One of the causes of the electrical potential at the earth’s surface is water seepage into the ground. Electrical potential caused by water velocity seepage into the ground known as streaming potential. How to model water seepage into the ground at the housing Unhas Antang? This study was conducted to answer these questions. The self-potential measurements performed using a simple digital voltmeter Sanwa brand PC500 with a precision of 0.01 mV. While the coordinates of measurements points are self-potential using Global Positioning System. Mmeasurements results thus obtained are plotted using surfer image distribution self-potential housing Unhas Antang. The self-potential data housing Unhas Antang processed by Forward Modeling methods to get a model of water infiltration into the soil. Housing Unhas Antang self-potential has a value of 5 to 23 mV. Self-potential measurements carried out in the rainy season so it can be assumed that the measurement results caused by the velocity water seepage into the ground. The results of modeling the velocity water seepage from the surface to a depth of 3 meters was 2.4 cm/s to 0.2 cm /s. Modeling results showed that the velocity water seepage of the smaller with depth. ## Keywords - Infiltration (HVAC) - Groundwater - Surface water - Voltmeter - Environmental science - Electric potential - Remote sensing - Soil science - Geotechnical engineering - Geology - Meteorology - Engineering - Environmental engineering - Geography - Voltage - Electrical engineering --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
