In the last decade, there has been an increase in the population very rapidly not only in urban areas but throughout the villages of the region in Indonesia. This led to a huge increase in the need for clean water where the availability of surface water has begun not meet the needs, and groundwater ultimately plays an important role in meeting those needs. However, along with the increase in water use soil, there are negative effects that arise when groundwater exploitation becomes excessive and one of the impacts is the occurrence of seawater intrusion which destroys the quality and quality groundwater quantity. It is hoped that the long-term objective of this research will be produced a report on the estimated intrusion of seawater that can be used as a reference to optimize the protection of groundwater resources. For that purpose short term in this research is to produce information/description regarding the current extent of seawater intrusion in Kadatua Island, Southeast Sulawesi based on data obtained from the identification results in the field.
