Abstract
Ground water utilization increases along with population growth and city development. Ground water is one of the sources of water to fulfill daily needs for households, government offices, private sectors, businesses and industries. The research was aimed to formulate a conservation model for sustainable groundwater utilization in Makassar City. This research used primary data and used questionnaire techniques for data collection. The data was analyzed by using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis and the MPE analysis approach (Experimental Comparison Method). The AHP method is intended to determine the priority of sustainable groundwater management strategies in Makassar City. While the MPE method is intended to determine the best model of sustainable groundwater conservation in Makassar City. The results showed that the main strategy in sustainable groundwater management in Makassar City is to increase PAD based on the environment becomes a top priority (49.20%). While the MPE analysis showed that the best model for sustainable groundwater conservation efforts in Makassar City is the conservation model for groundwater used with a combination of scenarios/models 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 where the efforts include; saving groundwater, making infiltration wells, harvesting rainwater and installing water meters.
