improve welfare. This policy cannot be felt yet by the farmers who live in Tayuban village, Panjatan Sub district, Kulonprogo Regency, because there are still obstacles in its implementation. The problem faced by farmers in this village in increasing crop production is the lack of availability of water sources for irrigating secondary crops, especially in the dry season. The lack of water availability causes plant productivity lower, that impacts low income for the farmers. To overcome the problem of water shortages by finding ground water sources. The method in this paper is to conduct a surface geological survey to find out the distribution of sandstones as groundwater aquifers roughly and use topographic mapping data in the form of flow patterns, watershed boundaries and watershed forms. The results of this study can be concluded that Tayuban village is a syncline that can function as a reservoir of water
