Water is one of the most important aspects of life, because all living things need water to sustain their lives. In fact, the availability of water decreases especially in the dry season, one areas that are experiencing this situation is Koto Panjang area, Nagari Tigo Jangko, Lintau Buo Sub-district, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatera Province. During the dry season, the people in Koto Panjang is difficult to obtain clean water. This problem can be solved by identifying the aquifer layer, both in position and depth. One method that can be used to identifying these aquifer layers is the geoelectrical resistivity method. This method utilizes electric current to measure rock resistivity beneath the earth's surface. There are various configurations of these geoelectrical methods, the schlumberger array gives good results vertically. The measurement area is approximately 20 hectares with 10 acquisition points. Aquifer layers identified at 50-70 meters of depth with three potential drilling points. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
