Northern part of Lombok island has a unique geological phenomenon of submarine groundwater discharge. Submarine groundwater discharge needs to be conserved for its sustainability. This study asseses groundwater vulnerability for SGD conservation in the northern part of Lombok Island Indonesia. The assessment was conducted using aquifer vulnerability index methods. Vulnerability index value in the study area is high vulnerability index. This vulnerability index is getting higher toward the coast. The layer is tuffaceous pumice layer with a hydraulic conductivity value of 5 m/day. This layer makes the aquifer in the study area very vulnerable to contamination, especially for pollution involving vertical percolation and infiltration. Protective management is needed to prevent groundwater hazard in the research location due to groundwater pollution and heavy pumping. Anthropogenic activity at the study area should be anticipated because of the high index of aquifer susceptibility at the study area.
