Abstract

Indonesian Government Regulation No. 71/2014 requires all parties to maintain the ground water level less than 40 cm below the ground level to prevent land fires in peat lands. This regulation is quite burdensome as it will be very difficult to do during the dry season. The results of research that has been carried out on peat which has a hemic maturity level show that the soil water content is still in the range of 200% at a distance of 50 cm above the groundwater level. The purpose of this study was to study whether the same thing would happen to peat lands with different levels of maturity and water table depth. In order to achieve this objective, research has been carried out using survey and monitoring methods on the peat lands of PT. Mendahara Agrojaya Industri, located in Lagan Tengah village, Geragai sub-district, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency for six months. Data collected includes peat depth determined by drilling using a peat drill, peat maturity is determined using the van Post method, groundwater depth carried out using a steel tape, the soil water content was determined by the gravimetric method, the C-organic content was determined using the loss ignition method. The results showed that there was a difference in soil water content between the water level depth (50 cm, 60 cm, 70 cm, and 80 cm) and the different maturity of peat (sapric and hemic). The farther from the groundwater level, the faster the peat burns.
