Groundwater is one kind of clean water resource. The increased development of human activities, such as agriculture, industry, and settlements, has a cumulative impact on groundwater conditions. The main purpose of this research is to assess the intrinsic vulnerability of shallow groundwater to pollution in the City of Pasuruan. The utilized method in the intrinsic vulnerability assessment of shallow groundwater is the GOD method, by utilizing geoelectric data. The parameters used in the calculation are aquifer layer type (G), soil layer type above the aquifer layer (O), and ground water depth (D). The City of Pasuruan has a moderate to high index of intrinsic vulnerability, and shallow water at the study site is categorized as vulnerable to pollutants.
